Me too, and I thought I’d just be photographing people. It’s turned into an historical trail!

They’re a hybrid of real and PS. I’m shooting with low saturation on the Leica, then muting a little more still when back at base! I started today at minus 5, and the breezy chill made it even colder along the Danube. The M8 at best has average battery life, so it spends most of it’s time in my fleece!

Great shots, love the second to last image, the muted colours are beautiful.

Brilliant! I’m actually jealous. Although not good at being cold. Colours are fab- real or edited? Have fun today

Neal, what more could I expect?! Surely Bruno hasn’t been knighted though?

Pretty moving stuff Neale. I loved your openness and honesty in sharing your family memories and inspirations. But me being me, I can’t be truly sentimental without something of an edgy twist. So I leave you with this….it’s interesting to me that your father had VERY similar eyes to one Sir Bruno of Brookes according to his mince pie picture.

What can I say Neale? A truly moving and powerful piece of writing and a very evocative series of photographs too.

As a social media consultant I could talk about how powerful it is for a business, especially one providing a personal, even intimate, service like photography, to be personal and revealing like this. People buy people and a blog entry like this will establish a powerful connection with prospective and indeed existing customers. I could talk about that, but the truth is knowing Neale as I do, this is so not a marketing effort, but something truly straight from the heart.

I might have to start reading your blog with a box of tissues! After the previous post about capturing the incredible moment between a father and daughter on her wedding day… and now something as moving as this diary…

My own father died in 2003 and sadly never met my daughter before he passed so I can relate to the resonance that has for you Neale. I wrote him letters back then and sometimes still do, and for a journalist and writer who has had so much published, I do not think I could write the equivalent blog post with the same honesty and heartfelt candor as you have done here Neale.

Well done Neale. A truly inspirational and moving posting.

I’ve a few years before my seven-year-old daughter treats me to this!

Your wonderful words combined with those terrific photographs brought a lump to my throat and a tear to my eye! My God, I shall be a wreck come my turn!

Well done Neale!

The rebate is a PS addition. You know how you dip in and out of fav effects for a while Alex, that seems to have been mine for a while.

I am based in Thatcham too and these images strike the tone of the week for me!

One question though; did you shoot these on film, or have they been digitally montaged into an oversized neg-template border?

Speaking as a very much ex English teacher – damn, you do write well Mr NJ! And (never to be used to start a sentence) ‘here, here’ to the clergy comment! (Far too much use of the exclamation mark)
