I always have a camera but struggle to post. I think once a trip starts, I focus hard on documenting it but pretty quickly all of that breaks down and I end up living in the day to day (which is probably a good thing, honestly).

I spent another six months travelling this year so I’ve only added to my backlog of photos that never see the light of day. That’s the thing with photography these days - it’s all digital so unless you present it in a digital format (i.e. social media) or make physical prints (nobody has space for 1,000 photos on their wall), they just kind of sit on your computer.

I’ll keep trying to post more and see what happens. At this point, I’ve got a ton of photos edited but nowhere to put them so I’ll just plan on putting them here!

For now, I’ll focus on highlighting one of my favourite countries - Vietnam 🇻🇳

Vietnam has a way of drawing me back, and Hoi An is the heart of it all. The people here are what make this place come alive.

The photos here are of everyday people - the ones who give this place its pulse. There’s no grand story behind them, just life happening. And honestly, that’s enough to keep me coming back.

Earlier this year, I spent time in Vietnam photographing families and children who are receiving ongoing support from Children's Education Foundation Vietnam CEF). CEF is a small yet hugely impactful grassroots organization which works to break the poverty cycle by helping girls from impoverished or marginalized communities complete school or receive further education or training, helping not just the young women, but also succeeding generations and their communities to have the possibility of a better life with more choice.

Through this article and series of photographs, I aim to provide insight into not only the everyday struggles these families face together, but also celebrate their resilience and ability to find happiness in the face of hardship.

A gateway to Vancouver Island's illustrious capital region, Sidney hosts the heart of Saanich in its serene seaside charm and irresistible farm-to-table character. From its bustling boardwalk, majestic views of the Olympic and Cascade mountain ranges frame its gulf island oceanscape. While its natural beauty and unspoilt charm will draw you in, its vibrant and ever-evolving community will keep you coming back to the quaint coastal town of Sidney by the Sea.

Shrieking gulls and castle keeps signal safe harbour along England's eastern shores. As the midday sun breaks through overcast skies, the historical seaside town of Whitby comes to life, offering a cascading scene of English infrastructure nestled under the cliffs atop which the ruins of Whitby's famous abby rests.

As green meadows fade and fellside fields give way to the barren expanses of Yorkshire's moorland, a ruined building slowly crumbles back into the earth from whence it came - a testament to the enduring cycle of life and rebirth that defines the beauty of England's ancient dales.

As dusk settles and the evening sun dips below the horizon, a serene sea scene lulls the fishermen of Phu Quoc to a restful respite. Another early morning awaits, another day of sailing and net casting before returning back to their families with, what they hope, is a successful day's efforts.

Sheer cliffs of white limestone line the periphery of England's southern coast. As waves awash their base, slowly eroding their ever-imposing edificial presence, rolling green pasture blankets their crest as two unknown figures meander southwards in pursuit of the sun.

It was an absolute honour to be able to return to Saudi Arabia. I grew up in Dhahran but the country has changed so much since we left 15 years ago that it's like a whole new place. Beautiful as always though and, of course, the warm Saudi hospitality we received was second to none! Here are some pics I took along the way.

An elderly woman seeds her rice paddy in central Vietnam. Riding around rice fields on a scooter with a camera in hand is one of my favourite things to do when visiting this country!

When night falls on Kanazawa’s Higashi Chaya district, the bustling crowds of visitors disperse and the lantern-lined laneways once again belong solely to the residents of this historic and quintessentially Japanese entertainment quarter.
