My new office space is ready. Officially named the "Incubation Centre". This place has recently been refurbished and now ready for many entrepreneurs and business start-ups to use. Today was a networking lunch where I got to meet some familiar faces who are also starting up their own businesses including Sam Marchant from Suzero. There were others who were still studying their degrees and in the process of starting up as well. Businesses included Skateboarding technology, drones, low sugar snack bars and fashion brands. It was nice to meet like minded people who share similar interests. Hopefully there will be opportunities to either collaborate, gain a client or make long lasting friendship
Performing the Tempest. I love going to this school. Mostly I think because my mum used to work here back in the 1960s. The photo of the school year 1966 is still framed and hanging on the wall in reception! Its also a school that still retains many features from the past, full of history and character. So yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing the school play "Tempest". I'm very used to Photographing Shakespeare plays due to my time working with SSF. It was also a very long play - 45 mins for the first half and then a further 30 mins after the interval. Some great costumes though and very impressive acting from the young cast. I will be attending tonight's performance to sell the 30
14th March 2018 5:45 - 8pm Was a good evening and met some interesting people. It can be nerve racking attending these kind of events where you don't know anyone. Dressing formal and having an elevator pitch ready is important. As is being confident and being approachable and interested in other people. The best thing about these events is that you literally have nothing to lose and everything to gain. You never know who you might meet. You might meet your next customer who then refers you and so on. Like I always say, if you don't do, you don't get. Luck is basically putting yourself in a position that can receive opportunities. I have to say that the evening went rather well. There were tw
The Young Enterprise start-up programme gives students aged 17-24 the ultimate opportunity to develop their employ-ability skills and prepare for the world of work. Start up participants set up and run their own companies for 12 months. For me it was very inspiring to see young people get such a great start in their careers with opportunities like this. The standard was also very high. I came to the galleria to cover an event that showcased their products and captured these young entrepreneurs receive their much deserved awards. Here are a few pics....see more here
Football photography, as with many things can become repetitive and stale unless you think of new ideas and ways to keep it exciting and fresh. This week I decided to make a few gifs. Next time I hope to capture a few goals using this technique.
This unusual spell of weather gave me some new ideas. So sledging and snowmen aside for a moment, I decided why not make some home made icicles. You're probably wondering how I did it (or perhaps not). And no, I havn't been standing outside for the last 24hrs dripping water from a bottle. I simply tied a container of water with a hole in and let it hang from the washing line. Top up every now and again. And there we are.......Hope everyone is staying safe this week!
