Photography

Have camera. Will travel.

The best photography requires effort.

For years, Giles has packed up a camera and headed off for a photostroll — by car, on foot, even in a canoe. He’s traveled up and down the US East Coast, to the UK, and as far west as Texas, all in search of architecture and landscapes that would look great hanging on a wall . . . or used on a book cover.
