“I can usually walk down Main Street and find a new place which will keep me occupied.” No Regrets Hayden is a Watford supporter. I forgave him and we met at Queen Elizabeth Park on an overcast yet clear Sunday afternoon. I wanted to find out more about Hayden and in particular, what prompted...
Daniel’s Story
“I remember taking a taxi towards Downtown Vancouver for the first time back in February and noticing the city’s architecture against the backdrop of the mountains. It was truly stunning and inspiring” On a fresh, dazzling, late November morning, I met Daniel who was still very much in the land of jet lag. Daniel...
Pennie Smith, The Clash and that (Im)perfect frame
It really forced home that sometimes the imperfect and the serendipitous capture works so much better than the over-composed, over edited image. I love my music. I'm the guy that retained my vinyl; albums, 7" singles, 12" singles, they're all still with me. One of the jewels in the crown has to be my...
Behind The Mask
I've launched a new personal project. I have an interest in humans, what makes us tick, what drives our behaviours, and why we sometimes work against our own best interests.

Walking Victoria – Ogden Point
Named after a 19th Century, Hudson's Bay Company trader, the breakwater pier at Ogden Point provides great views whatever the weather. Victoria proved to be a good city for walking.

The film bug bites hard
It's a brand new, old world and I'm loving it. I admit that form and function are important to me. After reacquainting myself with film through the Olympus Trip I turned my attention to finding an old SLR camera. What to look for? It was a no-brainer. The Olympus OM-1, a well storied, professional...
DSLR time
At last, a DSLR. I found the Canon refurb store on eBay around 2005 and waited for an EOS 300D to show up. It was what I could afford at the time and I used existing glass. I was back in the world of through the lens and enjoying the benefits of selecting my...
