I wander through life looking for adventure and mischief. I try not to take myself too seriously, seeking out the fun and romance in everything I do. This is why I get so giddy around happy people!
I could list my photography accolades here, or talk your ear off about my equipment but you’d be asleep within seconds, so INSTEAD I’ll tell you all about a few of my favourite things (feel free to sing this Sound of Music-style in your head) and a few weird things about me:
1. I’m a geek. Like, long before it was cool. Obviously, I’m a huge Star Wars fan (who isn’t?! sorry, Trekkies!). I try playing the accordion (poorly). My heroes are Anthony Bourdain, Dave Gorman, John Oliver, and Brian May. If I could marry one celebrity, it would be Weird Al Yankovic.

3. I quite like a bit of DIY and am pretty good at plumbing.
4. I used to be in The Black Watch. No, not ‘The Night’s Watch’ (although that would have been awesome), The Black Watch the infantry battalion of the Royal Regiment of Scotland. I’m a trained sharpshooter, so I can make bad jokes about shooting sharp photos (see, it’s a good thing you’re not hiring me for my repartee).
6. Here’s another doozie: I used to program robots for NASA in Houston.
7. I’m a pretty good skier. I was a downhill racer, and still teach sometimes.
8. If I could pick only one place to spend my life, it would be Wellington, NZ.
I don’t wander alone. This is Robert, my partner in mischief. Robert’s a photographer too, and a really, really good one at that. We travel the world together, and I’d like to think he hangs around because I’m great company, but I suspect he’s mostly in it for the free food.
based in bonnie scotland,
but happy to cross the border!
