Impulse To Keep Looking

photos from west london Impulse To Keep Looking pictures

“I’ve always been interested in photography and I took it a little more seriously a few years ago when digital cameras allowed a novice to enter the world without a lot of knowledge on developing. The cost was also a lot cheaper as learning by doing – taking hundreds of images at different settings – didn’t cost rolls and rolls of film.

I started a blog in order to get feedback from readers and, more importantly, to push myself to capture more images. The challenge has worked wonders and I’m always looking for something to shoot. I travel a lot for work, so I take my camera with me all over the world.

From simple everyday life, to walks with my kids, to holidays and business trips. I’ve kept a diary that has developed a life of its own and it’s made me appreciate other blogs at a different level.

The content on my blog is suitable for all ages, and I try to keep the subject positive in most cases to bring a smile to the reader’s face.”
