I’m not quite sure why articles like this make me feel as introspective as they do. The fact is, time, place and personality alone are sufficient to produce radically different photographs.

Road trip. What images the words conjure. Places seen, things spotted and mental notes made for next time. Photo opportunities. This one had a simple genesis; a wedding in Johannesburg. And, rather than fly up and back from Cape Town, we opted to treat ourselves a bit; drive a very indirect route up the west […]
