Shoes and bags

Today saw the sun shining and it felt the hotest day of the year so far. I had picked up some new shoes and a bag from Shoe Biz yesterday so spent part of today in the cool of my studio. Having four shoots this comming week I wanted to continue with the project today so that I can get the shoes back when the shop reopens on tuesday. Hope you like these two of the many I shot.

Gerorge Clare Surgery Chatteris

Tuesday saw myself with two members of Fenvac at the George Clare Surgery in Chatteris to meet with Barbara Green the Practice Manager to get a publicity photo for the local press. The partners through Barbara have kindly invited Fenvac members to hang art work throughout the building giving us the opportunity to reach a wider audience with our art. Four member currently have work displayed, Marian, Heather, Richard and myself. The work will change on a regular basis so all members will have an opportunity to show their work.

Here is a picture of Heather Barbara and Marian.

Yesterday saw six Fenvac members at RAF Wyton at a special day where we were able to show the art we produce and to chat with staff from the base. It was a great day with lots of interest shown in our work. A big thanks for their invite and hospitality

BMF

Hi, I was at the BMF event over the weekend which is always great fun and brings motorcyclists from all over the world to what is probably one of the biggest events of its kind in Europe. This image is from a series done on The Purple Helmets a fun display team who entertained us all. Also there was a local carting club from Wisbech who also helped raise money for Eddie Kidd the stunt roder who broke his neck some time ago. Some of the images have gone to the Motorcycle News for a spread in this weeks publication and hopefully Fenland Citizen will also do a spread on their local club.

Cavell Centre

The Cavell Centre is based in Peterborough and is for people with mental health difficulties. Having been approached by a representative from Arts & Minds, Marian, Ric and myself were invited to submit work to be displayed in this new centre. After a selection procedure all three of us had work accepted. This one one of my images that was selected and will soon be displayed for up to a year.

Its always nice to have worked judged by a panel of people and know that the work, as well as being decorative will be used by the staff to elicite memories and feelings from those being treated at the centre.

Shoes, bags and BBQ

I have been asked to post some more images from my recent shoes and bags shoot so here are three more which are quite different from the others I have shown. With the "wedding season" well and truelly underway I thought these would be appropriate.

Recently I have found bags much harder to shoot for some reason so I tried to put more time into it and am pleased with these results.

Yesterday saw me showing the final images for the calendar to all those that took part. I am pleased that everyone really liked their picture. The calendar will run for 18 months so trying to please 18 people was a bit nerve racking. Ric and Kath at the Honest John who chose me to do the images put on a lovely BBQ for all the people involved and their families. Thanks to them for a lovely evening,
