Update

Apologies for the lack of blog posts recently but things are a little hectic in not-so-sunny Hatfield!

For those of you that don't know or haven't heard on the proverbial grapevine, Paul and I are moving to Cyprus on 31st January '08. Needless to say, the next couple of months are going to be busy with organizing everything, tying up loose ends, packing and finishing up client orders.

Paul can't wait to get back "home" whereas I'm excited but also a little apprehensive about the move. The last time I lived in Cyprus was about 7 years ago and when we left, it literally took me 5 years until I could face going back there again (and that was only because my sister-in-law was getting married!).

Anyway, enough chit, chat... back to doing some print orders.....

Oh, one last thing... we still haven't sold our house... anyone in the market for a house in the UK?!

AWPS

We were recently invited to be come members of a relatively new society called the Artistic Wedding Photographers Society. The AWPS is an "association of wedding photographers who produce consistently amazing artistic wedding day photography as recognized by their peers. Only wedding photographers who meet the high standards of this organization are members. Membership is by invitation only."

We feel incredibly honored and privileged to have been invited into this elite group of highly creative photographers. Thank you!

not Your Usual Holiday Snapshots

If you've been reading the blog instead of just looking at the photos, you'll know that I was in Cyprus in October. Normally when I'm there, it's a matter of catching up with relatives, sorting out business and eating far too much but this time round I was with a friend so whilst showing her around I actually took the camera out with me (it's sad that I don't normally) and shot off a couple of digital cards!

If you're expecting to see the usual snapshots of the beach, you'll be disappointed! I shot very random things like Coca Cola tables, doors, a few villagers from where my dad was born, old buses & cars. Image 3 is censored... the old guy is posing with his Playboy magazine (actually it wasn't his, it was the village idiot's - yes, that isn't a myth, they do quite literally exist)!

Sadly the last image is one of a few that my uncle sent me to photograph - the dog has been chained up constantly on this dry, dusty piece of rock, with barely any shade for the past few years and my uncle wanted a couple of photos to make a complaint to the government. Incidentally, he's had two dogs poisoned by the villagers.... :(

Ten Today!

Tyson is 10 today!

The first time I ever saw Tyson, my first words were, "eeewwwww, he's ugly"! Paul & I hadn't planned on getting a dog - it pretty much just happened and 9 1/2 years later, I can't imagine being without him (Paul maybe, but not Tyson... JOKE! REALLY!).

One thing Tyson really seems to dislike is having his photo taken. He turns his head away and refuses to look in my direction if there's a camera in front of my face! I have a secret weapon though ... pate!! Here are a few shots of Tyson from this afternoon at the grand old age of 10 dog years/70 human years:

I snagged two presale tickets!

No prizes for guessing who I'm talking about! Uh huh... we're going to see Bon Jovi AGAIN!!

These were shot while I was in Cyprus a month ago but yesterday was the first chance I've had at editing them & then finishing them off today.
