As we walked through the Birks o’Aberfeldy yesterday we came across this amazing performance by a leaf dancing in the wind. Mesmerising.
Thinking differently about photography

Probably one of the best ever examples of how its the photographer not the equipment which makes a great photo. Stunning shots in this little video, and a great story too. Watch it and be inspired!
The power of vulnerability

This is one of the most inspiring, funny and moving TED talks I’ve seen so far. Brene Brown’s qualitative research has led her to conclude that one of the most important issues for human beings is connections – we need to be connected, to belong, to love and be loved.
