Cherubs seminar

Looking forward now to the Cherubs seminar organised by the MPA at the Hilton Hotel, Coventry on Tuesday 1st April. This is always a good day out and a chance to meet up with some old friends and, hopefully, make some new ones.

The speaker this year is iconic California photographer, Bambi Cantrell. I saw Bambi a while ago at a wedding seminar in Bristol and learnt a lot from her, so I'm looking to learn something new about portraits that I can use in the studio.

Stay tuned for an update later in the week.

MPA - Gt Western Region print competition

I was fortunate enough to be awarded 3rd place in the recent 6-in-1 wedding print competition for the David Rio trophy in our region. I entered two montages and my 3rd place was from a wedding I shot last September at the Swan Hotel, Bibury in the Cotswolds near Cirencester.

My other entry was in B&W and shot at Dumbleton Hall Hotel between Tewkesbury and Evesham

Most recent wedding

I'm now going to try putting some pictures on the blog for the first time. I shot Francesca and Nathan's wedding at Clearwell Castle at the end of February. Although the weather wasn't that good we managed to do all the group photos outside before the rain came down

The Eagles

Went to see The Eagles Saturday at the O2 Arena in London docklands. Fantastic evening, lots of numbers from their new album. Joe Walsh was in great form as was the rest of them. Great night!

First attempt

Well, here we go! This is my first effort at blogging so please bear with me. A number of colleagues have been telling me how much they enjoy it, blogging that is, so I thought it was time to get with it, so to speak.

As this is just a test really, I'm going to limit this attempt to this to see how, and if, it works. More later, hopefully!
