Men's Space Calendar 2019, St Richard's Hospice
Had a lovely day yesterday at St Richard's Hospice for the launch of the new 2019 Men's Space Calendar. Myself and fellow photographer Rose Finch, were responsible for all the photographs in the calendar which were taken over a series of days during the summer at various venues, including several within the Hospice grounds, the Morgan Motor Company Ltd, Mzuri Ltd, Hereford & Worcester Fire & Rescue Service, the Chequers at Crowle and Croome Court. Each photograph featured the well know "giraffe" in every shot. The calendars will be on sale at St Richard's Hospice at £7.50 each. All proceeds will go to St Richard's Hospice.
New Galleries and Photos
Just spent the last week creating two new galleries:" Creative" and "Triptychs & More". Have also added more images to other galleries including "Of Days Gone By" in the Monochrome Gallery (see photo). Hope you enjoy looking through them.
Kemerton WI Calendar
Congratulations go to the ladies of Kemerton WI for selling all of their 2017 "Calendar Girls" style calendar and being able to present the two charities, St Richards Hospice and Guideposts, with a cheque for the total amount of £2,350. This was done last Thursday at The Crown Inn at Kemerton. I was so pleased to be one of two photographers responsible for all the photographs in the calendar. A great set of hard working ladies to work with.
Kemerton WI 2017 Calendar
Had great fun and satisfaction from being involved with the ladies of Kemerton WI to help produce their 2017 calendar. Myself and fellow photographer, Rose Finch, never having done anything quite like this before, were a bit apprehensive beforehand, as I think were the WI ladies themselves! It took great courage to bare all in front of two strangers but after we got the first "month"under our belt we all relaxed and a great time was had by all! The shoot was done over two separate days in June and July and proved quite a challenge at times especially when trying to replicate Christmas in June or Bonfire night in July!
The Calendar was eventually finished and printed and the launch was last night at The Crown in Kemerton. Great coverage by BBC Hereford & Worcester, BBC Radio Gloucester, Evesham Journal and the Gloucester Echo all came and took even more photographs and interviewed us all for broadcasting this morning and for publication in the next editions.
Well done to Linda, Kim and Pam, for all their hard work (along with the rest of the ladies of the WI) in coming up with the ideas, the props, the venue and most of all the camaraderie as a result of this great experience! It was a privilege to be involved and all proceeds from the sale of this calendar will be shared between St Richards Hospice and Guide Posts charities.
Short Break to Snowdonia
Two days spent near Dolgellau photographing the autumn colours and waterfalls. Spent about five hours the first day in the forest taking photos down by the river, staying until after it had gone dark to try some "painting with light". Tripod, slow shutter speed and torches - great fun, here is one of the photos that had been "painted with light".
