Mortal Coil

You may have noticed a relative lack of postings around here since last month – this is due to keeping a low profile in advance of our next big trip, which starts Friday: Japan and Hong Kong! To say we are excited about this one is an understatement, considering that we booked the tickets in January and so have had 10 months to work ourselves up into a lather. We’ll be visiting Tokyo, Hakone, Nara, Osaka, Fukuoka, Kurokawa, Kumamoto, Hiroshima and Miyajima, Koya-san, Kyoto, Takayama and then back through Tokyo before heading back via a layover in Hong Kong.

Clearly, there will be photos. I am undecided but I may do a few Instagram-style photo posts while on the road as teasers, before unleashing the “proper” photos once we’re home.

In other news, I’ve been invited by Getty Images to license some of my Flickr photos for sale through their stock service. The method of choice from them seems somewhat random (there seem to be a lot of South American desert shots for some reason) but if it results in some extra income, then who am I to question why?
