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.

When the LUMIX S1R came out I was pretty excited. 47MP in normal mode, and 187MP using pixel shift. Truth is it's exceedingly rare that I need more than 20MP and mostly these days I use the LUMIX S5 instead. It's smaller and lighter and still does 96MP with pixel shift, so that's not bad.

I'm getting ready to head back in a few weeks, and thinking about what camera to pack. Hmmmm.
