That wedding last weekend

Privileged to 2nd shoot a wedding with New York based photographer, Amanda Stevens, this weekend gone... I do enjoy the 2nd shooter thing, and being able to hand off raw files at the end and not have a massive edit / delivery is always lovely. Images to follow, some even via the Sony a7 (there's a funny story) 

Meanwhile, a bit of a rejig on the old website, the front page looks a bit different, mostly as there are music photographs I've taken at some point or another in the last ten or so years... Thinking about music photography, I think I'd like to do a little of it again, just thinking. 

Meanwhile, again, I am going to try out making a film with FilmicPro on my iPad for a short film competition that FilmicPro are running (feel free to enter, I'll do badly anyways!) 

My idea for the film I need to make (5 minutes worth) is, you'll be horribly shocked, ready... COFFEE! That's right... Kinda odd idea, as I'm sure it will maybe annoy coffee shops / bean roasters... Maybe it won't and i'll have a clearer view - but anyways, won't share much perchance I chicken out and it doesn't happen. 

Enough meanwhiles and anyways... Leave you with some music and a photographic exclusive, never before seen on the internet (translates to I was lazy enough to not edit it...)

Dave Matthews at Brixton Academy - Photographed him shoulder to shoulder with my best mate. Magic evening. Anyways. 

We're busy shuffling our values about

Every now and then I get horribly bored of this website and need to change it - well, this is one of those times and, tonight, I've run out of time to finish what I'd like to get done. 

So, while we're waiting for the guy that makes the carpet match the wallpaper, i'll just leave these photographs here for you to dismiss. 


Where did the time go?

19 September, 2008 I asked a couple of questions on an old blog I had, they were...

  1. Where do you see your photography a year from now?
  2. What would you mostly like to improve?
  3. If you had to choose one style of photography and not do anything other than that, for the remains of your professional life, what style would it be?

My blog, being the VERY well read blog that it was* collected a few replies, I thought it was interesting to see what and where those people were, today. 

This is the photograph I posted with the blog post back then. Not sure why.

Answers came from the following folk...

You can read the answers the guys gave, here, on the original blog post... I'm not posting them on THIS post because I'd like to ask them a favour -- If you answered back then, please leave a comment below and let me know 'how you did' -- where are you now? 

Compared with what I was shooting in 2008, I guess i've progressed a bit - I'm better at it and I'm paid to do it now. Although I don't do it full time, it is a large part of my 9-5 and remaining relevant in my 9-5 space which is photographic social media.

What about you - where do you see yourself in a year from now? Leave a comment, please.
