During a recent trip back home to my parents I couldn't resist getting my camera out to photograph the very friendly neighbourhood fox. It ventures into the garden every day to have a mooch around and wait for its dinner consisting of eggs, pork pies, steak pies, peanuts etc. Not sure what Dad thinks seeing Mrs Fox running off with his best steak pies! :-)
If you like cheese you might like to give the world famous Gloucestershire tradition of cheese rolling a go.
It's quite simple, you climb to the top of a ridiculously steep hill in the Gloucestershire countryside and then launch yourself back down the hill chasing a large round lump of cheese. The person who reaches the bottom first wins the cheese! You may not the reach the bottom with all of your limbs in working order but hey I'm sure the cheese is worth it!
Baby Portraits
Over the weekend I had the opportunity to photograph a friends very cute ten week old baby called Austin. He was a happy little chap and certainly knew how to work the camera ...a career in modelling awaits! :-)
After a night of emotion and remarkable results, the General Election 2015 is now over. The country has now turned blue with Scotland a distinct yellow in favour of the SNP. Labour and the Liberal Democrats took a bashing with the people of England and Wales deciding to stick with what they know and give David Cameron another five years to finish the job.
I photographed the former Labour leader Ed Milliband a couple of months ago on the campaign trail in Gloucestershire. He seemed like a nice guy, more relaxed and tuned in than the impression I got from watching him on TV. After five years as leader he's now looking for a new job. As for David Cameron... I hope he does well and doesn't send the country to sleep, unlike the audience members in a speech he gave a few years back! :-)
It was a pleasure to photograph the amazing wedding ceremony of Amy-Jane & Andy. A great couple combined with a lovely traditional church made for some fab images :-)
I took a few portraits today of the Seven Dials Rapscallions Historical Re-enactment Group today ( that's a mouthful! ). I'm fascinated with history and learning about how people lived hundreds of years ago, so this job was a joy. The costumes and acting of the group were amazing. They really sucked me in and made me believe I was transported back in time.
