A collection of writings about projects, adventures, and general musings. Good to read if you want to get to know me a little better.
I’m heading to Peru on a travel photography job!
This morning I’m heading to Heathrow Airport, boarding a plane, and heading to my very first international photography job!
Stay in
Perhaps it’s time to enjoy the little things you might forget to enjoy sometimes and remember that rest might be what you need, however much you fight it, and try to do too much.
Be alone
The beauty of solo travel, of backyard adventures, of being able to take yourself off into the wilderness to switch off for a while – to focus on creation, reflection, and a few hours of peace.
A solo trip to the Langdales | Photojournal
Self portrait practice, accidental summiting, and too much time looking at lambs.
Don’t let one thing define you
Experimenting through so many things helped lead me to this point, knowing a little more about who I am by not defining myself as one thing.
Blindly enjoying the natural world
Blindly enjoying the natural world just isn’t an option for me anymore; sustainable life choices and travel have become intrinsically linked and I’m wondering how I can do more. There’s more to ethical living than veganism.
Trad at the Castle Rock of Triermain

The sun dipped lower and lower. I fell, again and again.
And then, I just… got it.
Why you should travel solo
I am putting more value into being alone. Not just accidentally, but to actually go out and seek aloneness.

On the 1st, we woke up to quiet. It was still dark when we stumbled around the little cottage, gathering our things and hoping for, finally, a beautiful dawn.
Does my camera get in the way of the adventure?
This week somebody asked me if carrying a camera ruins the experience of adventuring for me.
Don’t feed the deer
You know when a simple comment leads to an adventure you didn’t quite expect?
Why I’m glad I broke my ankle
There’s a lot of reasons I’m angry, annoyed, frustrated, during any given day.
