Kings Canyon is part of the Watarrka National Park, home to the Luritja Aboriginal people, in the Northern Territory, Australia. Part of the gorge is a sacred Aboriginal site and you are discouraged from leaving the walking tracks. The easiest and best way to get there is by car via the sealed Lasseter Highway. It’s […]

If you’re vaguely familiar with karate, you’ll know that it is taught through a set of very distinct exercises. Kihon are basic movements, Kumite is a sort of sparring, and there are many more. Central among those are kata and bunkai. Kata are forms, sets of movements you repeat over and over again to memorise […]

I keep returning to Scandinavia, often to Stockholm, and enjoy walking through its urban expanse, finding photos amidst both crowds and quiet. I find during summer, when the days grow long, it can become something of an un-destination as areas empty out a bit. For example, Helsinki becomes somewhat of a ghost town as people […]

Minuscule pleasures. I owe this notion to Philippe Delerm’s book: “The first gulp of beer and other minuscule pleasures”.

The Palouse region of southeastern Washington State is a true un-destination, as well as being a photographer’s dream. Reminiscent of a gentler time, it is a unique and solitary landscape where zephyr winds scatter clouds across the blue sky, causing shadows to dance and play amongst the hills. The vast rolling hills of wheat & […]

900 posts. In today’s goldfish-attention-span media industry, that’s a fraction of a second of content. On instagram alone, all the photographs published on DS since day one represent less than 10 seconds. Still, as non-monetized photo blogs go, we can probably call it a good run and look proudly at the past. The time, however, […]

Last week, my wife, daughter and I went out for an evening walk in a nearby seaside village that hosts night markets during the summer months. Having recently tested the Hassy X1D on fast action shooting, I wondered how it would fare in low light. Badly, is the answer. But what stuck with me most […]

“Half of Hackney talks to itself.” I’m waiting for a bus at the stop outside our local Lidl. This is the considered opinion of the lady next to me in the bus shelter. We’ve both been watching the antics of a man and a woman, also waiting for a bus, but passing the time by […]
