In this episode, I review Travel and Documentary photographer Richard L'Anson's new magnum opus - 'Way Down South'. A massive tome of a book containing the sum of Richard's work from Antarctica, the Falkland Islands, South Shetlands and South Georgia. This was an interesting and thoroughly enjoyable book for me to review, as it's a subject and region near and dear to my heart and my passion for the world's Polar regions. Yesterday, I also released my new short film – Guardians of the Forest....

11.12.2025 - Looking Forward into the 2026 Year

In this episode, I spend some time looking into what is coming up in 2026. Historically, I have done a very long blog post or podcast that is both a retrospective on the current year (the year that was) and a look forward into the new year. This year, I have decided to break it up into two more bite-sized chunks and have two separate podcasts. This episode looks ahead to 2026, with some thoughts on travel, equipment, and photography in general. In other news, I was also appointed an Adobe Com...
