Kenya honeymoon shots
Friday, October 20th, 2006Armed with only a small digital Canon Ixus, we were probably the least qualified in terms of adequate photographic equipment to be on safari in Kenya. Still, when your subject gets close enough to the safari van to take a picture like this, with no need for an impressive zoom lense, you can imagine how […]
Ahh, now that’s more like it
Friday, October 20th, 2006Middle of the week and the blue skies have returned. Okay, it’s a picture simply to show that the flip flops bought at Gatwick duty free shopping, could at last be used. Blue sky. Lots and lots and lots of it. I know I know, this isn’t the real Kenya, certainly not the full story. […]
Rain rain rain rain rain
Wednesday, October 18th, 2006Hmmm, isn’t East Africa supposed to be one of the most dry regions of the world? We arrived in Mombasa to find the roads flooded and that world aid was being called for to handle the problem. As anyone who has transitted through Mombasa will know, the road infrastructure is not exactly what we have […]
Our wedding day!
Saturday, October 14th, 2006As I said in my groom’s speech, sometimes it feels as if we’re on the set of ‘Four Weddings,’ or a case of ‘always the bridesmaid and never the bride.’ So it’s with a wide beaming smile that I can announce that today, October 14th 2006, Breathe got married. All the cliches are true. The […]
Why the feathers though?
Tuesday, October 10th, 2006This is Andy Watts, a printer and paper merchant in Newbury. He features in our Best of Newbury exhibition as, well, himself. This is pretty much his character. We wanted a shot that showed what he did, but of course, also his personna. He’s the joker at the company Appleprint and takes any opportunity to […]
Lina
Sunday, October 8th, 2006TFP is the phrase used in modelling terms as ‘time for prints.’ In other words the model gives his or her time free, in return for print copies, or a CD of the shoot. It’s a superb way for both parties to test their skills and experiment new lighting set ups etc. Russian model Lina […]
Up the A11
Saturday, October 7th, 2006Years ago when I worked in broadcasting, I used to travel the A11 between Cambridgeshire and Norwich for a regular show on BBC Radio Norfolk. One week to the day before our own wedding, (we work as a partnership in every way,) and we were on the road to a village just outside Norwich to […]
I’m the firestarter…
Thursday, October 5th, 2006Funny what you learn about people when they turn up to sit for a portrait. Marketing company MD, Bill Hicks turned out to have quite a few unrelated skills. Seems he learned a few circus skills some years back, including juggling, escapology, and firebreathing! Blog and photo (c) Neale James, Breathe Pictures.
