The Forgotten Door







Hello there, nice to meet you.

I don't know about you but I find myself constantly on the prowl for new sources of creative inspiration, whether it's architectural plans, illustration, skateboarding videos, fashion, furniture design or some bizarre, niche technological advance.

If things go to plan, the most intriguing and exciting of these discoveries and some incredible, inspiring photography will wash up here, on the shores of Tumblr.

You can find my own photographic endeavours over on my blog which is located at www.wearehomegrown.co.uk

  • Bushman, Botswana





    Sunlight and shadows highlight a river Bushman in a canoe in the Okavango River. When the river swells and floods, it creates an alluvial fan of more than 10,000 square miles (26,000 square kilometers).
