Function Promotion

Our church leaders have decided to offer a full package for events such as weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, etc. I was asked to provide photographs of general layouts and close up detail for use in promotional material. This is one showing a layout in our church main hall.

Local Landscape

This is a view from the top of St Catherine's Hill near Christchurch. It looks really nice in the Summer and in the Autumn when the leaves turn.

Playing for his supper

This bloke suddenly turned up with his bike, bags and two dogs. I like the way he has put a blanket over the dogs to keep them warm. He was very scruffy but I don't think he was a down and out because the dogs look well fed and he's got a decent bike. He was very very good with that instrument so maybe he made good money from passers by.

Bargain Hunting?

I originally thought the lady was old as I lined up my camera, she turned just as I pressed the shutter button, she was quite young and she didn't look happy.

Temptation

Not a lot of people were being tempted even though it was extremely cold, the weather, that is!

Alfresco Studio

Looks like the sort of mess you imagine in an artist's garrett studio, good things do come from messy beginnings though.

Another Shopfront

I have photographed this particular shop more than once, the first time in Black & White, I have a large framed print of that first one on the wall above my desk. I have also photographed "The Body Shop" branch in Hong Kong.

Shopfronts

I mentioned in an earlier blog that I do like to photograph shopfronts. I thought I would add this one to my collection, I've never heard of "Menkind", funny name!

Like a Goldfish Bowl

I always photograph this place when I'm in the area, I like it best when there are people at the tables inside near the windows. I had to be content with photographing the guy photographing the girls. The best picture I ever got of this was years ago in the days of Black & White film.

Food Again

More people stuffing their faces.

Enterprising

I can't help wondering how long it takes the gravy to soak through the box and make rather a nasty mess of things!

Window Shopping?

The kid in the pushchair is not at all interested! still, nor would I be at his age.

Ancient & Modern

If the people dressed in period costume and the guy on the right legged it with his busking gear this scene could take on quite a medieval look.

Santa's Helpers?

It is an Ann Summers shop!!
