The Gap Year That Saved A Marriage – with Holly Wainwright (Mamamia)
The invisible woman still leaves quite a gap when she disappears. When the invisible woman packs her bags and buggers right off, suddenly her space becomes blindingly clear.
Luxury Escapes. A moment in The Peninsula Hotel Tokyo
I am inspired by the people I meet during my travels; what they eat; what they do, who they are,and where they call home…
I love stepping into a small part of their daily lives – nudging the periphery of what it might be like to spend longer than a ‘holiday’ in their part of the world.
Even if our language differs, there is always a way to communicate – express ourselves…
As for most photographic opportunities; this one might not have been if I had chosen to linger a moment longer in my room. It was mid morning as I walked through the lobby of The Peninsula Tokyo, on my way out to the shopping streets of Ginza. I noticed a group of well dressed people congregating near the entrance – the bellman let me know in a whisper that a wedding party was on the way…
I had just enough time to whip out my camera before the beautiful bride – in a confection of tulle – swept in. So gorgeous was the sight, the entire room stopped to clap; businessmen in meetings and families finishing breakfast…we bonded in the moment. Just as quickly the event passed and I was off into the streets, wondering if it had all been a dream.

DO YOU LOVE WATCHING A WEDDING AS MUCH AS I DO?
