Opening with a classical track (Mumbai Theme Tune) is the perfect warm up for a sun soaked album oozing with lazy morning vibes...

I've got Prime for a week, so I watched this last night. What ruddy marvellous film 🎬

Even if only part of it's true, I love them all the more for it 🙌🏻 As Sir Elton John himself put it, good energy 🤩

The Slow And Meticulous Edit 📷 💻 Editing less photos, but spending more time and attention with each one.

The entire process is as relaxing as it is fun. It’s mindful, calming, and pretty darn rewarding.
