There are some moments in the mountains that will probably stay with you forever, special moments, unsuspecting moments and times where a new achievement has been gained.

One thing that has improved my life for nearly four years is access to mine and my girlfriends (Sarah), VW T5 Campervan. Campervan’s are something that go hand in hand with photography, they allow us to go places on a whim and stay at the foot of photographic viewpoints making logistics so much easier. Many … Read more
