Olympic Torch Relay



The Olympic Torch came through Winslow today (the small town in Buckinghamshire where we are based) and it was a really exciting event to be a part of. The High Street was packed with people and I had some fun taking some pictures as the morning unfolded. I didn’t expect so many people to turn up so the crowds were a surprise but the rain held off and everyone seemed to have a great time!.

It was nice to have a morning in the office as I have been working really long hours lately and even spent Sunday morning in the little studio upstairs as I had some product photography to do that was needed urgently. I’ll post some pictures in the next blog entry as they aren’t processed yet.

Over the past three weeks or so since the last entry I’ve photographed quite a few products in our new studio so that’s proven to be a good investment and long may that continue. I’ve also had the great pleasure of photographing the new Aston Martin showroom at Newport Pagnell and a lovely restaurant in Covent Garden called Hawksmoor. I haven’t had any of the pictures from these projects approved by the clients yet so I can’t blog them but I will as soon as I can as both jobs look great.

I’ve had some event photography to do which is always fun especially as this event was on a boat at the Henley Regatta!. That was a great day and Melanie came along too as the client was Chameleon Events who we are very close to and it was part work and part day out. I also photographed the launch party for the new HQ of Zumtobel Lighting in Chalfont St Peter which was also a great job as the Zumtobel guys are great to work for and their new lighting showroom is superb.

Fingers crossed for some nice weather now as I’ve got quite a few outdoor commissions coming up and we’re supposed to be going camping for a few days at the end of July. At this rate we’ll need a hovercraft to get there!.
