Review: ‘Rework’

‘Rework’ has given me the confidence to challenge the convention of the working world we know, and to push for sustainable, worthwhile output. In this day and age of the ‘hustle’ is it possible to get lost in the reality of what it takes to do good, sustainable work. …

Review: “Social: Why Our Brains are Wired to Connect”

‘Social’ has helped me understand the way in which my brain approaches social situations, what motivates other people, and how the power of being social can drastically improve my ability to learn and conquer at life. One of the greatest challenges that we as people face is navigating the world of the people around us. There is almost nothing in this life that we can achieve on our own, and what we do achieve we usually measure in the eyes of others. …

Review: “Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind”

In Sapiens I have found a book that provides answers for questions that I have never even thought to ask (about how the hell we got here). ‘Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind’ by Yuval Noah Harari attempts to compress the history of Humankind into 512 pages of high-level, factual chronological entertainment, that leaves you feeling wiser, and more at peace with how the world came to be as it is today.

Street Photography in the rain

Street photography under ‘normal’ conditions is quite difficult…well at least for me. When the light is bright but not casting sharp shadows, or when the weather is present, but not windy or wet, I find it hard to pull a story from the people in the street. Today however, I…

Making people happy

I was watching this video about a guy, Bruce Zaccagnino, who’s built the biggest model railway set in the world called ‘Northlandz’ (don’t ask me how I found this video). I’m attracted to stories of people that have a passion and follow it. This guy has dedicated his life, with…

Islington by night: straight from the camera

This evening I wandered the streets of Islington. I went out with little aim other than to work with some new focal lengths. I find street photography at night (in London at least) so boring because of the street lights. So I decided to shoot Black & White. These shots…

Can I ‘design’ the future me?

We place great value in ‘things’ that have been created with great care and attention. So why don’t we apply that same attention to ourselves. Today’s the day I try and design my future. (Quickly who I am… I’m Finlay Craig, creator, designer, and man-with-camera, who’s living in London, from Edinburgh, and married to Madeleine) The process should be…
