365/365 - The end, I did it!

Well it's done, one image everyday for the year of 2009. Have been racking my brains trying to think of a suitable image to sum up my year and this is it. Not the most technically well executed image of my year, but one that means a lot to me. My boys. Besides I think Jack was more interested in Postman Pat on the tv than me.
This little project has been fun and as much as it has been a bind somedays, it has pushed me as a photogrpaher and a person. in 2010 I am going to be doing a 52 project, one image a week for the whole year. Check out my blog for more info.

364/365 - Take a holiday guys. You deserve it.

Well these guys are going to be redundant for the first couple of months in 2010. For the past 16 years I have had to remain (semi) clean shaven for the fire service, but as of 11.59pm on 1st Jan I shall no longer be a retained fireman and not need to stay so clean shaven, so for the the month of Jan (at least) I am not shaving. Beardsville here I come.
This will also be the first month's topic of next years 52 project. Check out my blog for more info on that photo project.

363/365 - Welcome to my kitchen.

Granny Jersey is over visiting for a few days, so the boys are having another christmas today with yet more presents. The look on Jacks face when he relaised he had his own kitchen was priceless, took us nearly an hour past bedtime to drag him away from it. Another Jamie Oliver in the making? We can wish.

362/365 - Inflight meal.

Tring to walk off some of the xcess we have consumed over the past few days, we ventured out to feed the ducks again. Nothing too inspiring but a shot I am pleased with none the less.

361/365 - Iphone fun.

Fired up by a book I got for christmas, I took some sound advice from it.
"You are never more than 10ft from a good picture and the only thing limiting you taking a good image is you not your equipment"
So with these word in my head and the boy asleep in the van I ventures 10 ft from my parking spot whilst Jack was snoring his head off and got snapping.

360/365 - Baby sitting.

Boxing day is possibly as exciting as christmas day for me. No matter what we have done the day before we always spend it with my family. This is my dad babysitting our youngest. Putting a lot of effort into there I see Dad, cheers.

One very lucky escape for one of our lorries. Need I say anymore?

355/365 - Why do I offer?

Ugh, christmas food shopping. Being the loving husband that I am, I offered to do the food shopping for the festive period. Cat food and brandy. What else do I need?

354/365 - You looking at me?

Ok, so what happened to day 353? Well back in August I doubled up on a day's numbering and only just realised today. Bum. So I have skipped a day's number.
Todays shot was taken on an injured duck down at our favourite duck pond.

My 365 project and other ramblings.

I am now into the final few days of my year long 365 project, it has been tough at times but ultimatley it has pushed me to take better shots. I think carrying it on into 2010 would be unwise due to a heavy work load for this coming year plus I have the fear of repeating content and boring the hell out of you all. So for 2010 I am doing a 52 project. I will publish one image each week for the entire year of 2010, but each month will be themed. Janurary is already sorted but I am looking for suggestions for the remain 11 months of 2010. Anything goes.

Looking ahead to next year my wedding season starts in early Feb and is looking to be a busy one with some very exciting weddings coming up. I will share as many of them with you as possible. Hopefully in Janurary, if it all comes off, I have some exciting photoshoots lined up with a variety of models and clients. As for the rest of the year we shall see what happens, but if you would like to book my services, for your wedding, a portrait sitting or just some commercial work, then just drop me a line.

Thanks.

352/365 - A light dusting.

Oh some snow. Not much but a dusting. Here's hoping for a serious dumping around Christmas day, a true white christmas would be just the ticket.

351/365 - How much noise?

Ouch my ears are bleeding.

350/365 - Saunton Sunset.

On my drive home I stopped to check the surf at Saunton, just happened to be there at the right time to capture the sunsetting over Hartland point. No matter how many times I see it, it still amazes me. Even better on a cold crisp day like today the view is so much clearer.

349/365 - Ummm. Cakes.

It's one of the last few days at nursery for this year for Jackson tomorrow so the traditional party food and games is on the menu. thought I would send him with some cakes I loving made. What's better than someone else having your kids, fueled with e-number and sugar for the day. Good luck guys...

348/365 - Let sleeping babies rest.

Well it has been 6 days since I last posted a shot of our Tomas, so here's one of him sleeping peacefully in his mothers arms, whilst she slept (Daren't post the full shot, I would be homeless before the weekend.)

347/365 - I am no picasso.

Not only have we just had a baby, had new central heating, the builders knock a wall down and have double glazing fitted int he past few weeks, i thought it would be about time to do some decorating. Just putting the finishing touches to Jacksons new room. Dinosaur inspired don't you know.
