It's all passing me by..

How weird last night to have no football to watch although, to be honest, I'm kinda glad I've no longer got an interest in Euro 2012. Apart from anything, it was costing me a fortune. It's those bloody ads on ITV, isn't it? I just can't help myself! I've already put down-payments on an Audi, a Qashquai and two Citroens, lost four thousand quid on online betting and picked me out two of those tasty little brown Macdonalds player escort kids to adopt over the coming winter! I just wish, wish, wish I could get excited about the Olympiczzz now or hey, even the tennis, but I can't and I feel such a failure! I mean, think of all the people that are turning out just to watch the Olypiczzz torch. They can even get excited about a lit stick being jogged past 'em? It's beyond me!

I've had an offer from a magazine to review my book 'Don't Miss This' .. a copy's going off in the post to them today so stay tooned! Today's photograph is another one of my Olympus XA shots. Remembrance Day parade, circa 1985.

Happy Tuesday, folks!

Alright, my sun? ..

What a weekend! Two fantastic Weddings, temperatures in the high eighties, The Hump going down in flames and England beating the entire Rest of the World 3-1 at football !! Ok, the footy was only the Robbie Williams charity match at Old Trafford, but it bodes well for Euro 2012 when I hope we can get revenge for the Europeans giving such dismal votes to poor old Englebert Humperdinck, who got trounced in the Eurovision Song Contest and came second to last!

My Weddings were both amazing at the weekend, and gave me a real challenge with the unbelievable amounts of light bouncing off the lovely white brides' dresses! However, speaking of bouncing light .. I'd planned to do a shot at the front of the Belle Epoque brasserie during Saturday's Wedding, but when I checked out the view before the ceremony it was absolutely drowned in dazzling light with the sun shining straight into my fish-eye lens. One hour later though and the great Greek God of Photography, Correctius Aperturius, smiled sweetly on me and got me the shot I'm showing you today. Not only had the sun moved behind the building, but it was reflecting off a shop front across the road and lighting the exact spot I wanted to place the Bride and Groom! Now what are the chances of that happening?
