Happy New Year

Self Portrait!

My beautiful boy.

OK so I know it's a bit late to be saying Happy New Year but it's the first time I've blogged this year so there you go.

I had to take a picture of myself for a photography group that I belong to based in the US (check it out via DaneSanders.net) and so sat in my kitchen trying to get the window light on a particularly gloomy day with my camera at arms length. After a bit of photoshop massaging this is the one I am happiest with. The picture of Angus is just cos I love him.

As this is really the down time in a photographers season I'm going to set myself a project to photograph something a bit obscure to try and stretch myself. As we have a proliferation of electricity pylons in Essex I'm going to try and make them look beautiful. Please if you have any suggestions let me know.
