New York
I generally head to New York in the hot summer months, but always wanted to see the city at Christmas. New York at Christmas is cold but very magical, especially with the children, just seeing their faces light up – it’s what Christmas is all about. Of course we had to see the Rockettes at…
A gold Nikon
On a recent photo-shoot in Cologne I happen to stumble upon a rare breed: I had to kneel before it and glare with delight. The Nikon FA limited edition gold film camera! Only two thousand gold Nikons were produced, it’s plated with 24k gold and decorated with lizard skin and a snitch at around £15,000…
