Indian Wedding

We were due to do a shoot yesterday but a few days ago we received an unexpected wedding invitation from an old friend that I had not been in touch much with for a while. 19 years ago he was best man at our wedding. That wedding had thrown him a little as it was …

We went to an excellent fish & chip cum pub restaurant, Mulligan’s Restaurant & Bar. The place had a tremendous, relaxed and easy-going vibe to it. The food was excellent as was the …

Nervous model

I discovered today that one of the models I did a test shoot of recently was a little upset with me (had her confidence knocked) because I have described her as nervous at the test shoot on one of my model site profiles where I mention who I have worked with. This aside I had …

Hotel dining

I have spent most weekday nights over the last year in a Crown Plaza hotel. I know the room services menu pretty much off by heart. I am allergic to cheese which knocks out a large chunk of the relatively short menu. I think the food mostly comes from the 3663 food services company, which …
