The Joy of Witnessing the World from Above
There is no doubt that the world has beautiful places; however, when I worked as a photographer I used to imagine all the places I travelled to from above.
I know that might seem strange; however, I often feel that I am simply an ant who was born in an era filled with the opportunity to navigate the world. I don't know about you, but I have ended up in some seriously odd situations and have wondered whether there is a divine observer having a bit of a laugh.
The other day when I was quite far out to sea on my paddleboard when I wasp turned up and wanted to play chase. Honestly... A wasp. There was no reason for it to be there but no it turned up and thought is would hover at face height appearing rather aggressive. Admittedly I out-witted the blighter; however, such incidents make me feel as though I am in the Trueman show. With that in mind, I have enjoyed removing doors from planes and helicopters (DO NOT DO THIS!) and relying on a parachute harness to save me from general death, I photographed some rather beautiful sights.
The above images are taken over Bora Bora, the Namibian desert and Swakupmund Salt flats in Namibia. I guess I am having a bit of look through my travel photos to remind me of the insane things I used to do in the name of art!
