A VERY Smelly Ram…
I guess at one level a Ram’s life is a very easy one. Eat, Breath and F**K. That would seem to be their lot. Most of the time they hang around with other rams being, well, rams. I came across … Continue reading

A question for the philosophers out there – When is a photographic image created? I’m really not sure what the answer to this is. As I have mentioned I am currently working on a photographic project called Gartree Explored. This … Continue reading

Another day…another wonderlust… Yesterday found our intrepid explorers once more braving the high country to the east. Here they encountered such marvels as great coffee shops and cafes, farmers going about their business and lots and lots of fresh air. … Continue reading
