This week I combined a rigorous exercise workout with a photo shoot as I hiked to the top of Mt Frankland, near Walpole, Western Australia with all my camera gear, to photograph author Sarah Drummond for The Guardian (UK) Weekend magazine.

You may remember the earlier blog post about author and fisher, Sarah Drummond featuring images I'd taken of her and her dog Selkie at their remote hideaway in early autumn. I had driven home thinking about Sarah, completely at home in the elements...in her element, content in the isolation that others might consider to be desolation.

Nineteen hours in the company of author and fisher Sarah Drummond at her remote hideaway was as much a treat as it was inspiring. Thanks Sarah and Selkie for your hospitality and stories - looking forward to doing it all again soon x
