So as not to attract too much attention from the authorities (as Turkmenistan is tightly controlled) I did most of the filming on my little DJI Pocket Osmo. This meant that there are some sound limitations but, conversely, I was able to obtain great footage of a city that few tourists have ever visited.

The capital of Turkmenistan is a fascinating mix of old, new and downright quirky. I’m going to explore with the help of my guide Mekan, so put on your Turkm...

A great day of filming today. The Reflex asked me to shoot a music documentary featuring their Live Aid at 40 gig at the Old Fire Station, Carlisle. Let me tell you, they are an awesome band!

What a joy to film Ann and Derek's Gretna Green Wedding this week - not a dry eye in the house, especially when Buddy Holly's True Love Ways filled the room. Ironically the happy couple had watched my Hurtigruten film on "Travel Obscurer" before sailing up the Norwegian coast and getting engaged in Trondheim.

In the far north east of Alaska you'll find Nome, one of the state's most famous gold rush towns. Indeed, gold is still found there to this day! What I found during my short visit in February was a host of friendly and creative people willing to share their experience of this remote town. Enjoy this little Nugget of Nome!

As Dumfries and Galloway continues to enjoy warm sunshine spare a thought for Barrow (Utqiagvik) Alaska where temperatures are still below freezing. It was only 3 months ago that I was filming there at temperatures of 30 degrees below. Still, it was well worth it. I've had great feedback from Ilisagvik College and if you want a crash course in Inupiat culture then this is the film for you!

Inupiat Culture is alive and kicking in Barrow, whatever the weather. With temperatures ranging from -29 to -40 degrees centigrade - filming in Barrow in ear...

I'm delighted to bring you this short film about one of my favourite Hebridean islands - Gigha. I visited last Saturday (during the current Scottish heatwave) almost ten years to the day since my last visit. It's still as gorgeous as ever - and in May Achamore Gardens are in full bloom!

Gigha is an island of the Inner Hebrides, 6 miles long from north to south and 1.5 miles wide,. Historically it was owned by private landlords until 2002 the...
