Getting there slowly but surely

I finally decided that I prefer doing portraiture over most other types of photography and whilst I have plenty of experience doing small photo shoots of friends and family and friends-of-friends, I have only just started working with models properly by joining a few modelling sites and seeking opportunities to work with them. We met …

More problems for photographers

I have mentioned before the problems photographers face when taking photos in public. Many are getting harassed. It seem to be a problem in may places but Britain appears to be suffering the most. See this latest article in The Telegraph and now a major debate on the internet. Looks like the terrorists are winning …

A new model

The Mrs and I went to see a new model in her home yesterday. We had first got in touch through the Star Now network. She is an "army wife" (ex-army herself) and recently moved from London to darkest Shropshire and was looking, frankly, for things to do whilst her husband is away defending us …

Scotland 08 – Friday

Heavy rain most of the night and still going strong in the morning. We did not feel motivated to do very much. We had planned a day out in a particularly beautiful area near by including a couple of waterfall visits. We decided, somewhat reluctantly, to head back to Inverness and hit the shopping centre. …

Scotland 08 – Thursday

Awoken by my youngest daughter at 7.20am today. Had hoped to lie in for a change as I have been getting up before 7am so far. Understandable though as it was her 15th birthday. We quickly got ourselves together and went through the appropriate ceremonies. The best part was when we revealed that, contrary to …

Scotland 08 – Wednesday

We headed for Inverness again today with a stop on the way at the Loch Ness Visitors’ Centre. We have been the latter in the past and not much has changed – still loads of "tat" (as my parents would have said) for gullible tourists to waste their money on. The associated hotel on the …

Scotland 08 – Tuesday

I wanted to minimise the amount of driving I did today so we chose to go to the nearest town: Fort Augustus. This is a very popular tourist spot featuring a series of locks on the Caledonian Canal leading down to Loch Ness. I did an unsuccessful hunt for Internet access in the town whilst …
