Following a shoot on Saturday I decided to go for a walk in Brightlingsea. I followed the path from behind the Beach Huts along by the water to Arlesford Creek. It was cold but a beautiful day and I was so glad I had taken my camera with me. The light was simply perfect and as I wandered about choosing different clouds to shoot I suddenly spotted a dark swarm on the horizon and realise that a large flock of Geese are on the move and heading my way…..

It is at this point I am regretting only bringing one lens with me! As they swoop and curve over, the noise of them chattering and flapping fills the air around me. On the ground their shadows seem to move in slow motion and remind me of a clip I once saw in a Pink Floyd video of dark aircraft shapes moving as one.

I stand in wonder at the ever changing scenery in front of me..

After putting on a very impressive air display they finally settle down in a field near by.

Then I approach the creek which is still and silent and illuminated like a freshly painted picture.

It was great to have the opportunity to have creative fun when taking pictures of Tim. He decided to start a project to have pictures taken of himself when he was diagnosed with having Parkinsons disease so it seemed appropriate to me to include a mirror in the set up of some of the shots to illustrate the idea of looking closely at ones self. Tim doesn’t take himself too seriously so I also wanted to convey a sense of humanity and humour, which is where the idea of holding a brain came in!

My cat has taken to sleeping in our airing cupboard, he is very sweet but he is using up his nine lives very quickly!

 The other day I filmed Alison Cameron as I want people to see how good she is at what she does.

A few night shots around Westminster and down by the Thames – http://www.pbase.com/wakelin/by_the_thames_at_night_2010

Yesterday I was delighted to meet Tim Andrews to discuss a personal photography project which he has been working on for the last few years. Tim has Parkinsons Disease and has been photographed by over 78 photographers, his idea is to get to 100 and then exhibit the images or possibly publish a book. Tim is a very charming and interesting person to spend some time with, having been a Lawyer for over 25 years in the city he now concentrates on living his life to the full doing what he enjoys doing best. I look forward to meeting up with Tim in February to take his picture which he will hopefully decide to add to his already extensive collection.

Please click on the link below to see Tim on the Fourth Plinth in London last year ( as part of an Antony Gormley project – One & Other ) to help raise awareness and funds for the Parkinson’s Disease Society.
