More Panel thoughts
I’ve always thought Landscape and Seascape panels are more challenging than most because of the lack of control over the environment we have. The challenges should be essentially the same as any other panel subject; theme, continuity, balance, engagement, so why do I think it’s more difficult? Maybe it’s just a selection process I struggle…

In 2011 I decided I needed to go back…
