The Blog
I love writing about my photography experiences. I am encouraged by the feedback I get and it seems like my blog posts are useful to people. It is usually a combination of descriptions of my outings and reviews of gear that I’ve bought and used. I like to think it’s a more realistic and genuine approach than much of the influence-riddled sponsored stuff you see on social media these days.
I have imported many blog posts from my old tobinators.com website which I had archived. I’ll gradually be going through those and adding back the images and sorting the formatting, so bear with me. It’s a lot of work! So don’t be too baffled when you see a lot of unformatted text - the content is still there.
