At the risk of turning this site in to a dedicated baby fest, I have to say my sons toes really do fascinate me. They are just the most ridiculous little things. Not so keen on his lungs right now though after keeping us up literally all night…

I’ve got some non baby related projects in the works so hopefully I will get back to posting on other subjects too!

Some exploits from the little fella’s first week with us, and what a crazy week its been – about equal parts incredible and exhausting…

Everyone chilling out

Our first team outing to the beach

We are all home and it inspired the little man to actually open his eyes and have a look…:)

Born at 10.30pm on 13th September after a marathon couple of days…

Came across this in a house I shot last week…(unfortunately it wasnt lit so iPhone photo didnt really do it justice)

It was about 3 m by 2m on the wall.

Loving the storm sequences…

Just came across this – sweet filming…

Years ago when I first bought decent camera gear, I could only afford one lens so I bought a 50mm fixed 1.4 lens to go with my Eos 10 (film camera).

For a long time it was a permanent fixture on my camera because I could never find anything else that was as good in low light, or produced the Bokeh that it was capable of. I think my brov is still in the midst of that addiction and often reminds me of the strength of a low f stop fixed lens.

Obviously it produces a very specific style of image so is not always suitable, or even useful for much of what I shoot these days.

I like to dig it out from time to time though, to remind me that photography gear can be very simple and yet still powerful, and just moving your feet and getting creative with one lens is always a good reminder of where it all started.
