Organised my 24Mbit, unlimited adsl connection today...

Uploaded a few blogpics,

Flooded and wet? where? oh wait, outside. :lol:

Seriously though, Thursday-Sunday I am booked in for Stratford-Upon-Avon which is under water... Grandparents have to attend a wedding there, (guess there's already a photographer :p) - 1D worked well, pretty happy with photos..

Had a job interview already, and several contacts made, after I just uploaded my CV to monster.co.uk
This job was quite local, customer account manager.
Got a phone interview Thursday for Heathrow Express train company. And most calls been regarding team leader roles. I don't want too much responsibility though, something flexible, or even temp work so I can travel a bit.

Thanks SS
Funny thing is, government still looking at building 3 million new homes on these flood plains. Ludicrous.

*yawn* - it's not even lunchtime and I'm tired ;)


Nice pic Jo - very warm looking

Well had discussion with my wife last night. Night shift is taking its toll. So I figured that I dont need a 500/600 new F4 lens. Instead I figured she could reduce her hours.

I will keep an eye out for a second hand one.

Makes it hard when your at the top of the ladder you get used to the money.
But there is a price to pay.

Portrait, fashion and (cough, spit) glamour photographers amongst you. Any tips on shooting a model on a beach for a thing I have on Sat? Trying to go earthy girl, casual and keeping clothes on! :p

Advice welcome from anyone who's done anything like it before is welcome. :)


Cheers, Dave.
