Like every other photographer I am always on the lookout for images, seeing if I can findĀ  one with the elusive spark that tingles down the spine.

EDINBURGH. A Drink in An Elegant Bar.

It was a friend’s 50th birthday and he decided that an appropriate way to celebrate would be lunch in Edinburgh at the Malt Whisky Society. Three of the attendee’s, Andrew the birthday boy, Niall and myself live in Lancashire, the fourth guest, Gavin lives on the outskirts of Inverness. So train tickets were booked and lunch reservations made. A travel note, it took as long for Gavin to travel from […]
