The Musings Of A Bohemian Frog
“The smile is a very important feature of the human face… I feel that a genuine, affectionate smile is very important in our day-to-day lives. How one creates that smile largely depends on one’s own attitude. It is illogical to expect smiles from others if one does not smile oneself. Therefore, one can see that
The thing I love most about living in different countries is learning all the peculiar new quirks that, if you keep an open mind, make life much more interesting. The list of things I have learned ever since moving to Germany for the first time in 1993 will fill up several volumes of an encyclopaedia,
Disclaimer: I am a 100% iOS (yes, Catalina) girl who also knows her way around Windows, and hence the root of all my problems. Any Mac user will tell you that the iCloud is the next best thing to using a Mac and all the paraphernalia that comes with it. This is a good thing.

If there is one positive thing to take away from this whole lockdown and pandemic is the sheer amount of free webinars that you can attend these days! My inbox has been flooded over the past weeks with invitations to this, that or the other webinar and at first I was a bit hesitant and
Here’s another nugget from my archives that made me grin the other evening. There is no way in any lifetime that the German police force, much as I respect them, will ever look as dashing and fashionable as the Italians! The carabinieri that I caught on my lens one particular afternoon in Pisa left a
Taking my cue from social media, one of the coping mechanisms for many photographers during lockdown is to re-visit the individual archives and re-edit some old favourites to create a virtual travelogue.
