Planes, trains and Austromobiles

Making our way from home to Hubert’s concert boat in Germany Suzy and I used an impressive range of transport. In the early hours of the morning Mum and Dad took us by car to Stansted Airport, where we had to take the Stansted shuttle to get to the right gate for our aeroplane to [...]

For your viewing pleasure

I got back from Germany (by the skin of my teeth) on Monday. Lots of my own photos to come (assuming I ever catch up on my work), but meanwhile here’s a link to a Deutsche Welle “Euromaxx” report on Hubert von Goisern’s tour. Suzy and I can be seen in a few scenes, on [...]

I’d rented a very shiny, very heavy, very beeeyootiful lens to try out that day: a Nikon 70-200mm f2.8. So [...]

7 Days Summer 2008: The Mosaic

Aah, 7 Days. Remember it? It was about, oh, I don’t know, ELEVENTY BILLION years ago. It was the one where we all started swearing at each other and making videos. Where the water theme on day 5 meant that various of us finally had a wash and I drowned under a pile of work [...]
