The Italian Job
Written by John MacphersonJust had a few days in Italy. Lovely place, lovely people. Never been before, but will go again. So here’s a visual diary of some of my wanderings. I know I know, self-indulgent. But it’s not about me, it’s about there.

John MacPherson was born and lives in the Scottish Highlands. He trained as a welder in the Glasgow shipyards, before completing an apprenticeship as a carpenter, and then qualified as a Social Worker in Disability Services. Along the way he has cooked on canal barges, trained as an Alpine Ski Leader & worked as an Instructor for Skiers with disabilities, been a canoe instructor, and tutor of night classes in carpentry, stained glass design and manufacture, and archery. He has travelled extensively on various continents, undertaking solo trips by bicycle, or motorcycle. He has had narrow escapes from an ambush by terrorists, been hit by lightning, caught in an erupting volcano, trapped in a mobile home by a tornado, kidnapped by a dog's hairdresser, rammed by a basking shark and was once bitten by a wild otter. He has combined all this with professional photography, which he has practised for over 35 years. He teaches photography and acts as a photography guide & tutor in the UK and abroad. His biggest challenge is keeping his 30 year old Land Rover 110 on the road. He loves telling and hearing stories.

Some ace shots John. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers Ben – was very liberating just to have fixed lens compact and do stuff quickly and unobtrusively.
I like the first photo. Thanks
Thanks Hernan, that’s a small boy captivated by a fountain/water feature in Florence under the railway station.
