Croatia

simon — Sat, 10 Nov 2012 08:34:47 +0000

Early this year I traveled with a fellow photographer to Croatia. Croatia in Central Europe and once part of the Roman Empire is still heavily influenced by Italy which is just across the Adriatic Sea. The country has such a diverse range of landscape, architecture and culture to photograph, mountains, seascapes, lakes, islands, cities, the almost Venetian Istria peninsula and even a standing Roman Colosseum.

The last time I was in Croatia was in 1996 I was in the Army at the end of a tour of duty in Bosnia.

Morocco

With the success we have had in the last decade, I never really took the time out to relax and enjoy photography the way that I used to before it became a profession and to be honest when I did get some time off the last thing that I wanted to do was take yet more photographs. In 2011 I had to close our Studio due to health issues and have done very little work orientated photography since. Towards the end of 2011 a friend and fellow photographer invited me on a trip to Morocco, which then suddenly became 6 of us (all photographers).

We landed at Marrakesh and then spent 9 days traveling to the desert then up through the Atlas Mountains to Fez. Thousands of amazing images were taken in every kind of environment from desert sun to mountain snow.

Wenches In Trenches

In October a group of women did a 21 mile sponsored walk in aid of The Soldiers Charity in the Somme region of France entitled ‘Wenches in Trenches’. Following the frontline held by British troops in World War I, the walk started in the town of Albert and the ladies called at British cemeteries and memorials along the route.

The walk ended with a short ceremony at The Thiepval Memorial to the Missing of the Somme, a major war memorial to the 72,195 missing British and Commonwealth men who died in the Battle of the Somme and who have no known grave. Cpl Andy Reid who was severely injured in Afghanistan in 2009 and as a result is a triple amputee laid a wreath at the final memorial.

Surf Action Polzeath Camp

I know so many surfers, professionals, champions, warm weather occasional’s, enthusiastic surf bums and those that do it just because. In the years that I have been a photographer I have never really had an interest to photograph surfing. Its only because of my recent involvement with the charity Surf Action that I have started to do it and today was my first time in the water with a waterproof housing. I spent a couple of hours in the water with a group of Royal Marines who were surfing with Surf Action at Polzeath in Cornwall.
