A few hours south of Siem Reap on the bus is Batdambang. An amazing night market is on when I arrive which is all linked to the upcoming Water Festival….Some superb eating to be done his evening! DAY 1 Serenity at a Buddhist Temple, kids larking about in the canal and more market shenanigans. A… Continue reading BatdamBANG – Buddhists, Balloons, Bottles and more
Temples, tuktuks and Siem Reap
I’ve been in Cambodia for less than a week and seen only a small part of the country, around Siem Reap and the Tonle Sap Lake, yet am amazed by the richness and variety of life here . Floating villages, bustling markets, vibrant loud festivals, lush green countryside and the inevitable temples. It’s exotic, bright, colourful,… Continue reading Temples, tuktuks and Siem Reap
The Ice Axe and other portraits
A last visit to my favourite location in Chinatown. The whole idea of coming to Bangkok and diving straight into the heart of the old city, was that I wanted to get comfortable photographing people and to shoot more portraits. I have the perfect low-light lens for it – so I thought I’d better start with myself! Shave… Continue reading The Ice Axe and other portraits

Days and Nights in Bangkok (1-3)
It’s all been about photos, local knowledge and getting into the underbelly of Bangkok. I’ve based myself in Chinatown. Hot and humid and really challenging. Yvan has been a great guide and mentor and has helped me immensely in my photographic journey. Here’s a selection, with precious little waffle. I hope the pictures tell there own… Continue reading Days and Nights in Bangkok (1-3)
Mt Cook and a Starry-starry night
A quick shufty at the Clay Cliffs at Omerama then on towards Lakes Pukaki/Tekapo. The most spectacular views of this range bar none…. After visiting the Observatory on Mt Cook I decided an overnight in remotest remote-land, may prove lucky for my last attempt at a NZ starscape. The skies cleared at 10pm and the minus nine night… Continue reading Mt Cook and a Starry-starry night
Captain of the Steampunk Enterprise.
After fleeing from Invershitesville ….I slowly worked my way up the coast looking for …..something. Moeraki boulders? Tourist stop! I have to say that the 2 hr walk up the beach was more interesting, but once there I was determined to try and make them look a bit intriguing. Don’t be fooled though and, my… Continue reading Captain of the Steampunk Enterprise.
inverCARgill
Some lush motors and that’s IT, as far as visiting Invercargill. It’s also a freaking long way to get to – and by proxy – AWAY FROM (and pronto). Lush motors though….I want several shown below (One, in black, with flames, and a fuck-off blown hemi please?) and my old BSA A65 – Losang -remember… Continue reading inverCARgill
Doubtful about Milford, but Sound.
I’m coming down with some sort of hideous kiwi bug so I’m laying low and banging this one out quickly, so excuse the lack of anything that it’s lacking in. I feel like shit! I’m now all seriously drugged up and will head on soon, I hope. Great weather for my overnight trip to Doubtful Sound… Continue reading Doubtful about Milford, but Sound.
