I recently started a community driven vegetarian blog called Veggie Buntch. The idea to start something like this has been brewing for some time, and after many long discussions with my partner, Alex, who is the person behind the development of the site, we finally managed to get off our lazy bums and get something up and running.
This is a selection of images that I have taken over the last year. What I often find is that I take images that I really like, but they end up lying hidden on an external harddrive and never see the light of day. So, I am going to start going through old (and new)

This is a selection of some impromptu portraits of friends. I made use of an external flash and played around with some interesting post processing options after the fact. I quite enjoyed the quality of colour and light that I ended up with.
My brother and my nephew came to visit last weekend. At this age, he is simply too cute and I couldn’t help taking a few pics. These were my favourites.
These are a few of the portrait shots from my journey in India. The first two shots are taken in a slum in Delhi, home to a large artist’s colony. Theirs is a tough story, which I plan on sharing soon. The third shot is taken in Mumbai at a small construction stall in a

After 20 hours on the train, we finally arrived at Ajmer station. To get to Pushkar, you have to take either a taxi or a local bus. On leaving the station, we were immediately hounded by taxi drivers trying to get us to drive direct with them and rickshaw drivers asking for exorbitant amounts of
