New Website

A short and sweet, belated piece on my new website and online portfolio.  It took a lot of fiddling about and for someone like me who seems to be stuck in a technological age when Napster and ICQ was the sh*t, I am really happy with the outcome.  I used online portfolio builder Viewbook (www.viewbook.com) and what sold it for me was the gallery layout.  If you're looking for a good, clean template with an intermediate level of customisation, give this a go.

More colour...

...but this time, in a cemetery.  We shot at Abney Park Cemetery, Stoke Newington with pieces from Isabel Fishlock's collection.  Olivia brought some appropriately styled gingerbread men.  It was a good day.  I even managed a nap (I was meant to be minding the stuff though.  Nothing was stolen, so I feel I can say this now). Yui worked her prop magic and created some awesome flowers which appeared to be on steroids (they were crazy, we could not control them).  Here are some of my snaps. What I did not manage to take a photo of was that crazy stick twirling guy.


Yui's creations


The thing about cemeteries is that branches get in the way


Somewhere in that pile of stuff are Olivia's gingerbread men


Lovely Hannah May


It looks really pretty, but I would never sit there...


Those flipping branches again
