Two weeks in India – from Mumbai on the Arabian Sea to Chennai on the Bay of Bengal – but right in the middle was the main reason for the trip… The Nilgiri Mountain Railway – built between 1891 and 1899 and still running under steam from Mettupalayam to Coonoor en-route to Udhagamandalam (Ooty, always […]
I’ve never really got it, Leica rangefinders – old fashioned, under-specified, expensive – who wants or needs one..? The first time I considered Leica (and I mean Leica M rangefinders) was back in the days of film, my kids were arriving and it wasn’t practical to carry the two of them plus 20kg of camera […]
Next door in fact. Anyway, he came in to have his picture taken, the first of many I suspect. He’s an Airedale Terrier, eight weeks old – no fuss as yet – I think that is about to change…

Uploading a pile of memory cards to the hard drive isn’t quite like waiting for the first contact prints to come out of the developer but however much you’ve seen on that […]

An historic event comes back to London after 35 years away; and for me a first time in the Olympic Velodrome – it’s taken a while (see my Portfolio pages for more of the London Olympics). Great atmosphere, dramatic racing – just like an evening at Wimbledon Dogs. With the Madison and Derny racing (bikes […]
The Royal County of Berkshire Show actually. Anyway, it just goes to show – it’s not just Yorkshire where folk gaze wistfully at sheep…
