Whilst Amy was out meeting new clients and generally working hard, I had a quiet day doing some odd jobs, walking the dog and watching ‘U2 Live in Chicago’ :) I did venture out with a camera down onto the beach for a while. Amongst other things, I was attracted to the lines of the sand ripples and the way the sun was highlighting them; however, in portraiture, so much of the time is spent shooting wide open, that it becomes a habit. I think this could have done with a greater depth of field amongst other things – ah well :) -AT
I’ve been working for a while to create a new website for some friends of ours. They run a Kennels business and I was convinced that a blog would be the perfect web front for it. iMAG1NE being able to logon whilst you are away on holiday and (possibly) see the odd photograph of your dog/cat! I am convinced it will be a great asset for them, generating new clients and enhancing what they already offer to current ones. Believe me, they deserve every ounce of success considering the work they put into their business and their concern for the welfare of their residents.
You’ll notice the similarity of the site (as I used my own blog as a template). Best of luck Chrissie & Rob – hope it works for you! -AT

Happy Birthday to me..! This time of year seems to come around quicker and quicker. Pick of the gifts received today, were two books of Bryan Adams’: Haven & American Women. Both contain photographs of women and were produced to raise funds for various cancer charities. Better known as a rock star, Bryan is also an incredibly gifted photographer. -AT
It has been quite a long time since I looked at Google Earth. At that time there weren’t many detailed photographs to view. I was reading Steve Brennan’s blog (a fellow photographer) yesterday and he mentioned how good it had become. Being an inquisitive sort, I gave it another go and I’ve barely stopped playing with it ever since! Some of the photographs are quite old but I can clearly see our house – conservatory, garden shed and even the skylight windows in the roof – fascinating stuff!
Have a look at Sydney if you get the chance – the quality of air ensures that the photographs there are extremely sharp. – AT
We went to see Memoirs of a Geisha last night – the film based on the novel by Arthur Golden. It’s a wonderful film from a photography point of view; beautifully shot – much of it in low light. Recommended. – AT
