Bill Emmott the former director of The Economist and long term thorn in Berlusconi’s side since he was unsuccessfully sued for libel  after the magazine’s front cover said he was unfit to lead in Italy back in 2001, has made a film. The documentary about Italy and its ailing economy and woeful politics is called […]

St Patrick’s Well, Orvieto

St Patrick's Well Orvieto

St Patrick’s well is one of the sights of Orvieto. And one of the places we always visit. It’s dark so a tripod is handy. The life of an Italian prince in Renaissance Italy was pretty dangerous and no less so for the clerical prince known as the pope. In 1527 after Rome had been […]

Making photo books

Blurb books

The idea of making an illustrated book just a few years ago would have seemed absurd, but now making photo books is inexpensive and anyone can make a book for as little as €14.  I use Blurb but there are others on the market: Qoop, Lulu and WeBook. For a comparison Overview. You can find out everything […]

What digital camera is best for photo treks?

Canon G12

‘…..what digital camera should I buy?’ is one of the most frequent questions I’m asked before starting a photo trek. To be frank it’s a bit like asking someone ‘what car should I buy?’  or ‘how long is a piece of string?’ As a general rule I suggest that if you already have (or can borrow) […]

Is film dead?

Mamiya RB 67 medium format film camera
