I took this on a visit to the Masai Mara in Kenyo in December 2008. We were very lucky to be driving around and this lady just appeared in our tracks. She had a recent kill in this tree so was very keen to keep hold of it. She allowed us to stay and photograph her for around an hour and was even there when w came past the next day.

I used to live in East London and round and about were plenty of opportunities to go out and take photos. The Thames barrier is an iconic landmark that lends itself very well to being snapped.

The Great Court at the British Museum is a fantastic example of British architecture at it's best from my favourite architect Sir Norman Foster.

This photo of the New York City financial district was taken from the River Café in Brooklyn. We walked over the Brooklyn Bridge to get there and I'll never forget what the maître d' said when I took my jacket off..."We operate a jacket on policy in here Sir, so if you wouldn't mind popping it back on."
