This week I'll sign up for my week with Jerry Ghionis in Brisbane.  He is the worlds leading photographer in many fields and I am looking forward to working with him in such a small group for a week.  Can't wait!

Thanks to Andrea for acting a liaison to get my pictures to the board of judges who will Judge my images for my qualification as a Licentiate for the SWPP.  I  really appreciate her work and her great advice and teachings.

Don't want to brag but I won an awards in the 2011 March competition for the Societies competition. SWPP awarded a silver for a wedding portrait I did and I also had a bronze for a wildlife picture of a dragonfly.  As I don't enter competitions much I was really pleased.  The silver could yet be re graded as a gold later in the year.

Fantastic time at the SWPP Societies Convension.   Its great to mix with some of the best photographers in the world.   I met David Williams one of the worlds most famous photographers and did a whole day with Jerry Ghionis, photographer of the year in London.   What an experience!

Since getting back to the Isles of Scilly I have been busy setting up my new office with a New Apple Imac and Mac book Pro.   Now everything is working together with my PCs life is a little less stressfull.   Tomorrow I have a meeting with the new owner of St Marys Hall Hotel, here on St Marys   and we are going to talk about a large commission for images.   I'm also hoping to gain a commission with the Tourist information Centre for a new supple of images for them.   Last week I shot for Event Scilly and Event Cornwall....some PR shots on Town Beach.

Next week I'm back into my wedding photography with Victoria and Nick.   Two shoots, one on St Marys and one on Tresco in the Flying Club and St Nicholas Church.

The Spring and Summer bookings are coming in and I'm really looking forward to getting out and making new images. My ambition this year is to capture these beautiful English islands at their best.   And to   make some beautiful   portraits of people I meet.

Hi All

Had a great time on Tresco at the weekend and had an opportunity to shoot the Steam Band...well some one had to!!  See Steam Band on my site.
