welcome to my BLOG

Welcome to the Blog, I Suppose
A place for thoughts, tangents, and the occasional lens cap in a blender.

Well, here we are.

The inaugural blog post. A sacred digital ritual where photographers traditionally promise to post weekly, then vanish mysteriously after two entries and a sponsored review of a camera bag shaped like a badger.

But not here. Oh no.

This corner of the internet isn’t for gear reviews, pixel peeping, or obsessive comparisons of lens sharpness at f/2.8. Frankly, if that’s what you’re after, you’re in the wrong shed.

This blog is for thoughts. Musings. The beautiful, baffling mess of photography. The bits no one talks about because they don’t fit neatly into a tutorial or hashtag. Like the feeling when someone relaxes for half a second and everything shifts. Or when a photo you took by accident says more than the one you planned for six weeks with a mood board and a decaf oat latte.

There might be reflections on process. Rants about the myth of perfection. The occasional philosophical swerve into topics like: what exactly is a portrait if nobody knows who they are anyway? Or: if a flash fires in a studio and no one's pretending to be confident, does it make a sound?

Expect Hunter S. Thompson energy on very little sleep. Expect surreal metaphors and some wobbly attempts at truth. Expect a complete absence of affiliate links, unless I start recommending tripod heads made of jelly.

In short: this blog is for people who like photography but don’t want to talk about gear all day. It’s for the quiet, the strange, the tender, the raw. It’s for those of us who take pictures not to capture anything, but to lose ourselves a bit and see what comes back.

Come along if you fancy. No promises, no schedules. Just whatever spills out next.

The shutter’s open.
