I am delighted to say that I was married to my beautiful wife on April 30th in Brooklyn, New York. Thanks to everyone who helped us make it such a joyous event.

Here are some pictures I took around on the trip.

We recently spent a week in Rome visiting a friend who was kind enough give us a place to stay and to show us around. We had a great time and really appreciated being able to do some less touristy things because our friend is from Rome.

The full set is here.

Horn Blowing

I have an image in the June 2010 La Pura Vida show. This month’s pool was open for anyone to make an edit and I have another included in the alternate edits.

I also have an image featured on the website for the The International Analogue Photographic Society. I am pretty chuffed about both of these.

Edit: just to clarify the above image is not mine, it is the image chosen to headline the La Pura Vida show.

Isle of Mull

Recently my in-laws visited all the way from Brooklyn. It was great for me to have them here and especially for them to meet my family.

One of the other highlights of the visit was a long weekend in Mull…

Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire!

Liz and I went to visit my sister on Bonfire night. The village she lives on still has a very well attended bonfire and fireworks display for Guy Fawkes night although the burning of effigies seems to have fallen out of fashion As soon as my nephew saw the bonfire he dragged us towards it shouting Fire! Fire! Fire! and then proceeded to tell anyone who would listen that the big orangey thing was a fire.

I didn’t take many pictures as I though it would be too dark to get anything but a few came out okay:

Stockbridge Voice

My family photographs are the subject of an article in The Stockbridge Voice. The Stockbridge Voice is a new Edinburgh based online magazine.

There are also features from 2 other Edinburgh photographers, the first featuring the amazing street portraits of Gustaf Eriksson and the second the chemical wizardry of Katie Cooke.

The magazine is currently seeking contributors:

“Are you a writer, poet, illustrator, cartoonist or photographer? Would you like to join us at the Stockbridge Voice? We’re actively seeking material on all kinds of topics – the choice is yours. Everything from serious minded to light hearted. If you have something to share, something to say, why not do it here? Geographically, we’re in Edinburgh and contributions should ideally be from those living or working in Scotland.

It goes without saying that nothing of a defamatory nature will be accepted by the Stockbridge Voice. The editor has the final word and wields a mean red pen. Oh, and I’m afraid there’s no money in it – we’re doing this for the love of words and images.

Send your contribution to contributors@stockbridgevoice.com. We look forward to hearing from you.”

Waiting for Liz to arrive…

Today my awesome and beautiful fiancee arrives in Scotland to come and live here. I have the day off to go collect here and while I am waiting I don’t know what to do with myself so here are some pictures of her to mark the day

Nostalgia

motleycollection — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 09:21:27 +0000

Liz and I spent a nostalgic (for me – not for her!) afternoon at Mudeford Beach in Dorset when we were on holiday. My family used to stay in a holiday camp near there when we went on our summer holidays. We would rent a beachhut in Mudeford and spent a lot of time down there…anyway here are some pics I took when we were there. As usual here is a slideshow with a few extra pictures….
