News update – a busy time! And the courses have completed!

The last few weeks have been fantastic behind the camera!! With weddings near Barnsley and also Warrington (yes I do go outside Cumbria!) and plenty of work for the newspapers I’ve been flat out and thoroughly enjoyed it. Some great freelance work was scarred by the tragic loss of life in the local area and we all pray for their families and friends.

The two digital photography courses have completed now with very happy customers and I’m looking forward to the next ones after the summer holidays. We had fantastic and enthusiastic students enrolled and the course was enjoyed by all – the complaint was that it wasn’t long enough!

Gaiety Cinema pictures cause a stir

It seems that my pictures which ran in The Whitehaven News have provoked a good reaction!
Page 10 of this weeks’ paper (23rd December 2009) features letters from the public who having seen my pictures are backing up the plea to re-open the cinema, especially in light of the Workington bridge disaster which makes it difficult to get to the local multiplex.

There is even a Facebook group called Re-open the Gaiety Cinema – please join up!

My full Gaiety picture set can be viewed here; http://www.flickr.com/photos/horrgakx/sets/72157622745861702/

Marathon weekend behind the camera

Another fantastic and marathon weekend behind the camera; 2x Cricket matches, Workington Reds playing at home, a charity bed push, soldier returning from Afghanistan, a kids party, stock photos of a trading estate, a ploughing competition, a celebrity chef and finally; Solfest!!

It was quite a challenge this weekend, I was amazingly busy, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and I’m very happy with the results!!

Caught!
