Sometimes...

if you don't blow your own trumpet then nobody else is going to do it for you.

I thought it was time that I unleashed you on some of my own work. Unfortunately, there has not been very much of it in the past while as I have been quite unwell. However, now I am getting back on my feet again I would like to showcase two of my latest shots.




Wheel from the side.




From the rear.

This magnificent structure is The Falkirk Wheel. I have always had a bit of an interest in these things as the Forth and Clyde Canal runs almost directly behind my home, but this superb piece of engineering is not only highly effient, both in terms of time and energy, but is s strangely elegant addition to the landscape.

If you would like to see any more of my work you can find it here.

The Photographer's Assistant

"As assistants we must never schmooze our photographers' clients. Schmooze by my understanding means to lick someone's arse for your own personal gain (so eloquently put) and we must not do it!"

The Photographer's Assistant is a blog written by Elaine Maria about the trails and experiences of being a young assistant starting from scratch with a fashion photographer. The blog is just starting out so lets give what has the potential to be something that many of our readers will be able to benefit from a chance.
