I’ve been terrible at updating the blog recently so much for my new year’s resolution! My excuse though is that I’ve been busy trying to sort out the backlog of video editing which I’m trying to get through. Part 2 of my Philippines trip will be posted when I finish the video for the lovely [...]
I’ve been back again to the Philippines for another multimedia workshop and the last training session for the Davao Project.

Once a month I get to indulge and photograph food at a top Bejing restaurant for an exclusive mobile phone company. It’s one of the highlights of my month and something I really look forward to as I’m a huge foodie (my gf and I have food blog here) This month I headed to the [...]

This is a video project I’ve been working on and off for over a year. Clear skies are something of a rarity in Beijing so I had to be patient. I love Beijing it’s a fascinating place ever since I first came here in 2005 I couldn’t believe how much was changing and the pace [...]
