Volunteer #2.. Step up....Hayley D.

The headshot marathon continues with Hayley taking the hot seat. Always a pleasure to photograph and always quick to critique my pictures and my photo style and manner without much encouragement haha.

But..thanks mrs, hope you like them.

The Lady De'Wessington

Thanks to Rebecca who took a little time out of her day for some headshots to help me out with something.... For someone so nervous about her pictures, i don't think there's any need to be.

Sculpture Snapping...

As you may know or indeed may not, my studio/room is inside the Newbiggin Arts Centre, Newbiggin by the sea... lately there's been some work on display by Tony Murray, who produces some unbelievable work using allsorts of stuff from string to some kind of wierd shiney paper...and tonnes of glue.

The painting on the wall of the dancers was actually used as a template for a free standing sculpture destined for Dance City, Newcastle. Once the sculpture itself was finished, Tony was kind enough to leave his work behind (probably not wanting to chip a wall away).

The free standing sculptures are currently on display in the upper floor of the main arts centre building, access here is a little trickier and it maybe worth while calling the arts centre on 01670 851833 or emailling enquiries@newbigginartsforum.org before you set off to see them.

Hope you enjoy the photos, but they don't do the sculptures real justice, the best way to see them is up close and personal, so get yourselves down.

argghhh first drama of 2010!

Well, barely 2 weeks in and the first drama of 2010 is upon us.. as is happening with people all over the country, the condenser pipe on my boiler has broken :( so a couple of spanners, a hacksaw and the braing pickings of some friends, its repaired wooo hooooo, lets see if it stays that way!



Marty

Ice Skating Anyone?

Yup... -9 temperatures saw the Wansbeck freeze like a good old fashioned thing that freezes!! 8:30 am found me trying to decide if i was stood on the river bank or the frozen river, so after snappin a few shots, I figured it was safer to retreat to guaranteed solid ground.

Let it snow let it snow....

FINALLY... we get some snow!! My landscape photography needs a polish up and snow scenes are always a winner. I wasn't quite expecting the amount of snow we got the other day, but it made everything look rather nice. It was suprising as being on the coast we normally only get a little smatter of the white stuff.

Here's a little view of Woodhorn church in it's new white blanket on New Years Day and also the memorial park in the centre of Newbiggin-By-The-Sea.
