City Guide
Yesterday I had the privilege of guest-blogging over at one of my favourite blogs, Allison Lehmans Show & Tell. I shared some of my favourite Glasgow spots… wander on over & check it out.

A few weeks back when I was in London I took the chance to see a couple of exhibitions that really inspired me.
The first was called Wembley to Soweto, at the Oxo Gallery. The gallery shows the results of a month long photography course run in Johannesburg last year that gave teenagers an opportunity to learn not just how to take good photographs, but how to feed your family using a camera as the tool of your trade. Watch the video below to learn more.
The second exhibition was by Duffy, at the Idea Generation Gallery. I love Duffys work, so it was great to have the chance to see some of it printed and hung large… great experience.
Very excited to get out on the road again this week, as I head south for Chris & Laura’s wedding. I’ll be spending some time with an old flatmate, reconnecting with Australian friends I last saw in Uganda 3 years ago, drinking coffee at Monmouth, and last but not least of all watching (& photographing!) some of my best friends getting hitched!
Should be an epic week…
David duChemin wrote this post yesterday which you should read. It’s one of the best things I have read in a long time, and I fully agree with him.
Gear is fun, and I love new toys as much as the next person… but it ain’t worth crap if you don’t have a story to tell. I met with a new client this weekend, and was sharing that even though I love shooting weddings, they serve a purpose… they allow me to fund the kind of humanitarian work that moves us to compassion and action. It was a reminder to me as much as anyone else.
That new D3s I’m lusting after? Yep, it’d be great. (And if anyone wants to gift me one, my birthday is coming up…!)
But that ticket to Rwanda/ Australia/ wherever… better.
