In 2019, I went to Japan to cheer on England as they played in the 2019 Rugby World Cup. I created a panoramic collage of the match against Argentina shot at the Ajinomoto stadium in Tokyo. This panorama consists of 35 seperate images all shot with a Canon 1dX and a nifty 50mm lens and then sewn together in Photoshop. England went on to win 39 - 10. One of the best experiences of my life so far!

I finally made the journey to visit the stunning Lichfield Cathedral in Staffordshire, England. Honestly, this building is breathtaking and is up there in my top 3 favorite buildings in all of England. The detail throughout is astounding. It honestly rivals York Minster in my opinion.

My first ever trip to the beautiful English town of Oxford. I love the local stone that was used to build the majority of these buildings. I don’t think I’ve ever been to a more idyllic town than Oxford.

A quick trip to Stockport to visit the 14th century tudor building Bramall Hall before taking the short stunning drive through the Derbyshire Dales to see Buxton - one of England’s most beautiful towns.

I’ve been back in England for 6 months and I wanted to spend this time getting more in touch with my country and the multiple beautiful locations around the United Kingdom I’ve wanted to visit for a long time. In this set of photos, I explore the gorgeous Clent Hills and Worcestershire countryside.

Me and my friend from England hit the road for a 6,000+ mile long road trip starting in New York City to Chicago via Toronto, then down to Nashville, through Texas and out to New Orleans just in time for Mardi Gras, then off to Miami before heading back up to NYC. Such a fun trip!

07:38am: Niagara Falls, Canada.

Nashville, Tennessee: If you’re a music head and you’re in Nashville, you have to visit Ernest Tubb’s record store!

Dallas was cool. X marks the spot where JFK got assassinated, allegedly.

I’m a massive fan of the TV show Fixer Upper so it was absolutely essential we made a visit to Waco to check out all the Magnolia stores and restaurants. That power couple single handedly raised Waco from obscurity to a nationwide sensation. Every town needs a Chip & Joanna!

By this point, we had smashed off about 3,500 miles in a 5 days. We were pretty exhausted but arrived in New Orleans, Lousiana just in time for Mardi Gras 2020. ‘Twas as experience to say the least.

Sunset in Clearwater, Florida. The sands were so white and clean!

By the time we got to Miami, we just sat on the beach and drank beers all day. Relaxation time was needed.

A view of lower Manhattan from the Staten Island ferry. 6,000 miles done. More of the world seen. Next.

I shoot singer song writer Kevin Wilkins of The Boardwalk Club at his home in Wilmington, Delaware.

Quick little day trip down to Philadelphia to check out the Christmas Market. I am totally and utterly enamored with the Philadelphia City Hall. It was one of the most aesthetically pleasing buildings I’ve ever laid eyes on. Easily one of the most beautiful buildings in North America.

I spend five days in the stunning British Overseas Territory of Bermuda. Bermuda is a volcanic outcrop located 600 miles off the US east coast. The island is 20 miles by 2 miles and is surrounded by pristine white and pink sand beaches and turquoise waters - total paradise.

I rented a scooter so I could raz around the island - such a fun and easy way of getting around Bermuda. I love that Bermuda still has a very British influence. Maybe we need to make some more British Overseas Territories.

I spend ten days in the incredible nation of China. Cities visited include Beijing, Shanghai and Fuzhou. I was amazed at how clean everything was. The food was incredible and the people were really friendly. China really is a nation on the up. Huge brand new airports, railway stations and engineering projects are popping up all over the country. China is a nation of rich history and culture. Get yourself over there!
