It’s taken me over a month to get to looking at the pictures from Christmas in Bali. Finally I got a lazy Sunday morning to go through them all. It’s a beautiful place and in between rain showers we got a chance to wander the countryside in the Ubud region. Here are a selection of …

As I do most Januarys, I spent a few days in Devonshire. Here are a couple of pictures from the trip. Dartmoor ponies roam wild near Haytor. The rolling hills of the South Hams Sunset over the open fields of the South Hams. Light breaks through the clouds over Dartmoor, viewed from the top of …

2011 was my first full year in Asia and with so many new and exciting places to visit, this year’s Best Of list comes from a more diverse set of geographies than ever before, combined with a number of images from an on-going Hong Kong Street Photography project.
