York, England – Another Fascinating Surprise
Blog: Hole In The Donut - 18 August 2011
Aloof, humorless Brits; dingy gray cities and streets choked with tourists – that’s what I expected to find in the UK.

Going Back To Waterloo Lake
Blog: Quillcards - 26 March 2011
Back To Waterloo Lake I have been making some loose panoramas, including some of Waterloo Lake in Roundhay Park, Leeds. I call them ‘loose’ panoramas because of how I shoot them. Articles and tutorials on how to make panoramas by blending a number of photographs say you should place your camera on a tripod. Then [...]Going Back To Waterloo Lake is a post from the Quillcards Blog

Lady in Leeds
Blog: A Lady in London - 1 February 2010
Today I took the fastest business trip of my life.

After a bit of indecision, I bought the tickets, agreed to hold the meeting with the client at the train station, and hoped for a delay-free train trip.
