Bristol at Night
Sometimes you take a photograph that turns out not quite as intended, yet offers unexpected pleasures. When I recently visited my daughter and her husband in Bristol, we went out to dinner in Clifton. It was a warm, dry evening, so we decided to walk home, following a route that went down Constitution Hill. I […] more…
Brief Encounters in Timor Leste
When visiting other countries it is only courteous to respect local people and ask their permission before taking their photographs, and to recognise that in many places the majority simply do not want to be photographed.

Rick’s Café, Casablanca: You Must Remember This…
One of the highlights of my visit to Casablanca in 2016 was a visit to Rick’s Café, a recreation of the bar made famous by Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman in the 1942 film, Casablanca. Recreation is an accurate word: the film was made almost entirely in a Hollywood lot and the actual bar the […] more…
