Brand New Look

Brand New Look

Well I decided an update was needed to freshin’ up my Blog. As usual I’ve gone with a very minimal look with a simple colour pallete to ensure there is nothing to distract from my images. However this is a fairly significant departure from the bright whites and grays of the previous layout, leaning more [...]

That's a Wrap - Peoples Photography 2009

Well that’s it for another year. A thoroughly enjoyable weekend of good coffee, great company, good coffee, chatting to passers bye, good coffee, selling a few prints, oh and good coffee.

PP08 – It’s all over :-(

Well another great day yesterday. Again lots of traffic and lot’s of interest. I think it was a far more relaxing day yesterday as we had learned our lessons about setting up on Saturday.
