This is where I like to share my photography, my monthly newsletters, and the creative pursuits of others that inspire and excite me. But also a place to share humour and ideas, outrage and ecstasy at what happens here in my world and out there in everyone else's.

Tree of Life, Bahrain, 2011

I was in Bahrain just before it all went pear shaped in early 2011. In the middle of the country is the Tree of Life which, given the fact that there is a tree growing in the middle of a desert, is a bit of a tourist attraction. However, no tourist was interested in ice cream the day I was there, and I distinctly recall the vendor loudly shutting up shop and tearing off (as fast as an ice cream van can) into the distance, to who knows where.
