We went up North for few days in August. It was nice to get away and the weather held out too. One thing I promised myself was to take more family shots, which usually I don’t do because I’m always looking to photograph other stuff but this time I did, so here it is. We don’t always look miserable, it was just one of those shots.

BMW Z4 Convertible, what can you say? Such a beautiful car, fantastic engineering and a pleasure to look at, i’m sure its nice to drive too. Anyway, i was playing assessing the photographic construct, i.e. background/lighting, of a number of these articles of entertainment, including a Mercedes SL Class and Porsche 911 Carrera, then i decided to just go with it on the floor. It took me back, and yes i did push them around and fake car crashes but hey, you do what you gotta do. Here’s the end result. Man, i love my job.

Back in May, I posted an image called ‘Plant Life,’ which you can see below. The seedling in the image is a tomato plant, in mid August the fruit started ripening. We tried a few and they were mouthwateringly delicious, lovely and sweet. After eating a couple and then feeling that I should have photographed them first, I waited another couple of weeks for some more ripe tomatoes. This is an image of the tomato 10 minutes off the plant, 10 minutes after the photograph was taken it was in my mouth, sweet.

This is a tomato plant in its infancy. It was quite difficult to photograph because of how delicate it was. When i took it out of its pot i really thought that the soil/compost would hold together, was i wrong, cue vacuum cleaner.

On 24th March 2011 Anna D Fields, (an artist) and OutroSlide.Photography were putting up the ‘Land of Hope & Glory’ exhibition at The Drum in Birmingham. I made this time time-lapse video, (my first), to document the process. It took 2 hours to put up the art and photographs and its been condensed down to 1 minute. Towards the end of the video a Salsa dancing class begins, so if you enjoy dancing lets say that we have a bonus feature for you at the end. Enjoy

‘Its rude to stare’, you’re told; sometimes you cant help it. You know you need to look away but it keeps drawing you back. Fortunately, I had my camera so I didn’t have to stare for long. So here it is the Maserati GranTurismo S. If you want more info on it, here’s the wiki, if you don’t just enjoy.
