Something New, Something Old.

Of course, me being me, I like to sprinkle some organic material over some of the bridal shots from earlier this month…

In The Ring

I’m spending a lot of time on eBay at the moment.

I Like To Play

I am a visual creature.

Despite my professed loathing for ‘too much Photoshop’, I think I would like to refine that statement to ‘too much bad Photoshop’.

Of course, one man’s meat is another man’s poison, so it’s all about taste in the end.

Which I have, and the other man clearly doesn’t.

I’m very happy with these images. For what might seem to be quite simple portraits, there’s a lot of elements that I really like.

The styling, the hair, the lighting, the post-production — all came together really well and in a coherent way. And of course, Abby looks great and did brilliantly in working with the theme of the shoot.

Or something like it.

I wonder if I’ll like this tomorrow. I do get so in the zone with my Photoshoppery, it’s hard to tell.

I like it now, however.

More Chocolate

72%, with caramel.

I’m actually partial to Lindt Chilli Chocolate, but that’s for special occasions.

Who doesn’t like chocolate?

My personal favourite is the Lion Bar.

… and then crop. Lovely.

This makes me see the point in having a bazzilion megapixels… so I can zoom in, find lovely crops like this one and still be able to print them with plenty of detail.

Happy New Ear

Tell me...

Three days in and I think the winter blues are just about kicking in.

I loathe the first couple of months of the year; I wish that I’d worked out a way to avoid them, or keep myself occupied until they pass.

And if I don’t shoot something new and interesting soon I think my brain might just implode.

Happy New Year!

You Saw Me Standing Alone

Happy New Year everyone.

I read that it is a blue moon this NYE. For some reason I think that there should be some superstition surrounding this convergence of events — particularly as this is the end of a decade as well.

I can’t find anything, but as such superstitions have no basis in fact, let’s make one up. How about… ‘a blue moon on NYE ushers in a decade of inner peace and prosperity’ ?

I’d settle for that.

Oh and perhaps something about getting rich and moving to California to live by the Pacific Ocean with a beautiful wife.
