Travel Photography

In June 2006, after saving for what seemed like a lifetime, my better half and I took a year out and went round the world. We took a laptop and a couple of digital SLRs. Michelle and I had a lot of fun pretending to be a travel journalists snapping and tapping away.  We went to some amazing places with huge wow factor, recharged our batteries and came back inspired ready to take on the demands of London life again. You can see all the words and pictures (and believe me there are a lot of them) in this section.

We did the first three months in South East Asia. Starting in Bangkok then on northern Thailand and on to Laos. From there Cambodia and then Vietnam. Southern Thailand and Malaysia to finish the first the first quarter. Three Months in Australia was followed by a quick trip to Fiji then two months in New Zealand. The South pacific took us to Easter Island and the Galapagos and the final Three months were in South America.
