Last September I went with a friend to Paris for a few days, to see the sights and a band called ‘Stars’. On our second day there we went up the Eiffel Tower to get a look at the city from above. I love the way the contrast of the sun versus the clouds illuminates … More Photo of the Week: Paris Skyline
So, I’ve finally been able to properly get back to the task of editing the various pieces of my portfolio. I’ve completed over 6000 words of my dissertation (first draft of course), and now I feel much more at ease about it and know that I can put it to one side for the moment … More (6) Editing Mania
Right, first thing’s first. Mac or PC? In my humble opinion Mac’s win every time. Their user interface is superb, they look fantastic, and they don’t crash right when you’re at a vital stage of whatever you’re working on. To put it simply, they just work. Also, PC’s use Windows Movie Maker, which is rubbish. … More All About Editing (Part 1)
So in preparation for my upcoming RTW trip I’ve been going through all the brochures I got from STA (we went and had a chat with them last week about our plans), and even though I’m not going be leaving for another 10 months and nothing’s even booked yet, I’m so excited. I’m like a … More Planning + Costing
This is the question I’ve been asking myself over the last few weeks, as I plan for my next big adventure. As an explorer and wanderer, I feel like I should be able to travel light, to not be weighed down by my material possessions, but as a blogger, photographer and film-maker, I also think … More Does Technology + Travel = Disaster?

You don’t want a massive and complicated Digital SLR (Single Lens Reflex) camera if you’re just taking pictures of your friends on a night out but then again if you’re wanting … More Cameras, Cameras, Everywhere!
This was honestly one of the most beautiful sunsets I think I’ve ever seen, taken over the South Pool at the Sugar Beach Resort in Mauritius just after Christmas. The way the sun’s orange rays broke away and up through the clouds was just amazing, illuminating the whole sky.
Over the last week I have mostly been focusing on my dissertation and getting a solid first draft done so that I can really turn my attention to this project, because knowing me, once I properly start the editing on the various parts of my portfolio, I won’t stop, and everything else will be out … More (5) Getting Back To It
Now that my lovely, beautiful, sunny holiday in Mauritius is over and my friends have all gone home after our New Year’s celebrations in London, it is back to the grind of work work work, dissertation, dissertation, dissertation. And I’ve got to say it’s thoroughly depressing. The only thing keeping me going is the thought … More Post-holiday, Pre-uni blues
For Christmas I went to Mauritius with my (very extended) family…that is, my dad, my elder sister, my two younger half-sisters, my ex-stepmum, her new boyfriend, and their two-year-old (whom I consider my sister). See, I told you it was complicated.
