A VERY SAD DAY ...

This morning I woke up the very sad news that David Bowie has passed away. I had to have a moment to myself as it bought a tear to my eye. I've been a big fan ever since the Ziggy days and I don't think there has been a week over many years that I haven't played a Bowie track.

My favourite Bowie tune? How on earth do you choose? It could be Time or Five Years or Starman or Heros or the cover of Velvet Undergrounds White Light / White Heat. In fact it could almost be anything he did back in the 70's!

A tragic loss - his music will live on forever.

SALE NOW ON ...

For a limited time only, until January 28th I’m having a sale at the studio (38, Market Street, Ely).
Lots of Landscape photographs, both framed and mounted at daft prices.

GREAT QUOTATION

So I've just been browsing the net, as you do. I was looking for a bit of history relating to past local photographers and came across this quote which I thought was very apt:
"The photographer who is also an artist has a great advantage over the photographer who is merely a mechanic."
How true, anyone can point a camera (or phone) at something and press the shutter button and take a snap shot, but a true photographer will craft the image.

CHRISTMAS CUT-OFF DATE FOR PORTRAIT PRODUCTS.

CHRISTMAS CUT-OFF DATE FOR PORTRAIT PRODUCTS

If you are thinking of getting some family or kids portraits done for Christmas best you get your skates on! The cut-off date in order to get your products before Christmas is this Friday 4th December. You can still have your portrait session after this but I can't guarantee (and it's very unlikely) you will get your products before Christmas.
So this means you need to book your portrait photo session this week and do your viewing and choose your products by Friday!
