The peeps at Mapbox.com have compiled an interactive map (Google Map API) plotting the most photographed places of all the major cities in the world. The data has been pulled from the last ten years of Flickr's data of photos that have been geotagged. You can check out your city's photographic hotspots here.

3 days in Mt Fuji
3 days in Mt Fuji

Friends! I got some photos (and a vlog) for you from a weeked trip away to Mt Fuji. We head to Mt Fuji for the weekend to chase some Autumn colours (with Fooj in the back obviously). If you have never been to Mt Fuji, be warned that depending on the time of year, it might not always be visible. It is kind of crazy thinking about how huge the mountain is and how it can just hide from you so easily in the clouds. I was once told by a tour guide that Mt Fuji is female because she likes to hide from you and will only appear if you are nice. Click through for more word and some photos to match.

Solo Travelling New Zealand: Queenstown to Milford Sound

Come with me as I solo road trip from Queenstown to Milford Sound and back. I stayed at an epic Airbnb in Queenstown and finally shot a full night (10 hour) astro photography sequence. I am also pretty sure I caught Venus, Mars AND a meteor shower in the astrolapse. I also do the epic drive to Milford Sound TWICE in two very wildly different conditions. Watch here:
