A week or so back, I had an opportunity to do a quick shoot with model Tammy Clifton. We had a small window of opportunity, and did some portraiture in the Lane Cove National Park in Sydney. Tammy was only in town for the day, having traveled down from Taree. She was great fun to…

Day 28 This morning, we caught the tour company courtesy bus from our resort for the hour-long commute to the marina. From there, we boarded our boat which ferried us around a bunch of iconic islands to the east of the Phuket peninsula. I don’t know what it was, but I felt crook all day,…

Day 25 We were up at 05:00, and out the door by 05:30 this morning. At Heathrow by 06:00, two hours ahead of our 08:00 departure. A fairly uneventful flight to Doha, a 3 hour stopover, and a connecting flight to Phuket in Thailand. We’d decided to spend 4 days in Thailand as it would…

Although we’ve done a lot of walking on some of our sightseeing days on this trip, today epitomised what I had come to call “The Walk of Madness”. The three of us walked about 15km or so for the day, me lugging 12kg of camera gear. From our Air B’n’B on Rue de Clery, we…

We caught an early bus down to the Palace, and were faced with a couple of options. We could join the queue waiting for access to the inside of the Palace, or we could go and wander through the gardens, which at this time of the morning, were largely deserted. It looked like the queue…
