Exciting Update on My Landscape Photography Journey and New Guidebook Release!
It's an exhilarating time here, and I'm thrilled to bring you an exciting update on all things related to my photography adventures, my latest guidebook, van life, and more.
Latest Guidebook Release: Exploring Cork's Captivating Landscapes
I'm beyond delighted to announce the launch of my seventh photography location guidebook, focusing on the stunning landscapes of Cork, Ireland. This guidebook is a labor of love, meticulously crafted to help you uncover the hidden gems and picturesque scenes that Cork has to offer. From serene woodlands to captivating coastal villages, this guidebook is your key to exploring Cork's beauty through your lens.
Next Guidebook Preview: Unveiling the Wonders of West Cork
As I celebrate the release of my Cork guidebook, I'm already hard at work on my next project. My eighth guidebook will take you on a journey through the enchanting landscapes of West Cork. Stay tuned for updates on this exciting new addition to my collection.
Van Life Adventures and Mechanical Hiccups
My photography journey isn't just about the breathtaking vistas; it's about the journey itself. Recently, during my trip to Antrim to create my guidebook on that stunning region, my trusty van had a few mechanical hiccups, specifically with the clutch. I had an interesting journey getting the van home for sure. While it was an unexpected challenge, it also reminded me that life on the road is an adventure in itself.
Van Modifications and Personal Touches
To make my van even more comfortable and efficient, I've been busy making some modifications. From organising my photography gear to creating a cozy sleeping nook, I'm turning my van into a true home away from home.
Stories from the Road and Personal Experiences
On a more personal note, let me share a recent story with you. While taking a break from photography, I had an unfortunate ankle injury while playing basketball with friends. I seem to still think I am younger than I actually am :-) It's a reminder that life's unexpected twists can shape our journey in unforeseen ways. But rest assured, this setback won't dampen my photography spirit!
Celebrating Milestones: Nearing 5000 Subscribers and Half a Million Views
As I reflect on this incredible journey, I'm humbled to share that my YouTube family is rapidly growing. I'm closing in on 5000 subscribers and nearly 500000 views—a testament to the shared passion for landscape photography that binds us together.
