My approach to photography is simple: use a half decent camera and take a lot of shots. I know I'm no good at this. I don't understand half the things that go on with cameras. I need help and luck. And also I need to switch some information off too.

The reason I'm taking these photographs is so that I can remember the look, feel and tone of a place when I'm back in England, writing. Colour is very nice for travel photography. It doesn't always help for my purposes.

Here are a few shots that may help explain what I'm trying to say. They're mostly black and white, taken around Florence this morning. The camera I use is a fixed focus Ricoh GR III. Dead simple at a basic level. And it lets me set up the monochrome shots so that they can carry a light sepia or blue or other tint if I feel like it. See what you think.<!--more-->[gallery]
