Edinburgh Fringe Brain Puddle
I’ve spent today so far hanging out at my accommodation because yesterday I slipped on the cobbled streets of Edinburgh and hurt my right foot. This is my fourth day at the Fringe. I’m pretty devastated. Since arriving I’ve seen so many amazing things. I’ve been filling my brain with all sorts of art and…

Oh look, Amsterdam!
Hullo dear readers! I have now been in Amsterdam for about 10 days staying with some of my beautiful friends who moved here about two years ago. So far I have touristed thoroughly, in addition to eating all the things, sitting with some neighbours and pretending I understood what they were saying (and mostly getting…

Oh India!
Part of me wants to open this post by saying I’m sorry for not posting. But I’m not going to. The reason I’ve been uncharacteristically quiet recently is because I went to India, then I moved house and started back full-time at uni as soon as I got back. I’ve been busy, I suppose you…

USA – Food
As the fourth in my instalments of themed photos from my trip, I present FOOD. Yes I was one of those people who whipped out the DSLR at restaurants and cafes and fast food stops, and you know what? I don’t care! I was on holiday and I wanted photos of what I ate. I…

USA – Arty
The third in my series of photo essays from my travels in the USA. I like to think of these as the ‘arty’ shots; here I put less emphasis on what the photo is of, and more emphasis on the aesthetically pleasing elements captured in the image. Given this, I’m not going to tell you…

USA – Urban Decay
In the spirit of thematically grouping my photos from my travels, I now present to you photo essay number two: Urban Decay. This sign was on the wall of a public housing building in uptown New York. I found it fascinating for two reasons, firstly because it speaks to a cold war heritage that we…
