Visiting Mallorca in late 2008, I didn’t even bother to take a tripod. I knew that I was unlikely to repeat the hundreds of ‘cathedral by floodlight’ shots, and suspected that restrictions might prevent tripod use at sites we planned to visit. I encountered, instead, an almost enthusiastic reception for someone clearly carrying a large DSLR kit – and ended up buying a €30 tripod which saw plenty of use.

Publishing was, and is, no more than the act of making words, images or any other information public.
