Variety's the spice ..

Children and animals! Oh, and a casino, a restaurant, a corporate team building event and, erm .. 12 semi-naked grandmothers! The diary this week certainly makes for interesting reading, and I've definitely got a diverse and exciting five days ahead of me!

The children and animals? I'm off to do a PR shoot at a Riding Centre this afternoon. The casino and restaurant? That's a brochure for a venue in the middle of Manchester which has just opened its own James Martin restaurant. The team-building event is a half-day shoot for a rather large organisation which, last time, involved percussion lessons and some rather large bongoes! Speaking of rather large bongoes, we come to the grannies! They're from a Community Group in Eccles who are dressing down and lining up for their very own 'Calendar Girls' shoot, and aim to produce a calendar which they hope will raise funds for The Christie Hospital in Manchester. I'm only doing the recce this week, with the actual shoot to follow next week, but I can't wait! Interestingly, I'm also shooting a portrait this week for a - let's say .. senior - chap who wants a cool shot for a profile on an internet dating site. Maybe I can save him some dosh and fix him up with one of my 'models'? That'd spice up his life..
