Neil Long

One Arm šŸ’ŖšŸ» One Camera šŸ“· One World šŸŒ Hi, Iā€™m Neil. A British photographer born in Germany, but thatā€™s a story for another day and a decent glass of bourbon. Youā€™ll usually find me looking for an inspiring shot somewhere in this beautiful world of ours. Yes, itā€™s true, I really do only have one arm. I may have more than one camera though, but then I can only hold one at a time right? There are loads of inspiring quotes about travel that truly resonate with me, but I think these two are my favourites, because they could be about life in general too: ā€œBlessed are the curious, for they shall have adventuresā€ And ā€œIf you think adventure is dangerous, try routine, itā€™s lethal.ā€
