I went to the very first Glaziers' Art Fair last year when I was invited along by the Oxford University Society, and I came back this year with my four enormous wildlife prints.

Parallax Art Fair 2016
As somebody once wrote, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." I sold a print of my pig worth £495 but had a laptop worth £2,500 stolen!

Read MoreJust jaguars
I've just come back from a two-week photographic safari to the Pantanla in Brazil with Naturetrek. I love taking pictures of predators, but I was running out.

The worst part about taking pictures is knowing you've just missed a great shot. Here, I try to help wildlife photographers learn from 'the one that got away'.
Read MoreA day in the life of a wildlife photographer
My iPhone just about died yesterday, so I switched it off overnight. Miraculously, it's now back to 24%!
Read MoreBotswana and Victoria Falls
If you fancy watching a herd of 30 elephants crossing a river, photographing a malachite kingfisher perched three feet away or seeing an elephant chase off a pride of lions, try Botswana!

How to waste a lot of money on birds...

I spent 48 hours in Buenos Aires as part of my Grand Tour of South America, which also took in the Galápagos Islands, Iguazu Falls, the Falklands, South Georgia and the Antarctic Peninsula.
Read MoreIguazu or Iguassu or Iguazú...?
When you have a waterfall that borders three countries, it's not surprising they can't even agree on how to spell it. Just remember that the stress is on the final syllable...
Read MoreWelcome to South America!
It all started two days before my trip, when I asked Trailfinders for details of my flights to and from the Galápagos.
"Oh, you don't need to know all that," said the agent.
When I asked again, she gave me the wrong return date and then went AWOL for two days! She didn't even bother to confirm the right date, let alone apologise.

In the last year, I've started doing all my photographic post-processing in Lightroom. It's the program used by most professional photographers and is reasonably user-friendly, but the problem is choosing all the right settings.
Read MorePutney Lawn Tennis Club Christmas Craft Fair
Thanks to everyone who braved the wind and rain last night to come along to my tennis club's Christmas Craft Fair. I only sold three cards - the baby owl and the 'peekaboo pig', obviously! - but it was fun to have a chat to the other stallholders and show off my work to a few more innocent punters!

Dentists. Nobody much likes dentists, but I won't hear a word said against them. The first two prints I ever sold were bought by a dentist, and I've just sold seven more to another one!

I just wanted to thank everyone who came to my Open House exhibition over the last two weekends. It was nice to be able to show off my work and tell a few stories about taking the pictures, and I hope you enjoyed the exhibition.

People generally use TIA as a shorthand to explain the everyday frustrations of power cuts, traffic jams and endless delays, but it should also be a cry of wonder.
Read MoreDon't poke the bear!
Twenty years ago, I was staying with my best friend Mark in Golders Green and found myself chatting with his mother. She was in her seventies, but I politely asked if she'd been anywhere nice recently.
"Yes," she said, "I've just come back from watching the bears catching salmon in Alaska."
That'll teach me...!

I went to Royal Ascot on Friday and took a lot of pictures of beautiful people, but I do apologise if I didn't get round to you and your friends!
