The Olympic Torch Relay passed by the end of my road today and it would have been wrong of me not to take a wander down and have a look…with camera in hand of course.
Here’s a few pics.

Amazing how quickly time moves on – doesn’t seem that long ago that Matthew was still crawling around on the floor, and now look at him, two years old, can’t sit still for two minutes and plenty to say for himself! Yours truly had managed to get hold of some tickets to see Coldplay at, dare I say it, the Emirates Stadium – yes folks, you heard correctly, that’s me, staunch Spurs fan, actually going into enemy territory – booked myself in for a full exoricsm when I got home though!

You know, every now and again, it’s a great idea to break out and try something different, like another genre of photography other than weddings and portraits. The truth is, I love photography in general, not just one specific area, although for business purposes it does help naturally to specialise in one genre, but that doesn’t mean excluding everything else.

You’re right Hamish and this is the real difference between a full time pro (who will naturally charge higher) and a part timer who might do a wedding for you for about £300. As pros, we need to make sure that we keep up to date with all the latest equipment and software and part of the package fee, as you point out, needs to be allocated towards that – it’s all for the client’s benefit at the end of the day.ReplyCancel
