Sunny Mildenhall....!!!

Well, I'm currently on a train destined (eventually) for Newmarket. Tomorrow see's me in the rather tasty jump covered track of Mildenhall for a days photo training with Adam Duckworth form Factory Media and other such delights.

Hopefully, weather permitting we'll get some nice motorcross pics in and I'll come back a better informed man with regards to MX Photography.

Looking out of the window, I have to be honest and say, I wish I'd remembered my waterproof jacket :(

Pics (hopefully) to follow.

NEMXC hits Rowley!

YEY..the MX season has finally, after few weather hitches, kicked off again.

I unfortunately missed Round 1 for NEMXC due to a bit of last minute relocation, but Round 2 saw a slightly sludgy few corners on a relatively lively track at Rowley, Co Durham last Sunday.

Thanks to some technical mayhem of corrupted memory cards and some auto focus malfunctioning, I lost a few images, but still managed to salvage a few hundred from the day.

Here's a few bits of the action.


(first bend or 'the hole' took a few victims)



(Nice and sloppy near the centre of the track)


(Some of the new generation found the track challenging, but still put together some good rides)

Skate Park Sunshine with Zoe C

Well, from 4 shows of dancing, to a sunny afternoon in the skate park with one Miss Zoe C.

After a few shots in the studio, it was off upto the Skatepark for some outdoorsey stuff and a bit of off camera flashgun practice.

Enjoy.

Oh what a beaurtiful morrrrniiiiiinnnng!! Oh what a beautiful....yeah..enough!

Quickie today as I'm sorting out the pics from the last few days of dance shows (final night tonight).

Drove to the studio this morning with the windows down and sunglasses on. Am I in LA? no...dreaming?..No.... is it finally summer?...NO! 8 Degree, 8 degrees was all it took to leave the coat at home, don the sunglasses and roll down the windows.

The plus side...local MX trac, PJMX (Maverick Moto Parc) reopens next Sunday..GOOAL!

Its all about the dancing!

Well...I've been a bit manic lately, this weekend sees the MX start again, YEY and also a totally contrasting topic of dance shows. Thursday, Friday, 2 shows saturday and sunday (sunday following a days MX at Rowley) may see me sleep in monday morning, so maybe another letter about dropping Charlie off late at school will be coming my way ...OOOPS.

Anyway, couple of snaps from yesterdays show..there will be more to follow but i have to check as some of it involved minors and rules being rules...i gotta be careful.

If you're havin an event and want an awesome photographer haha.

Newbiggin, Scones.....and Monkey Bread!!!

Well...of all the things I thought I'd be doing on a Tuesday afternoon, photographing scones, wasn't one of them, but hey ho.


Yesterday saw Nevin's Nibbles/Nevin's Of Northumberland break the world record for the biggest scone menu with over 110 different varieties...my new favourite being 'Nevin's Little Poppet'.

If you want to sample some of their wares or want more info...visit www.sconemad.co.uk or get yourself down to Nevin's Nibble's opposite The Coble pub, at Newbiggin sea front.

As a special little extra, I was treated to the delight of 'monkey bread' which was, to say the least awesome!!

Cheers to Stu Redmond who helped with the photography for last night...sure he relished the chance to exercise his new camera anyway.
