ENTERPRISE NATION
Wednesday, February 20, 2008 at 10:37AM just a quick one for all you home workers out there... i.e : fellow photographers like me, who work from home ('cause we're too skint to afford the horrendous commercial rates or, if you choose to look at it another way, too savvy to spend that hard earned dosh on commercial space when we've done alright so far without it .... the choice is yours....pick one!!)
whichever category you choose to squeeze yourself into, Enterprise Nation is for you..... this hot home business website gives you all the information you need to start freelancing or working from home... the business section looks at how to deal with payroll, turn customer feedback into positive action, marketing etc... Technology looks at topics such as how to go paper less .... (something i'm looking to do for my new financial year starting in April...hmmm, we'll see how that goes!!)
there's so much more.....worth a browse.....

POSTSECRET
Friday, February 15, 2008 at 06:04PM Just thought i'd share some light entertainment for the weekend.....
whilst doing some 'research' (yes i do work!!! I don't just skive about watching crappy daytime telly and surfing the net without purpose....) I came across Postsecret.
Postsecret is as defined on the site as 'an ongoing art community project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard'. I can tell you now, this site is addictive.... I've been laughing and thinking all day as some of the messages were really funny to me and others so touching .... here are a few from valentine's day
This next one is my absolute favorite... it made me laugh but also think ...you can read this in so many ways...
I couldn't stop laughing with this next one.....although, there is a flipside to this as well.....
awwww... how sweet!!!.... Honey, a smile ain't gonna keep you warm though, neither will it pay off that mountain of debt ..... get that ring pronto!!! .....and then give me a call to take the photos :) (well, I've got to eat as well...!!?!)
and finally....
Have a great weekend!!!

PRE-WEDDING PHOTO SHOOT: ST PAULS, LONDON
Tuesday, February 12, 2008 at 07:24PM hmmm...what can i say about this session.... it was fun!!! I laughed a lot and sometimes forgot that Tatiana and Janos were clients..... Our session was around St. Paul's Cathedral and mainly in the Paternoster Square area.... not a lot of colour, but great shapes and forms to use as backgrounds.....
Normally, it takes about 20 minutes for most couples to warm up, losen up and just get with the flow of having their pictures taken, but these two just jumped straight in ...and i can tell you now, there was nothing shy about Janos.. you've gotta love a guy who knows how to take advantage of any situation he finds himself in and also 'create' said situation if things are not looking favourable :) ... I must say, his 'diligence' led to some really great shots of both of them....I can't wait for their wedding in May....
here are some of my favourite images from the day:

NEW NAME KITS!!!
Tuesday, February 5, 2008 at 12:44PM just a quick resource I thought would be useful to brides .... The name kit by the name change company helps you change all your details with the endless number of organisations you are affiliated with without the drama.....
all you do is fill in some basic information about yourself like your new name and old name, select the organisations you need inform of the change... it will also tell you which organisations will require a letter from you showing your new and old signatures and will automatically create these personalised letters for you, all ready to print, sign and send.... so, Happy Name Change!!!
