		<description><![CDATA[Mark Twain once described golf as a good walk spoiled and while I may beg to differ with that particular quote I am beginning to wonder if photography can often spoil a walk.
Today I completed a 14 mile walk in the Brecon Beacons covering 4 of the highest summits with fellow photographer Dan Santillo (www.dansantillo.com) [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;ve been wondering about the lack of activity and serious photography on my website, Facebook page or Twitterfeed recently don&#8217;t worry, I haven&#8217;t given up photography, it&#8217;s just that it&#8217;s the summer holiday  
Anyone who had kids of school age will know what that means, additional hours and days spent entertaining the children [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s always good to try your hand at areas of photography that are out of your comfort zone, and motor sport photography certainly falls into that category for me. The most movement I normally have to contend with is a strong breeze in my landscapes or an over-active toddler in my portraits, not a 600cc [...]]]></description>

Well first of all it was great to see so much of my work framed and on the wall &#8211; which becomes more and more unusual in this digital age &#8211; and I managed to cover most [...]]]></description>

Whether this be through traditional film based systems like the Holga or Lomo, or the more high-tech route of iPhone plus applications such as Hipstamatic.

Now I&#8217;m not being faecetious here &#8211; I know that a lot of photography IS art &#8211; what I&#8217;m asking is when an image ceases to be a photograph because it has been manipulated too much. The distinction used to be clear because manipulation of an image was [...]]]></description>
