I needed to take a couple of very quick headshots for my brother-in-law's CV.
January is not my favourite month although it does include my birthday which helps a little I guess.
I recently had an assignment to capture some faces attending the VIP night of The Albany Theatre's production of A Christmas Carol.
Had a lovely weekend in Bristol visiting my eldest daughter's new house and on the Saturday evening catching one of our favourite bands, Lake Street Dive, gigging at SWX Bristol.
My favourite camera bags are made by Billingham who I think started out a long time ago making fishing gear but now have a great range of bags for photographers. I've got a Hadley Pro and a 225 (I think it's called).
I heard today that one of my videos may be used as a trailer on the Keep it Country TV channel.
We visited Falmouth for the Oyster Festival. The hotel we stayed at was so nice I put together a very quick video of it
It might sound as though Nikon camera users are religious when they refer to the 'Holy Trinity'.
I got a message on the day I got back from Greece asking if I could cover a concert at Coventry Cathedral the following night when a Scottish band called Mogwai played the soundtrack to a film called Atomic, directed by a Coventry born man called Mark Cousins.
We took a trip to York for the weekend and were very lucky with the weather.
I first heard of Skinny Molly when watching a Youtube video from a photographer I follow for his camera reviews.
Once again this year I attended Coventry's annual 3 day free music festival featuring this year, amongst other bands, The Boomtown Rats, The Charlatans and Scouting for Girls.
Was very pleased and excitedto be invited down to Palmer Sport for an exhausting day of driving 8 different types of cars, from a Land Rover on a 4x4 course at scary angles to a Formula 3000, full on single seater race car.
Just enjoyed a great two days at the third annual Coventry Motofest, a free motoring event that gets bigger every year, based in the centre of Coventry
Local Coventry professional covers band, The Subterraneans, is one of my favourite bands to photograph.
This weekend an arts and music festival has been organised in the ruins of the old Coventry Cathedral which was bombed in the war and sits right next to the new Coventry Cathedral.
We popped down to Brighton last week for a couple of days to see a band, Lake Street Dive, who were playing at the Komedia on Monday night.
I spent a great day at Silverstone Racing Circuit last Sunday. It was the first round in the 2016 World Endurance Cars series. The 6 hour race saw over 30 cars on track split into four different classes, so effectively four races in one.
Spent an enjoyable couple of hours visiting this great museum at Gaydon to try out a new prime lens
