Back for Christmas …
December 19th, 2012
Home after a great month in Alaska, it was snot-freezingly cold (even by Alaskan standards) for much of the time, which meant for some beautiful images. Lots of eagles, ravens, coyote and even lynx. I’ll keep this brief as I’ve got a huge pile of prezzies to wrap, here are some photo’s, it’s lovely to […] Read more »

November 19th, 2012
I’m off to Alaska for the 4th and final time of the year. This time for the BBC Natural History Unit’s Survival series. We’re going to Haines to film Bald eagles – it’s a great location and the perfect place to round off a very busy year of filming. While I’m away Animal Planet USA […] Read more »
Gibson ES175 restoration finished
November 12th, 2012
I found this rather forlorn looking Gibson ES175 on E-bay a few months ago. I’ve been really interested in this particular model of guitar for years.

Capture the flag, a treasure hunt and lots of cake and mud. I’m off to Brazil later today, filming […] Read more »

Wild Dogs
July 31st, 2012
After the best part of 9 weeks away from home I’m finally back, and we’re all very much due a holiday. We had a fantastic four weeks in Zambia with the Wild Dogs, they have always been one of my favourite species and to get to spend such a long period of time with them […] Read more »
