About

I work in the world of online, have a passion for photography, and am never happier than when I'm spending time with my wife-to-be and doing a spot of gardening.

This blog is a collection of writing, thoughts, photos and interesting finds - loosely themed around photography, my travels, skiing and the snow, nature, business and online, music, art and design.

One day I'd like to write a book, learn to whittle a piece of wood, and re-gain my ability to speak French.

My other personal projects include Bootpack Photo Co. and Jerseygr.am.
