Autumn is my favourite time of year for photography and each year (since I started taking photos) I like to spend a week or so in the South Island to try and catch the beautiful colours. This year I decided to spend some time in Tekapo, Twizel, and Wanaka and was rewarded with some beautiful [...]

When people mention Thailand, some of the images that come to mind are the postcard photos of beaches, the water festival ‘Songkran,’ or their favorite Thai food.

So, we had booked ahead months ago for my real birthday present which was to happen when we were in Kuala Lumpur. We got tickets to see the Liverpool vs Malaysia XI pre-season match at the Bukit Jalil national stadium. We were lucky that the match was held when we were planning to be in Kuala [...]
