“I’m flying.” There are no dull moments when Priscilla and Sacha are together.

My favourite photography genre is candid. I like pictures that are unique combinations of events, feelings, and places. While a beautiful landscape can be re-visited and a portrait re-created, a moment remains truly unique.

Tour Montparnasse in Paris
Paris is remarkable for its relatively few tall structures, which makes Tour Montparnasse even more spectacular in its isolated position.

I thought I wouldn’t enjoy wandering in a strange city, but I quite liked our Parisian strolls. We might even go back.

Old door of Saint-Michael's Church in Basingstoke, UK
The antique door of a side entrance at Saint Michael’s Church shows its age.

Saint Michael’s Church is opposite Festival Place shopping centre in Basingstoke, Hampshire. Besides its age the church is interesting in that it bears the scars of aerial bombing by the Germans in their attempt to destroy a nearby ammunitions factory during World War II. Next to the church stands a former school. On the outside walls there are still deep marks left by pupils who used the bricks to sharpen their slate pencils.
