Click..before...click...after...

So my studio is now working, and apart from the odd final little piece is totally usable. Its been a little bit of a slog but now its there. So with Motorcross well underway and weddings getting a bit of praise, I can now work open up to a little studio photography.

If anyone remembers the original pictures of the studio in its past life as a community centre IT room, its now looking slightly different.

cheers

Photo painting

I've been working with local artist Stephen Williamson to produce some prints of some of the great work he's done. He specialises in portraits and landscapes using acrylics and recently decided to turn hobby into some income.

Working with Stephen, I've been photographing and reprinting many works including, Warkworth, Alnmouth, Bambrough and of course our own little bay of Newbiggin.

You can find Stephen's work on show at the Newbiggin Arts Centre every Saturday between 10am & 4pm. (Sat Navvies punch in NE64 6PY).

They don't make 'em like they used to....

Saturday unfortunately saw a bit too much rain for MX to go ahead, so I came across a sign saying "Vintage Rally" and thought, 'well why not'.

Here's a small selection of the rain soaked golden oldies from the glory days of transport.... Enjoy.

Hard as Nails...

Here's a new line of pictures I never thought i'd find myself in, but it appears that Nail Art and competitions are taken very very seriously. I would have posted these pics sooner but as its so competitive I had to wait until the contest in Jesmond was over.

Debbie came 2nd over all for her Egyptian theme which was part of the larger category of hot summer, and although they never placed (bit of shifty judging apparently haha) I still quite like them, and so does she which is the main thing... Anyway, here's some fine nail art for you to admire.

The smell of varnish has finally gone from my studio, nail technicians always smile like that, because they're high!!!

All about the little people..

The Facebook group is growing and growing, which is excellent.

The studio is finished so expect some leaflets coming through your door if you live near by.

Here's a couple of pics from my first kids sitting....never work with this many children and try and get them all to look the same way....... Jelly with a fork!!!

Zombie Nation

Yup, Sunday 12th July saw Manchester city centre over run with the undead in an attempt to break the world record for the most zombies in one place..... unfortunately, the official headcount was 160 short of the 1200 and odd target. However, the police headcount put the undead numbers over 1500, which would have smashed the record but some people just came along for the fun and forgot to register.


October see's another attempt to break the record currently held by Nottingham.


Anyway, here's come pics of the gruesome event, hope you enjoy them. Big thanks to Carl Whiteley the organiser who did a great job and also invited me down to be his photographer and a big shout to my mate Andy who let me stay at his house to save a few sheckles.
