When a Photo-Bomb make the picture

Leave a Comment
When I travel, I love to take photographs, and not just quick snaps, I love to be creative.
Unfortunately I do tend to create a huge backlog of work that needs processing, ie. I have a blog post that has been a work in progress for at least 2 years from our trip to St Louis Arboretum. I'll get to it someday.
But anyway, the bane for all of us, es...

Not a Simulation?

An unusual blog post this month - something weird and philosophical perhaps. OK, truth is I can sometimes be a total brat and enjoy messing with people, particularly I like messing with folks who can be a bit pompous, ie. I remember half listening to a college student talking about whether we live in a computer simulation and he was saying that it...

Photographing the forgotten members of the Family - Your Pets!!
January 16, 2019

There are times when something can be staring you in the face, but you just does realise it - and then it hits you like a brick! We always talk about photographing family, catching that natural look and personality, but it did not occur to me that we often overlook some members of our families. Family members that we often love just as much as we l...

Always been on the lookout for some nice portrait & boudoir furniture for several years, things were either way over priced or terrible condition. But found these 3 items at an estate sale. Excellent condition.
A stunning pair of His & Hers reproduction antique armchairs
and the matching couch (perfect for lounging or that seductive sprawl, o...

Wildlife in the Garden

Sorry it has been a while since I did a blog post, so here is a brief one.
I have to admit our back garden is a total mess. I don't really have much of a green thumb, plus the fact that here in central Texas for most of the year the weather is set to "Broil" so any attempt to do any gardening or even enjoy the garden will usually result in me coll...

More fun & unusal things to do in Austin

Last May, I wrote about the delight of visiting a Synagogue and participating in the transcribing of a new Torah.
Well during the first weekend of November is when the Pow-wow is in Austin. If you have never been, it is a wonderful experience. A pow-wow is a coming together of Native Americans/ First Nation of various tribes for celebration and co...

Happy "Brexit 1776"

Growing up in the UK, there was never an actual day of "National Identity", the closest we got was "Bonfire Night" on November 5 where we celebrate the attempt to assassinate the King and Parliament, but it certainly was not a national public holiday (Its a British thing, part of our sense of humour, just roll with it)..
But it was a totally diffe...

Trying out a new Studio in South Austin
June 26, 2017
•
Leave a Comment
Now, while I can have clients come over to my humble (and somewhat cluttered) abode for a photoshoot, we do not have a dedicated space that allows us to get truly creative. Yes, we can handle family shoots, headshoots/portraits and boudoir, but for something really elaborate, to really push the skills a studio would be nice.
And finding a suitable...

This is Gay-Pride month where many cities around the world celebrate inclusiveness and collectively thumb their noses at... well, no need to go there I guess, lest I offend.
Anyway, for one reason or another I have never been to a Gay Pride Parade - I don't actually recall seeing any or whether there were any during the time I lived in London or O...

Here for the Summer

One of the activities I get to do each year is photograph the new crop of fresh faced interns for the program that my Wife Runs. It is always fun to watch these fresh faced youngsters arrive in Austin and then as the summer goes on, grow close together until the end of the program when its time to wrap up. As part of the wrap up, they get to travel...

Maker Faire - how does your garden grow.

I love Austin Maker Faire. Its more than an "Arts and craft" fair, while there are vendors there, they are also about demonstrating and how to explore creative side. But essentially it is where all the geeks gather and get to show of their projects not only to each other, but to the general public in order to pass on that inspiration - and to fan t...

A Victorian Flash Crowd for April Fools..

Believe me, the title is accurate.
Last Weekend we were in St Louis for a 1860’s period ‘ball’ and to meet up with some very dear friends of ours. Part of the planned event was a daytime activity so that folks could show of their daytime Victorian Garb, and an evening Ball where the real finery comes out on display. For this year, the St Louis M...

Well first off I need to apologize for being somewhat tardy in my blog posts, I had planned on writing this post a few days after Valentines day. A few folks liked the Valentines picture I had posted, and thank you for the feedback, but I must admit I did make several mistakes with it. Once I started processing it, I realized that I had made an err...

Happy Valentines Day everyone.
When I was growing up there was not much of a deal around Valentines Day, this was in the UK in the 1970's so that may be as good an explanation as any.
The only "Valentines Day" thing we ever did in Junior School (erm, I think that is K thru 7th grade? None of this modern stuff thank you). Anyway, all of us in clas...
