Times Square: Photo of the Week
TweetDuring my time in New York City this past month the obvious became clear to me: The Big Apple is a photographer’s dream. There are just so many great locations for taking pictures. Times Square, obviously, is one of them. There is just so much going on in the square that it almost sends the [...]
Take the Road to Mandalay – A Guest Post

The Galapagos Islands in Black and White
TweetThe Galapagos Islands are such a colourful place. Thus, what I’m about to present to you is almost a crime. I am about to show you the Galapagos Islands in black and white. Sure, there are some photos where I’ve left some selected colour in the image, but for the most part these were all [...]

Is ‘free’ travel insurance all it’s cracked up to be?
Tweet It certainly seems like a good deal at first: sign up for a premium bank account or credit card deal and get benefits like travel insurance thrown into the deal. Don’t be swayed just yet though; it always pays to read the small print so that you can be fully informed while weighing up [...]
