Not just ANY pub, if it's Friday lunchtime it's got to The Printers in Cheadle!

They do lovely yummy chips :~D

Helped out Ian again at Garrick. Still a bit down about how good I really am.

I ran out of memory part way through the first act whilst I was near the stage, had to peg it back to my camera bag!

Managed to get some cracking shots!

RPS Workshop Wales

A few of us from the C3 photography group went to a RPS workshop.

Took me ages to print my photos out, including a midnight trip to Tesco to get some printer cartridges!

The critique wasn't great. They only liked 3 of my photos :(

I was a very dishearten, maybe my aspiration is too high!?!

Here's a challenge

C3 photography group met up today.

The challenge is to take 20 photos in 2 hours in Manchester center. Andy took part too with our compact camera.

I was very interesting as we went round Manchester together but ended up with quite different photographs.

A different Kind of View

My brother-in-law got married today, I took along my camera kit and ended up being in photographer mode all day. So I won't be doing that again.

They are very happy with my photos though, which is quite a relief.

Spent Saturday afternoon helping out my friend Ian as an assistant photographer. Sir Ian McKellen was unveiling a blue plaque for Stockport Garrick. He arrived with Anthony Cotton(Corri) and was treated to a tour of the threatre. After inveiing the plaque, followed by the Mayoress unveiling a plaque to commemorate Sir Ian unveiling a plaque. It was back to The Garrick for a history of the threatre, follwed by a unformal Q&A with Sir Ian. He also stayed to have a chat after too.
He's very down to earth and very talented.

A tiring but throughoutly enjoyable day.

A big thanks to Ian for asking me to help.
