Wedding of Martha & Michael at Colchester Castle

Considering how wild the weather was at the beginning of the week, we were so lucky to have a bright and dry day. It was very cold outside St Mary’s Church where the service was held, but everyone soon warmed up once they were all aboard the big red London bus heading towards Colchester Castle. We had great fun taking pics at the Castle where the ushers got thrown into jail and Martha did her impression of Boadicea riding the chariot.  Come back next week to see the rest of the pics.

My take on Magritte

One of my most favourite things to do on a day off is to wander around an art gallery. I love the atmosphere, the quiet, the focus and calmness which can be found in a gallery. I often leave with my brain on over drive wanting to get creative with my camera as soon as possible however my every day work must take priority so I tend not to allow myself the time or the space to express my more quirky ideas. I have decided this should change and right now I am working on a new site to display some of this work but in the meantime until it is complete I will post some things here….

New book – Punk Rock People Management by Peter Cook (see my images)

Peter Cook uses some of my images in his new book –

Curiously titled “Punk Rock People Management”, it offers some short and straightforward advice on hiring, inspiring and firing staff. In the spirit of punk, Peter has made each chapter just two pages long – ideal for busy people and those who now browse books online.

Peter offers keynote seminars and more traditional business consultancy without guitars, based on his ideas – you can find out more at THE ACADEMY OF ROCK and HUMAN DYNAMICS
