Hiking the ‘W circuit’ at Torres del Paine, Patagonia
TL;DR; We went for a walk. It was very nice. For 3 years we’ve been talking about hiking in Torres del Paine, with the sole purpose of capturing ‘that pic’. The reasons for not going sooner have been various but were led by the simple fact that we were intimidated by the idea of spending…

Tutorial: Burning the Jeep
With a friend heading in to town for the weekend, we started planning our most elaborate burn shot yet, we wanted to surround our Jeep with fire and smoke. The fire was the easy part, we’re getting quite good at that. We simply took the fire whip idea (tutorial here) and made a 9 foot…

Review (Fuji X-Pro1): Our Fuji X-Pro1 weekend in Calistoga
Ah Calistoga, home of the wine country, heart of Napa. Place where I drank beer. Oops. It’s a truly magnificent area. You should visit. We spent the weekend hiking with the new FujiFilm X-Pro1 brick.

Tumeric Balloon Pop – Published Picture!
Once in a while, hopefully like everyone else (I’m not freak, honest Ma!), I ego surf. And today I discovered that my photo of a water balloon going pop is featured in Business Insider. I’m both very happy and very sad. Happy that they rate my picture. Sad the buggers don’t pay (or generate link-backs).…
