Solo Overland - Since 1982

Those browsing through this website will quickly acknowledge the owner has completed some serious solo overland travel mileage spanning over 4+ decades, including four years in Aussie in the late '70s covering extensive travel mileage through the country. That's a lot of double and triple overland transit journeys crossing through the continents. The world of travel, is how you personally define it, not by what others assume or think, including other people's interests, like my own .i.e. street, random portraiture, bird and wildlife photography. Decision making to travel solo overland through continents, is one of those obstacles many wished they had done at an early age, but never succeeded in doing so. Best advice in the 2020s — Don't delay, pack travel baggage and choose a continent.

They say practice makes perfect in anything we do. Using photo gear, is the same as birds learning to fly. Switching off smart phone junk holding real cameras instead, is the first step. This move allows complete concentration of what's in front of you choosing subject matter without addictive selfie intrusion. Within no time, you'll become aware understanding the difference between smartphone and camera travelers. Smartphone travelers focus more interest in themselves and how many social media likes they receive. Offshore street still photography is the complete opposite. Personally, the best move I've made, was leaving social media, and keeping smartphones switched off when heading out the door — Try it, you'll be amazed how you get your life back.

Whether its taking street portraits, or roaming through ancient ruins — travel with camera gear to get those shots. Avoid being like many are today, using smart phone junk. Using real photo gear becomes appreciated the more you use it. Brand names aren't important, only lens quality. Nikon, Canon, Fuji and Sony DSLR and mirrorless camera gear have you covered. Researching camera equipment before buying is recommended. Online reviews directly affiliated to single brands should be taken with a grain of salt. Instead, look at camera reviews by photographers who have thoroughly tried and tested photo gear within different environments of image quality and reliability. Purchasing non-tested new released camera gear should be avoided at all costs. Above street portrait, a quick example of older camera gear still being used in the 2020s — 2007 Nikon 12 MP D3 & 1981 105mm f1.8 AIS taken wide open @ 1.8. Just because something is old doesn't necessarily mean it's junk. Shopping for second hand camera gear, is with trusted eBay sellers from Japan, and dedicated camera shops selling used stuff, like KEH Camera USA.    

Sitting relaxing sipping on a cold ale in Singapore, Cape Town, Ushuaia, Tel Aviv and Moscow has a sense of satisfaction reaching those locations after traveling solo through countries crossing continents without flying reaching them - Try It.
