I finally had a taste of the infamous Durian fruit today. I’ve meant to many times before so the boss took one into the office, and we all had a taste. The smell wasn’t as bad as I expected and the taste of it was……different. Quite a weird texture, but again, not nearly as bad […]
I’ve removed the previous slideshow and added some more images…still none of them show the jungle, the camps, the kampongs etc, but it’s a start. This is a sample of some of the photographs I’ve taken over the last two months – mostly in the last few weeks.
I managed to take some time out today. I was all relaxed, finished my book during breakfast and was all ready to order a taxi to the ferry terminal. I then made the mistake of walking into the office and had 10 minutes of stress after walking into a discussion about a photo exhibition in […]
I was sending an email the other day, first thing in the morning, still tired from the night before, and ended up ranting. The funny thing is, it’s probably the most realistic account of my life as the expedition photographer. I’ve edited it a bit as it originally formed part of an email, and more […]
Yaaah, I managed to get two dives in today to complete my PADI Advanced Open Water I started in the Philippines last year. I found out a few things during the dive today, some good, some bad : I don’t panic too much when it all goes a bit pear shaped Even in exotic locations, […]
There’s been loads of articles published, largely due to our ever efficient PRO Kate. This article in The Star is about the gravity water feed system in Kampong Linapasan I was on for 10 days at the start of the month. There’s another article about the Opening Ceremony in The Star with more general coverage […]
Was just killing time browsing around about photography when I stumbled upon this article about an IPTC image tags mishap by Lothian and Borders police during the G8 summit – a word of caution for learning photographers in there!! I also discovered that Olympus are about to launch a 10MP consumer camera featuring an image […]
I was about to say nothing much to report again – I went for a two pound haircut this morning then continued sifting through pictures again. Being in the office is driving us all a bit mental. Raleigh fever has hit bad – I’ve got a habit of loosing everything that I’ve put in a […]
Well I’ve finally uploaded some pictures for you to view at the Wandering Scotsman Gallery (I’ll fix that URL name soonish!). All these pictures are ones of me, so a bit self indulgent, but it will give you a taster of what I’ve been up to, and what kind of environment I’ve been living in. […]
Pretty uninteresting news today. I’ve been sifting thousands of photos of mine (and others) to select them for the 06E Expedition Magazine. Eventually they were ready and I popped into the city centre to pop it into the printers. It all went super smoothly, but I guess we’ll find out on Thursday or Friday when […]
