I love London and I love walking so when Giff Gaff & Best LDN Walks invited me to join their #GiffGaffSnaps photo walk, I pulled on my walking wedges. The two-hour Instagram tour takes in London’s most hashtagged locations so you can #selfie in landmark style. We were also joined by Phil Hibberd, who taught the UK’s very first mobile phone photography course, sharing tips on smartphone … Continue reading #GiffGaffSnaps Instagraming London
The 60s were so ridiculously photogenic and I never tire of looking at old black and white photographs so the current Dennis Hopper, The Lost Album exhibition at the Royal Academy is right up my street. Dennis Hopper was more than a pretty (psychotic) face on the big screen. Lesser known (at least by me) is that he was also a photographer and artist.

I’d like to be in Berlin for this festival. Shame that it ends tomorrow – it seems that it’s an annual event so maybe next year. More pictures and full details about the festival http://festival-of-lights.de/en/ Continue reading Berlin Festival of Lights

How breathtaking are the Kawachi Fuji Gardens in Japan? I think I might cry at the beauty if I were to see this in real life. Mid-April to Mid-May is generally when the wisteria is in bloom and there is an annual wisteria festival at the same time as the more famous cherry blossom. Another place to add to the list. More stunning pictures … Continue reading Breathtaking: Dreamy Flower Tunnel in Japan
