Photo: Pints of Guinness at TBEX Dublin.  October 2013 It’s been one of my goals in the last year or so to try and figure out where I actually fit in in this world.  Am I a photographer that blogs?  Or am I a blogger that takes better than average photos? Or something somewhere in-between?  […]

Best Photos of 2013

The following are my favorite images of the year.  Overall, 2013 was a year of ups and downs for me and I was often struggling to come up with inspiration.  I seemed to run into more than my usual amount of bad weather, especially starting off the year on Scotland’s Outer Hebrides.  But in turn, […]
