Work, work, work...

Busy!..

Hardly had a minute to myself this weekend.. and I've loved it! I started off on Friday evening with a trip to Leeds to see renowned photographer Homer Sykes, a lovely geezer whose talk was fun, informative and well worth the journey. Next was Karen and Alun's 'kinda' Wedding Day in Liverpool. They'd already got married in Zambia last month so threw a big party at the city's Bluecoat Gallery for all their friends on Saturday. They're a fantastic couple and the whole event was an absolute blast! Just time then to drop their hundreds of shots onto the computer before I was off to Crewe Hall for its annual Autumn Wedding Fayre on Sunday. Pleased to say that went really well, and 130 couples came through the doors in the space of just five hours! Hi to you all! Today? Well, today I've got to edit all of Saturday's photographs, then I'm off into Manchester to cover two 'fringe' meetings at the Labour Party Conference. Last year I had to photograph Mike Batt and Feargal Sharkey. Wonder who I'll get this time! Tomorrow I'm off for a meeting with Blundells Hill Golf club to discuss photographing their new brochure, and then I'm shooting some ad shots for a local business park on Wednesday. I reckon I should get to eat by Thursday!

Oh, and Happy October to you all...

Odyssey for Homer...

Just to let you know, today's blog is really boring if you've never heard of Homer Sykes or Gerry Anderson! Don't say I didn't warn you! Yes, today I must travel far, for there is knowledge to be found in .. Leeds! The legendary Homer Sykes is giving a talk at the White Cloth Gallery in that there great city, and it will be worth the odyssey over the Pennines to hear from the master! Yes, I'd go that far. He's another of those photographers you'd never imagine you'd meet - a pillar of British documentary reportage photography - one of the guys whose photographs you've just known about and admired for absolutely years. I just hope he doesn't mention the Fall of Troy. As far as I know that meant they'd dropped one of the puppets during the filming of Stingray!

Well, I did warn you...
