When I was seven years old, my parents took me along on my father’s business trip to Europe. I was a curious, well-behaved child, and so I was gifted with something to keep me busy – my first camera. I remember it well: 110mm, rectangular and bright yellow, with film cartridges shaped like dumbbells that were very easy to use.
It became my self-appointed task to record the trip on film, and so a hobby was born. I have been fortunate enough over the years to live in two of the most beautiful parts of the world I can think of – New England and Scotland – and my affinity for weathered stone was only confirmed during my years studying medieval history.
Photos have been my way of capturing a moment of history on film, and this blog is my way to share this love – for castles, cathedrals, stunning views and charming streets, the uniqueness of nature, and the many amazing walks and hikes I have taken in pursuit of these views.
Follow me on Instagram for some on-the ground pics, and I’ll post here as often as I can.
