It’s been a couple of years since we visited the Festival of Speed, but the wait was worth it. We stayed the night in a nearby Airbnb and although admittedly the German (self-proclaimed) petrol-heads were a worry for the morning there were no towels so no problem. The pleasant and turquoise haired Mrs Von-Hamburg (real …
When I was a teenager phone-numbers only had three numbers but electric guitars had actually been invented and they were pretty much my life. However I don’t think I have ever had as many instruments gathered together as I do at the moment. Yes, as someone mentioned recently, it’s great to combine two passions of …
Who says the weather never gets in the way? Nope, I haven’t heard that said much either. Well we got there in the end, a split shoot with internal and external shots of the pupils at the impressive Exeter School. It was great to deal with happy smiley people, seriously, not a single mention of …

In this instance as part of the efforts to remove the slipping land mass Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Service arrived with a specialist skill set; pumping large volumes of water.

No-one pointed out to me how wet Devon gets before I moved. Yes yes I should have got that Devon’s green fields don’t just happen. The first Autumn we were here the road out of Topsham (past the Bridge) flooded shut, so it’s nothing new. And over the first few years that I was here …
A couple of days in London and a deliberately different approach, the Leica stayed at home and the back was burdened with Nikon and Manfrotto. I have never been a natural tripod user (stoppit) but the D800e and for that matter the D610 both offer much more if one is used. I am still not …
Some time ago I posted about the exeter civil engineering photography of the Exe cycle bridge, well now the work gets an outing in the form of the D&B 2014 calendar. The layout and outputting was done by the great team at Stormpress a huge thanks in particular to Hayleigh for doing such a good …
This one has been on the cards for a while but life, holidays and work have got in the way. Richard, is an old friend (older than me even). He does design, he likes design; he got a little hot and bothered over my Peli. He has had a very nice frame built up by …
