In 2001, aged 19, I went on a solo round the world trip with my trusty film SLR Camera. I visited India, Singapore, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, French Polynesia, USA and Mexico. It was one hell of an adventure and my first proper pursuit of photography in the real world. Here are some highlights, along with a few extra images from other travels thrown in, all taken on my beloved Yashica FX-D analogue film camera.
