So, last weekend I was lucky enough to be one of the ten participants in Calvin Hollywood’s ‘Calvinized’ workshop, delivered for the first time in English. I’ve long admired his work, so the opportunity to not only meet him, but to learn from and interact with him as part of such an intimate group was [...]
Steve Jobs was a man who changed the way that many of us work and communicate, in an exciting way.

The date for Scott Kelby’s Worldwide Photo Walk was announced today as being 24th July!
I will again be hosting the walk here in Bonn, Germany, and would love for those of you in the area to sign up and join me. For those of you in different areas, you can check to see if there is a walk near you. If not, then perhaps you might like to consider applying to host one, yourself?
I received an interesting email today from one of my blog subscribers, relating to her being too shy to try her hand at street photography. Taking photographs on the street can yield some very satisfying results. If you look around you, you’ll see small stories happening all around you
