Marrakech!!

A couple of months ago I was lucky enough to go to Marrakech for a few days with my parents. Had a great time and loved the culture - the food, the languages, the hospitality, the bartering in the market place (not so enjoying the pushiness of some salesmen though!!!). Here are some photos of
my adventures.....

Simple yet brilliant

It's often the simplest ideas that are the best. Here's a link to a great little art project http://recoveringlazyholic.blogspot.com/2009/07/never-ending-polaroid-project.html

An afternoon walk

Anyone else finding the current weather a little depressing? I finally have lots of free time to go and take pictures but instead I'm stuck at home sheltering from the rain!!!
Here's some pictures from a few afternoon walks with friends back when there was still sunshine. Just a little reminder that we do occasionally have good weather in England!!

Listen to this...

Fun with Gaby

My lovely exhousemate Gaby came to visit for a few days a while ago and we decided to have some fun with my camera. We just took silly fashion shots round my house. The results turned out pretty well though. I'd love to do more stuff like this so if anyone is ever up for modeling just drop me an email.
Here's just a few of the pics. If you want to see the whole album then ask me and I'll give you a link for it.

Studio shoot part 2

As well as using my housemates as models, some friends of ours had asked if we'd do some couples shots of them. Matt and Nay showed up in their wedding attire and we had a great fun evening with them taking lots of pictures. Here's just a couple of them...

Studio shoot

A few of us decided to set up a photography club to get together, exchange tips and go take pics together. (Our facebook site is http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=53167017867&ref=ts ). Just after I got my D80 we arranged a studio session together round our house using a friends studio equipment. I got my housemates to pose as models and then the photo club guys piled round ours and started snapping away. I was only just getting used to my camera and the studio stuff was new to all of us except Stu. But I got some pretty ok pics. Here's just a few. If you'd like to see the full album from the shoot then drop me an email and I'll give you the link for it.
