Images of England and Wales
Looking through my photos taken over the last year or so, reminds me what a great and varied place the UK is for the photographer. I have photographed a wide range of subjects all over the country, and I am pleased to show you a small selection of my favourites, stretching from South West Wales, across to Essex and East Anglia, in the east of England, and up to Northumberland in the North East of England.

The Avenues
There is a corner of Hull like no other. We call it the Avenues, and it is a very special place, a warren of streets where I can lose myself. Urban, Victorian, Bohemian. A postcode that means the world. A corner of the Land of Green Ginger that is forever Saturday morning. It is where Yorkshire meets the world, vibrant, youthful and diverse. The university fuels it with energy, and the nineteenth century tempers the air, a riot of red brick and yellow, of stone and wood. As the name hints, it is an area of grid-like avenues, an area where symmetry rules. Yet each villa is unique, grand and overly mature; hints of genteel decay, overgrown in parts, bald in others. There is a smell I associate with the area, a doughy scent from the bread factory and a mulchy tang of dampness, of freshly roasted coffee and pancakes.

What Makes Bali the Greatest Destination on Earth?
Take a look into the photo-journal of Daron Bandeira as he ventures into Bali – the greatest destination on Earth. When someone says 'Bali,' what do you see? The Indonesian province has become synonymous with mile-long stretches of white sand, thick hills of lush green jungle, and rugged volcanic hillsides – all together crafting some of the most breathtaking views that the Earth has to offer. With sights like these and a reputation so high, it is easy to understand why Bali walked away as the most popular holiday destination in 2017, and was even crowned the 'greatest destination on Earth' by TripAdvisor.

Bermuda Cruise Part 2
This morning was our first sighting of land. After sleeping in and having breakfast in the Garden Cafe, we went out on deck to get our first glimpse of Bermuda. Since we would not be able to get off the ship until one o’clock, Mom and I looked for something to do until then. We decided to go to the Aqua Dining Room for an art auction. Since we were there early, we checked out the art and sipped on mimosa. We did not bid on anything during the auction because most of the lots were too expensive, but there plenty of pieces that we liked. My favorites were the paintings by an artist named Linda Le Kinff, whose elongated forms and bright, vivid colors were compared to Matisse and Modigliani. For attending the auction, we received a free print.

Comfort Suites Edinboro Pennsylvania Review (Two Queen Bed Jacuzzi Suite)
The room was medium size with an average layout but this was probably one of the smaller suites I've stayed in. The overall appearance is rather dated. I felt like I was stepping into the late 70s or early 80s.

Girl at the Edge of Death
Fear turns you inside out. Like an invisible, open hand, it reaches out towards you from the unknown. We all have fears, and most of us hide them as far away as possible. Our fears are so defining and embedded in our character and our past, that it isn’t until we know someone well that we even dare to approach the question. No one ever asks about fears as an icebreaker, or during small talk (but why the hell not?).

Are You Ready To Be Committed?
Nestled in The foothills of a little town known as Weston, WV, there exists a place brimming with history. It's a place of sadness, madness, and the macabre. If you are a lover of history, this is a place to visit. If you are a lover of the paranormal like I am, this is a place to visit frequently. No two visits are ever the same because you learn more each time you visit. The money that is charged for these tours, goes directly into this historic landmark, and that is visible to you also. (Not sure about you, but I like seeing where my money is going.)

Colonial Williamsburg
When you think of the Revolutionary War and the colonies fight for freedom, what cities come to your mind? Most people go straight to Philadelphia, Boston, and even New York City. However, hidden on the eastern coast of Virginia, right by the very spot where the colonies began their foundation in Jamestown lies the little town of Williamsburg, Virginia. Named after King William III of England when the state capital was moved from Jamestown in 1699, today Williamsburg is a bustling city with theme parks and history all around. No words can describe the magic you feel while there, I'd compare it to that childish excitement you get when going to Disney World for the first time. However, few people seem to realize what a crucial role that this small-ish city seemed to play in the founding of our nation.

Against All Odds: Tandeka's Story
The Sun beamed and I could feel the hard heat on the back of my neck. The grass shuffled, and we all stood there, quite still, quite petrified, before a beast we knew could tear our heads off in a matter of seconds. It isn’t easy to explain how, as I stood there knowing how deadly her fangs piercing on my skin would be, I felt no impulse to run as fast as I could. All I wanted was to stand there, looking at her for as long as I could, and take in the beauty of her mere existence. As I knelt before her, I felt alone. In my head, the others disappeared, and I felt her gaze upon me.
