To The Manor...

Just spent a very smashing night at Charingworth Manor, sandwiched between spending time in and around the really lovely and quite charming Chipping Campden. My wife really is fantastic (she made the booking), and with all that is going on at the moment, it was great to just be away from home.  It made for a very Happy Easter!

Wedding Photography...

...is really quite hard. M&E's wedding last weekend was superb. And I enjoyed taking photos, of which some of them even turned out to be quite reasonable.

But I think to be the wedding photographer would be far too stressful. It is difficult being in the right place at the right time to capture the casual moments, and often I'd see what would make a great photograph, but by the time I'd raised my camera, the moment had gone.  Added to that, quite naturally at weddings you want to talk to people and they want to talk to you. So you keep getting distracted from taking pitures, which I guess is why getting a stranger in to do the job isn't a bad thing.

Still, I enjoyed it, and really like my new flash for taking photos indoors. Wish I knew how to use it properly though....

Tempting...

Just received this email:

Not sure what exactly the proposal is, or what I would need to do, but it sounds like there is a lot of money involved...

A Familial Way...

Just spoke to my Dad about his recent hospital tests. "It's okay" he said, "it's sorted"... Move along, nothing to see here... so like me...
