HALLOWEEN


So you’ve got your fancy dress costume ready for Halloween, for tomorrow night or the weekend’s celebration. You’ve invited all you friends booked your taxi and the excitement is rising, the big day comes the taxi arrives and of you go to meet your friends. It’s a fantastic night lots of fun you have a laugh drink a little too much, get home a little too late, Happy Halloween.

     Then its next morning you’ve got a bit of a bad head and a fancy dress costume, if you drink plenty of water that will fix the head but what do you do with the fancy dress costume, well what about this for an idea. One of the things that Topshots has become well known for is its fancy dress pin-up shoots. Pin-up shoots are lots of fun and a good way to get more out of your fancy dress costume you can have an individual shoot or get together with some of your friends. This is a particularly good idea as you can all come together and this will help to spread the cost although the cost of a pin-up shoot is not something that would break the bank.

LEATHER BARS by GRAFEA

Leather Bags by Grafea

I was just looking for a camera bag when I found this web site for designer bags
this is what Grafea say about their self's  

Here at Grafea we love bags. We really do. We love music, vintage shops, blue skies, open sea, the ocean blue. We love camera bags, the perfect shot, capturing the moment.

The story begins when our founder Hari landed in the artistic hub of Manchester, England as an aspiring musician. In her spare time she hunted for vintage accessories and clothing, some thing she had always loved. One of her earliest memories is dressing up with her mothers vintage collection of bags. It was like a treasure hunt and one requires a discerning eye to see the special amid all the junk. Gradually buying and selling vintage items became a full time job in itself. But she found herself wanting something more. To create something special rather than just search for that one thing in the jumbles of all the unwanted. One day she found herself admiring the style, quality and workmanship of a vintage satchel and wondering why they were only in flea markets and charity shops. Was it possible to create a beautiful leather bag, that some one else could appreciate in say 60 or 70 years time? So in 2005 Hari decided to take the plunge and start a leather satchel line herself.

It's Not a Photograph Until It's Printed

Photo By
Topshots

                                                    It’s Not a Photograph Until It’s Printed

You may think that’s obvious or you could disagree completely however with all the different gadgets that contain a camera, today it seems to be that more and more pictures are been taken but not printed.

So does it matter, well there are certainly more pressing and important questions than that, however if you are one of the millions of people with a camera in your phone or some other device, it’s something you should at least think about.

I can hear you now, “why I just tack a photo on my phone and I have it with me all the time” that’s defiantly true however consider this, how many of those photos would you have enlarged, framed and put on the wall in you front room. Now you may say, “I’ve got thousands of them on my phone even if I could afford to print them all I don’t have the wall space” also true, however I’ll bet there are one or two that you love.

Well wouldn’t it be nice to make the effort to tack them of your phone and get them printed and framed so you can display them on the wall, as a professional photographer I can tell you there’s nothing like seeing you pictures on someone’s wall so why not give it a go? You will probable love the result and if you don’t have a photograph you think you would like on your wall maybe you could ask a professional photographer to do a shoot for you, he or she will be happy to do that and will be proud to see his or her work on your wall I know I would be.  www.haveashoot.co.uk

KATIE & MATT


Had so much fun doing this shoot with Katie & Matt they are such a fun couple and we got sum amassing photos. It wasn’t all plane sailing though there was quite a wind at the time my, assistant Ken couldn’t keep hold of the reflector and Katie’s hair was all over the place. Even in this photo she is struggling to keep it out of her face, however it adds to the look of the whole thing, as soon as I saw it I felt it had the feel of one of those film noir movies from back in the day ones I made it black & white I liked it so much I put it on my web site.
