New gallery: Canal boating images

Images from a week traipsing the canals between Stratford-upon-Avon and Oxford are now online at this link.

Here’s a selection of some of these. You can also click here for a review of “One Man and a Narrowboat: Slowing Down Time on England’s Waterways”; a book I read while cruising the waterways.

Camino galleries now online

Images from my recent weeks walking the Camino Frances to Santiago de Compostela have now been added to the Visited Planet database. All are now available through the Spain page (there are numerous galleries here numbering days 3-14. Days 1-2 were in France and available through this page).

I’ve been making regular posts to Facebook of some of my favourite images and reflections of the journey. If you’ve missed those please go to https://www.facebook.com/VisitedPlanetphotojournalism and look for the hashtag #camino on all the posts (or click on photos and you’ll see all images I’ve uploaded recently, many of which are from the camino).

However here are some of these posted below.

“This hill, though high, I covet to ascend; The difficulty will not me offend. For I perceive the way to life lies here. Come, pluck up, heart; let's neither faint nor fear. Better, though difficult, the right way to go, Than wrong, though easy, where the end is woe.” ― John Bunyan, The Pilgrim's Progress

Review: Reporting War by Chris Masters

On Friday I attended the Chris Masters’ ‘Reporting War’ session at the Brisbane Writers Festival.

Chris is one of Australia’s best known investigative reporters, a multi Walkley Award winner but perhaps best known for his time at Four Corners and his work in the Fitzgerald Inquiry. The session was largely about writing Uncommon Soldier and his experiences in war reporting. This book is currently signed and awaiting my attention (a review will follow). This book won the Fellowship of Australian Writers National Literary Awards – Excellence in Non-fiction Award. It was shortlisted this year in the Prime Ministers Literary Awards – Non-fiction.
