    A new year is upon us. 2022 arrived not so much with a bang more of a whimper. Covid is still influencing what we can and can’t do. Having said this. It does not prevent us from doing different things and this is where planning comes in. Planning is the one thing that we all forget to do. This is not the minutiae but the grand scheme. Where will I go, stay, and photograph over the coming year? So, the maps have come...

  I have come, somewhat reluctantly, to the conclusion that there is something missing from my photography. I am not sure what, but there is a vital part missing.
