Just roll with it

Days in the office are starting to feel almost like ‘down time’ to me, funny that. :D I shouldn’t really complain though, as I do feel really fortunate to be as busy as I am. Sometimes the physical and metal exhaustion just gets the better of me and makes me turn into a little whiner. :P And sometimes dragging myself to a shoot after a full day at the day job feels like too much. But then when I get there, and when it’s good, it’s really good. I had a brilliant engagement session last night with a couple who’s wedding I’m covering next month. They were just so nice and sweet that I know the wedding is going to absolutely kick ass. So today I’m feeling pretty excited.

I’ve got two sessions to edit by the end of this week, but tomorrow I’m having a night off to go see Lisa Hannigan at Shepherd’s Bush Empire. Yay.

Here in the office it’s not actually the worst time at the moment. After months of re-design work, we’re finally working on the June issue, which will be the first new look magazine. And we have at last migrated to InDesign (hallelujah), which makes life so so much easier. So it’s pretty much as ‘exciting’ right now as this job is ever likely to get.

30 minutes of photography inspiration provided by Miles Aldri... on TwitpicOh I don’t think I ever mentioned anything about the Miles Aldridge exhibition I went to last week. It was pretty awesome and inspiring, even though the prints displayed could have been a bit bigger! But then the prices would have probably climbed out of reach for everyone. Personally, if I did have an extra £1800 lying around, I so would have bought a picture then and there. :D Now I’ll just have to try to find the new, freshly published book from somewhere.
p.s. Sooz took this sneaky shot as my mobile was being too loud for any sort of espionage!

Pistachio love

Just a few blurry shots from last night’s Lisa Hannigan gig. A couple of videos to come later when I have some time!

St John's Church

St. John’s Church certainly made for an impressive venue.

Gavin Glass

Gavin Glass performed some of his on solo stuff before Lisa got on stage. There were a few ok songs, but mostly they were perhaps a bit… dare I say it, boring. Although a huge plus point was the fact that if I closed my eyes he sounded just like Colin Farrell. :P

Lisa Hannigan

Lisa was adorable! And having not really heard her solo material before I was very impressed. I liked her, a lot.

Lisa Hannigan

She was way too lively to take pictures with a compact camera from the back rows. :P

It was a coooold night. Very christmassy views of the Houses of Parliament on the way home though.
