Had a really busy summer, and looking back through all of the photographs that I have made this year (I can tell they are this years as they are in the 09 folder) it’s apparent that the majority of the work is for other people.

Now this isn’t a bad thing in a way, but I do like taking photos for myself as well, as deliberate practice helps you to improve and then you can use that when customers come along.

I have a wedding to photograph tomorrow, then a couple of weeks with no bookings, so i plan to use that time to do some of my own stuff – plus it’s a good excuse to get out of the house and get some exercise which always helps with the waistline.

I did go out last week in Oxford with my old pentax film camera, and that was a thoroughly enjoyable experience and really relaxing, good company as well as my wife Sandie was with me – haven’t got a clue what the pictures look like, as I haven’t had them developed yet, but when I do, Ill put some up here and write a little about them – that way I won’t forget what I was thinking when I took them.

Looking forward to me time
