The last time I was in Norway the pandemic was just about to kick off proper. We had a lovely bunch of people, some amazing locations, and a feeling that we were far far away from all the drama.
I always feel so safe up in the Arctic. The communities up here are full of people who know how to prepare for anything :)

This is my buddy Ian. We've enjoyed over a decade of travelling together. Funny how some people come into your life and bring a whole new outlook to what you do and suddenly almost everything in your life becomes more rewarding.
Thanks Ian. I hope we get plenty more journeys together.

Too often with photography we're looking for grandeur. We want the big scene or the perfect shot. I notice this when travelling with camera club folks in particular.
It's the little moments that make photography for me, the imperfect pieces that reveal the texture of a place. Life isn't perfect, and neither is photography.
I think of my style as 'editorial'. I collect pieces of a story. Lots of pieces.

Editorially speaking, I always need one good landscape scene to set the context of a place. After that I'm looking for details, texture, nuance and variety that reveals the character of a place.
If a picture tells a thousand words, then a curated set of photos can tell an entire novel :)
