Live at last!

Live at last.

 Finally after much deliberation and consternation I have my new website live. Who would have thought a simple website would take such a long time to get sorted, and still with bits and pieces to fix. However, I must thank Fraser Halley the developer for his patience, and dealing with my whims and fancies with good grace.

The pictures are quite big and when viewed on slideshow they really look well. Downside is those who are viewing on older overworked computers may experience the photographs taking a little time to load up.

It has been a busy start to the year for food and drink photography. I was down at Bath to photograph wine for Farmison, I had never been to Bath so I was looking forward to seeing the place, unfortunately we arrived in the dark photographed all next day and left in the dark. Oh well, next time maybe. 

Up to Aviemor for Hilton and the drive was spectacular, snow covered hills and good visibility and even a little sun now and then...beautiful, all the times I drive to the Highlands and I am never bored. Photographing the new restaurant in the Hilton Coylumbridge and a little food photography, and really good it was too.

Spent Sunday at the Barras- Glasgow flea market for the uninitiated-trying to find some vintage pieces for future food shoots, and managed to find a couple of items which will find there way into photographs at some point. Its not easy, believe it or not, to come across really nicely aged/distressed wood. So when I saw a traders table that looked the part I immediately offered to buy it, however negotiations did not go well. Basically I would have to buy all the stuff on the table as well, “am no sellin’ af the flair sun”  Fair enough I suppose. No sale this time, might come back to that one.
