Photo Expeditions and Workshops: Kanchanaburi
This is perhaps the time of year when we begin to take stock, to review what we’ve achieved in the preceding months and to begin planning for the year ahead. It’s very convenient that our time should be divided into such tidy blocks. Twelve months, fifty two weeks, three hundred and sixty five days; it’s [...]
Home from Bhutan. And now it’s time to give thanks.
I’m home in Bangkok, savouring the memories of the last two weeks in Bhutan. I was blessed with the company of a delightful group of photographers who made the trip memorable for all the right reasons. There are naturally some concerns when you start to organise a trip of this nature, it’s two weeks in [...]
Bangkok Photo School: November Classes Announced
We announced our November schedule of classes at the Bangkok Photo School this afternoon and the response has exceeded our expectations. We will be running three classes on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings. There will be two ‘Beginners’ courses for those new to photography and an ‘Intermediate’ course for photographers with more experience. Each course will [...]
Free Desktop Wallpaper for September 2009: Bhutan Tsechu
The free desktop wallpaper for September comes from Wangdue Phodrang Dzong in Bhutan and shows a scene from the annual tsechu (festival) that takes place there every autumn. September brings with it great excitement as I’ll be leading a group of ten photographers on an expedition to photograph in Bhutan this month. We hope to [...]

Bangkok Photo Walk 2009: Chinatown
If you ever wanted proof that photography is a popular pastime in Thailand then you should come along to Bangkok’s Chinatown on Saturday when not one, not two, but three Photo Walks will all conclude at the same location. Lek & Rut’s Seafood Restaurant will play host to up to 150 photographers. The mind boggles.
For [...]
Maintaining the Yin and Yang
Demand for my Bangkok photo workshops has grown quickly this year and the past week has found me spending a total of four and a half days showing other photographers some of what I consider to be the city’s more photogenic locations. We tend to stay largely off the tourist trail, photographing in places which [...]
Bangkok Photo School: Summer Term Photos
The summer classes of the Bangkok Photo School have recently concluded. We taught our Foundation I and Experienced courses to over thirty students for five weeks. Each course included a field-trip, which is proving to be a highlight of the classes. It’s always good to spend the time in company of enthusiastic people, better still [...]
AWOL
Bet you thought I’d run away. Or perhaps that I was trapped beneath a heavy bookcase and unable to reach my keyboard. Or, worse still, that I just didn’t care about you any more. The truth is that I’ve been a tad busy and unable to find the time to conjure up the enchanting mix [...]
Mae Klong, Cha’Am and Hua Hin
I managed to escape for a day last week whilst scouting out possible locations for a forthcoming Photo School weekend workshop and headed towards Hua Hin, stopping at a variety of potential photo hot spots along the way. I’ve picked out a few images from the day, which proved to be great fun.
Standing in a [...]
Bangkok Insider Workshop Feedback
I’ve enjoyed leading several photo workshops recently and they’re invariably a pleasure. I’m sure that I get as much from our forays around Pak Klong Talaat and Chinatown as the participants do. Matt Brandon recently wrote a lovely post about how watching his daughter take photos had inspired him and I find that something similar [...]
Bangkok Photo School: Student Slideshows
Following on from yesterday’s post concluding our Spring Bangkok Photo School courses, here are two slideshows featuring the students and their work.
There was, as you’ll see, a wide range of subjects appearing in our homework review each week. This was an introductory course where we concentrated on the basic photographic principles but also tried to [...]
Free Desktop Wallpaper: April 2009 & Bangkok Photo School
Gracious, I’ve been away from the blog for too long. I’ve been busy. That’s my excuse. You believe me, right? Anyway, apologies for the hiatus. I was thinking of you. Honest!
Firstly, your free desktop wallpaper for April comes from the island of Koh Samet in Thailand. It was shot at dawn from a small beach [...]
Bhutan Photo Expedition 2009
I’m excited to announce a group photo tour to Bhutan later this year. I will be hosting a photo expedition during which we’ll photograph the autumn tsechus (festivals).
Our group will convene in Bhutan at the end of September for a two-week tour, visiting some of the most colourful and lively festival celebrations in the country. [...]

Bangkok Insider Photo Workshop
I had a really nice day yesterday, wandering through some of my favourite Bangkok photo haunts during a Bangkok Insider Photo Tour. The Pak Klong Talat market has become a much-loved location and I can never resist a visit there but I really appreciated the market traders’ gentle generosity even more than usual yesterday.
I had [...]
Bangkok Photo School: Open for business
I mentioned at the end of 2008 that I’ve been working on a number of exciting projects for ‘09 and I’m pleased to be able to announce the first of those already. What a great start to the year! I’m launching a series of photographic classes under the umbrella of the Bangkok Photo School.
I will [...]
