Italy is a place of wonder. In summer time it is beautiful. In the early morning the streets are quiet and easy to navigate. This quietness distils everything that is great about Florence. Unlike many other European cities Florence is not a 24 hour place. It is busy during the day, entertaining in the evening […]
Hello Bali
I have always been an optimist. Sure somethings won’t always go your way. The best laid plans always need a plan B, C, D or even a E. Photography has taught me to be spontaneous. To commit to good ideas and not just a good schedule. This is the essence of great location photography. I […]
Mykonos
Every year is different. This year is no exception. We have never been to Greece with our children before.

The hottest and coolest bar in the world.
Having worked in the hospitality industry while at college I am always curious when people gush about a certain restaurant, bar or location. What is so special, why would you go all the way there just to have a drink or a special meal? The answer is that usually its a combination of things, maybe […]
The knife sharpening man from the Matakana Markets.
Matakana is a place to escape to. It sits about an hour North of Auckland. It’s a place where people retreat from the hustle and bustle of Auckland. A place where people retreat into themselves. The local market is a dog free space. At the entrance of the markets you are greeted by local children, […]
