Photography: Berlin, Hamburg, and a new home.

At the beginning of the summer, Jonas and I made another trip to Germany. First to Berlin: although I'd been before, I felt I hadn't spent enough time there and this time Jonas and I could really get into exploring properly. We ate a lot of ice cream and saw a good few exhibitions that I count as some of the best I've ever experienced.

We also moved in together with some friends, into an area with a lot of character, and lots of odd bits and bobs that get left around in the street. I ought to take more photographs of it out in the winter, I've got out of the habit of bringing my camera everywhere.

Japan Photography.

In September, my family and I lived out a life-long dream of visiting Japan for a whole 15 days. We traveled to several destinations: Tokyo, Hakone, Kyoto and Osaka to finish off. Of course if you had seen my Instagram you'll have seen plenty of the novelty Japanese treats we had... but I also brought my camera with me.

These pictures have sat on my hard drive for a while; at the time, I felt like they weren't as magical as the experience was (question is, are photographs, and should photographs, ever be good as the real thing?). But since looking back a few days ago, I think I had a few gems. Japan, I will be back.


















As usual, more are posted on my photo blog here.

Resolutions and Refresh.

It has been a whirlwind these last few months and thus my promises have been unkept as usual...BUT it's January now, and with some further encouragement from my tutors, I ought to continue with what I started. To begin with I think it's time that I change my URL to something more interesting and relevant, and possibly a new look?

Here is my refreshed resolution:
I would like to write once a week about something... whether that be about an article I've come across, some research I've done, or something I'm working on. Just as I had done with my previous work, I need to make sure that I am consistent and constantly writing. After all I need the practice!

Up next, those promised photographs.
