Walkabout with Alex

Self-portrait at the end of the trip that started it all, the unbelievable 3 month paddle up the coast of Angola in early 2004.

After my 2010 trip to the Solomon Islands and coming back with a treasure trove full of pictures I decided that it was time not just to take pictures but actually to start doing something with them. Here is my first attempt to share them via my own little space on the Web. For the past 3 years and a bit I have developed a healthy passion for photography and have joined the new army of picture snappers that roam this planet in search of the perfect shot. No longer the exclusive domain of the professional photographer, the perfect shot is out there somewhere and judging from the proliferation of superb material on the net, quite a few people have come very close in capturing it. On this page you can follow me on my quest to make my next shot better than my last one...

This site is now one year old but continues to be a work in progress, I make changes whenever I find the time. I have a truck load of pictures posted on my Picasa page but my aim is still to move all of those pictures to this location. It will take time so please come back from time to time to see what's new. I hope you enjoy your virtual visit!
