In an earlier post I wrote about my reservations concerning many of the photo apps for the iPhone. I won’t repeat what I’ve already said and most of them still remind me of adolescents all dressing up the same to show how unique they are. … Read More →

Olympus EPL1- final round-up (maybe)…
I’ve been very busy photographing and filming on foreign assignments and have only just got around to updating my website with work from Russia and Haiti. Doing that reminded me I had some EPL1 pictures from Saint Petersburg that might be worth sharing. These are … Read More →
