Seasons Greetings

We've decided not to send out a card this year but to make a donation to the typhoon appeal. Happy Christmas and here's to another busy, interesting year in 2014.  This image was shot in a small cafe in Bonifacio, Corsica a few years ago, (on film, Ricoh GR1, great camera) and seemed appropriate.  I'd forgotten how long it takes to clean the dust spots from a scan!

Olympic hopefuls

I met Frances Peters and Nicola Groves at Hayling Island Sailing Club last week, hoping that we might get a chance to shoot some on the water images for their new website. We only had one chance as their boat, the 49erFX chosen as one of the women's sailing classes at the Rio games in 2016, was being shipped off to Rio the next day. Their other boat was already on its way to Miami for a regatta in January. Unfortunately it was blowing dogs off chains, so we settled for some portraits and agreed to reconvene in the spring. I think a hair stylist would have had a difficult day!
