What is Plan B?
The best-laid plans can go awry. It happens to all of us from time to time. You set off to go somewhere, maybe an hour’s drive away, may be further afield for a photo shoot. It may be a place you’ve been to before and you have some particular images in mind to re-shoot or […]
Taking Chances
Do chances come your way? When was the last time you had a chance to take an unusual image and you missed it? Do you recognize chance, photographically speaking? Most of us like to exist in our comfort zones in many walks of life – we are risk averse. Risk is dangerous – things can […]
What’s the Story?
It is said that the camera never lies. In fact it can tell a cruel version of the truth all too clearly – think of all those images you will have seen of politicians, celebrities or other prominent people papped at their worst: asleep inappropriately, yawning, having a bad hair day, eating a bacon sandwich […]
A Valuable Archive
I must start with an apology as it is now a few weeks since I last wrote an entry on this blog. The truth is that I have been acquiring new images at a frantic pace, and that makes the title of this post particularly relevant. Every time you go out and capture a few […]

The clouds lifted
After six days of dense low-lying cloud, above which I sometimes ventured only to find myself in the middle of a cloud sandwich, the weather started to change. There were patches of sun and blue sky on the final two … Continue reading
Uphill Flying
They promised snow (again) overnight – and none appeared. My mind is however on places where there is most definitely snow. The Alps got off to a poor start this winter with very poor snow cover but as I write … Continue reading
One heading up, and three down
Another image taken from a chairlift; this one from the Eya-Sunegga chair in the Rothorn ski area of Zermatt. Being suspended anything up to 50 feet above the ground gives an entirely different, and unique, bird’s-eye perspective of everything going … Continue reading
On the Chair
I’m in Zermatt for a week’s skiing. To avoid having my laptop confiscated by my wife(!), time spent writing posts, and viewing blogs will be limited, so posts this week will of necessity be brief. And I apologize for the … Continue reading
Riding uphill on a Chair
Up-lifts in ski resorts fall into three main types. Drag lifts, Cable Cars and Chairlifts. Drag Lifts (Button, Poma or T-Bar) are a bit of a nightmare for novice skiers until you master the required skills. Drag Lifts simply tow you back … Continue reading
A windy day on the Piste
I’ve just made the final up-front payment for the ski trip to Zermatt next January, so it seemed apt to post an image from the Zermatt ski slopes today. This was taken while riding the Chairlift up to Furggsattel on … Continue reading
