London town

Hi all,

Just writing to say I've left Scotland for the first time in four months, having taken the bus down to the big bad world, where the streets have too many names. Just enjoying coffee at the moment in Camden Market, North London, and thought I would get back to my blog before heading off to a photography exhibition at the Photographer's Gallery in Piccadilly with a new friend from Paris.

Walked by Getty Images this morning and the headquarters of Vice magazine last night. I'm reminded now that I need to put a portfolio together so I can actually get a job in this city soon. I had chosen to live here before last spring you know, rather opting to head to my second home in Glasgow for the internship of a lifetime with the Herald and Times.

Going to put together a black and white photo essay of my adventures in London for you soon. Will be on Fleet Street later recalling the glory days of publishing and journalism as well. CouchSurfing with my old pal Alexis tonight, who was kind enough to join us for dinner and drinks on Brick Lane last night. Meeting him after his work today for more of the same. Updates and pub reviews coming your way.

Nothing better than sitting outside in the timeless cobbled lanes of London enjoying a glass of Chardonnay on a warm summer night. Just had some nice takeaway sushi in Camden Market. It's a great place to get great cheap eats after browsing the quirky sidestreets and markets of this neighbourhood.

I fell like I'm tweetimg, but now you know what's been in the agenda. All the best, and much love from London.

U2 and Glasvegas

Hi all,

One night after U2. The best show ever I believe; only waited 23 years for this one. Yes, perhaps better than Radiohead last year, and the three Bob Dylan shows I've seen. Glasvegas did a fantastic job as opening act, despite being incredibly nervous in front of their hometown crowd - as the band told me they would be when I had the chance to hang with/interview them a few weeks back.

Hi,

Back from a whirlwind trip around the country. 1,000 miles along roads large and small, single-track and motorway, winding and climbing, up and down. Rain, and more rain.; to the 4 corners of a great land. Here are a few frames. Adventure stories to follow.

Hope everyone is enjoying their August. U2 tomorrow. All the best from me to you.

Skye's the limit

Hello there,

It's been a while again. My body is weak, tired and weary; Sick. I need some fresh air. Give me rolling hills and endless days and nights. I rented a car. It's fully loaded with snacks and supplies. I'm leaving my computer at home. I've packed my camera and will be driving towards the sunset tomorrow.

A beautiful girl has stolen my attention, she always does, and we're running away. Skye's the limit. Tiny highways, rolling hills, the West Highland Way, sandy beaches, islands, cliffs, ocean views, Harry Potter trains, climbing munros, wandering the fields and 1,001 pictures to be taken along the way. It's finally time to discover Scotland and its pristine beauty.

Ciao!
