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,

Art Day and Wales

Hope you all enjoy the Bank Holiday weekend here in the UK. I am at Truckfest on sunday and monday and sunday evening I am photographing the group shot for the charity calendar (this time they will be all clothed) Spent some time in Wales the other week and had a great time going out with my niece for a days photography at Mumbles, I have also hosted an art day at my studio this previous sunday and took some shots of open toed boots. Here are two shots from Mumbles and two of the boots. Hope you like them.

Naughty boy

Hi all I have been very naughty by not updating this for so long. So much has happened over the last month or so that it would be silly to try and catch up so will just post some pictures from my ongoing shoe and bag project. These were taken yesterday and thanks to "shoe biz " for the loan of the shoes.

I do promise at least one post a week from now on

Charity Calendar

Wow what a busy few weeks it has been. The Mothers day exhibition will finish this saturday and the next planned one is for Fathers day.

The charity calendar is going well and by the middle of next week I will have shot all 18 of the people taking part!. They have all been great and happy to try poses that I have suggested as well as suggesting their own. The props that they have brought to cover the "vital bits" have been equally varied from a piece of turf cut in a heart shape (can you guess what month that will be?) to Horus the Egyptian god to an ironing board and just about everything inbetween.

I have had my first batch of postcards printed to promote my wedding business and have decided to do a promotion on my pet portraits to give 10% of orders from my dog portraits to the local "pat dogs" organsation The picture of rosie in the daffodils will be the front of that card.

I am also continuing my longterm shoe project and here is one of my latest shots

Hope you enjoy both pictures
