Burnt to Disk

The Christening photos are now finished, Just about to burn them to a disk and I'm so hoping that they go down very well.

I'll add some to the site after they have had a look

Friend or Photography

Today was goin to either going to be having an old friend over to London OR doing some homework for college. Guess what one happened....

My friend had to be called into work (or had a really bad hangover) So with a nicly cleaned flat me and fluff had the day to ourself's. So I ended up shooting FOOD for my homework for college as well as doing some more of the shoots for the Christening. But between Fluff and I we have over 200pics that we need to get down to around 50 or so.

Here is two of the food still life pics for Wednesday...

Friends Sometimes Change.. And Its Good

I got a Call today from a friend and It got me thinking...

How much does being with someone change you?

Now I met fluff when I was just turning 21 and we have been together for just over 5years now, When I met her I was a freebird with the world at his feet... I was out having fun with my friends every weekend and living the life of a London Raver, I had a job that payed the bills but had nothing going for it. I was happy and almost content with my life.

In the last 5 years I have moved away from the rave scene (Still love it but I'm not out every weekend). I have moved to a different country (Sweden) and that really made my a humble person making me look at both at my upbringing, habits as well as the social norms of being an English man. Then coming back home to find most of my friends moved on to different things, Family doing a lot of their own things and the world I left behind for ever changed.

Most men will tell you that their girl/wife changes their man to suit themselves BUT I have to say its different for me. Fluff has pushed me to be a better man then I thought a thick shit like me could be but at the same time She has kept my grounded and kept me balanced and happy. I have started college and am now trying to live my dream of being a pro photographer, something I could have never have hoped for in the past.

I hope that I have done the same for her but I just felt that I needed to say this... the people closest to us will always push us into being better people but you will only change if you want to.

Don't fight the change and embrace it... If we all were perfect then we could all stay the same, never change or evolve. Sorry but that would be a very sad and boring day indeed.

Mummy's Birthday

With dads done you know mum's is on the way.... its really sweet as I know how close my folks are that I think its even sweeter that there birthdays are only 5days apart as well.

As today was a weekend mum wanted to put on a party for the family. with loads of food and some Wii play it was a really good time, shame I had to leave early as I could have stayed alot longer then I could.

Birthday Girl

With everything that been happening of late its really nice to spend loads of time together. With the Wii that we got mum for Christmas got some of its gears working tonight, With the to new toys (Wii Fit & Just Dance) got everyone's blood pumping.

Bouncing to "Cotton Eye Joe" and "Eye of the Tiger"

Paul, The Movie

After my dads party. Fluff and I went to Brixton's Ritzy to see Paul.

Its funny if you like cult films... Its funny if you like Brit comedy's and its funny if you just love to laugh. If you have seen Hot Fuzz or Shaun of the Dead then you are already wanting to see this... If you don't then you really don't know what your missing. I would not say that its better then the other 2 BUT its def part of the same family

Daddy's 58th

My dear old daddy-O hit 58 this week, With such a large number in the bank you would think he was slowing down in life but his always going round in ever decreasing circles.

With 2 new books from us and a new sander from the family, It should keep him busy a little longer!

A Week Of Birthdays

February is a busy month for birthdays, but the reason why its really bad for us is that we have both the dads(Fluffs and mine) and my mums within 2weeks of each other.

That's a lot of wrapping paper

Fluffie Tunes

Random track from Top gear but Fluff know the tune... Well done Fluff

Lightroom 3... ITS GOOD!!

With more work tonight on the shots from the Christianing , I'm finding it nice to work with the new lightroom that I go the other day... Lightroom 3 has a few new toys over it then the one I had before.

With an added Noise Reduction and Sharpening tools (the 2 reason's why I got it) I think its faster and has alot more in it then you would think, Def worth the £60 to update from LightRoom2. Its really helping with the shots from the Christianing the other week, I'm just putting the final touches to some more of the pics and have the total now down below 100 pics.

Favourite at the mo is this one below!

Funny Memory's

When I was a kid I loved anything about Egypt. My dad had books and I loved to find out anything and everything about one of the first Civilization's in the world.

I was just telling Fluff that as a kid I saw Tutankhamun's faceplate at the britishmuseum.

BUT!

Its turns out that I did not, the Exhibition run between 30 March – 30 December 1972 and I was

born in 1984.

Dont you think that it is very funny that the mind can really play tricks on you, I could have sward that I saw it, I have memorys of going with my dad and with my school and seeing the Egyptian Exhibition back in the late 80/early 90s...

I still to this day wear my ankh, and not for the modern day Pagan/Goth

version of it but the Egyptian one meaning eternal life
