Hull Trawler Challenge

Just a quick ‘heads up’ to say that on Thursday I’ll be launching the Hull Trawler Challenge to tie in with the Who Do You Think You Are? Live exhibition at London Olympia, where I’ll be helping out Pauline Prynne on her stand. Here’s a little preview…

Saving the best til last

After the phototrek had finished, I was just about to head off but noticed as the light was fading the clouds had lifted. I’m sure there’s Chinese proverb along the lines of the old saying ‘good things come to those who wait’….

Phototrek in the New Forest

The lonely life of the professional photographer!

Way back last summer the kids bought me a voucher for my 40th birthday to go on a phototrek in the New Forest. After a failed first attempt thanks to storms back in November, I finally made it down there.

The treks are organised by local photographers Ian Badley and Barry Whitcher, under the banner of www.photonewforest.com/.

Turned out to be a great day, and although we didn’t get much sunshine the weather stayed kind to us. Would recommend these New Forest phototreks to anyone, beginner or expert.
