I'm lucky, I have a job that allows me travel and affords me fantastic holiday time. I've spend four years in Vietnam and now have moved to Mumbai, India to see where that takes me. I take pictures of things I like and I like taking pictures.

Warking Posted on 05/05/2013

In the spirit of never regretting missing a picture I dragged myself out on one of the hottest days of the year so far. I dodged ricks and trucks and massive potholes to snap a road sign...   Read more
Mumbai Mannequin Man Posted on 02/05/2013

I tend to become fond of odd little sights on regular journeys and feel the need to spot them when I cross their paths. A kind of visual OCD I suppose. I've seen this guy so many times...   Read more
Cock o' the walk Posted on 22/04/2013

Now I'm perfectly familiar with the concept of a city being a series of interconnected villages. What I'm less used to is the villagers bringing their animals with them but in...   Read more
Colonnades Posted on 18/04/2013

There are some lovely buildings in Mumbai in various states of repair and most of them are very photogenic. I'd somehow got through nearly two years here without going out with the...   Read more
Pigeons Posted on 15/04/2013

Everywhere you look, there are the pigeons. Above you, beneath your feet, perching at eye level, peering in your windows and, on occasions, flying right at your lensThis one was on a direct...   Read more
Mumbai Mobile Creches Posted on 14/04/2013

Night View Posted on 13/04/2013

The moon on the night of Holi 2013, the lights from the hundreds of homes I look out over. Sometimes suburban sprawl is pretty.   Read more
The end of an era? Posted on 11/04/2013

Thali ho! Posted on 07/04/2013

I live out in the sticks and benefit from having a lot of greenery outside the flat so slightly better air quality. On the other hand we don't have the wide range of entertainment...   Read more

  • You will have to check with the Visa Office, http://in.vfsglobal.co.uk/aboutyourvisas.html
    My understanding is that you can get a visa for a year but your maximum stay can only be for 6 months so you have to leave and come back in again (Sri Lankan side trip?). I'd love the luxury of not having to work for a year, let me know how it works out.
    If you're near Edinburgh the visa admin office on Rose Street might be able to talk you through the process.
