Jade At Room 3 Studio
Hello all. Thanks for reading this, my (belated) introductory post. It’s a little strange as I have been here before – not in a metaphysical / Sixth Sense kind of way; I’ve not been reborn, nor (to the best of my knowledge) am I dead. Although with a stupid like me, you could possibly never tell. I held a previous Hive account. But on getting a new PC appeared to have lost all of my keys. Stupid. Oh yes! And believe me I have berated myself for the last 18-24 months over it.
On The Mountain At Cadwell
I tried everything to regain access but no joy, although I can access via my mobile phone. But I find using my phone for posting and writing blogs a long winded, will sapping, mind-numbing process. So here I am, a new account. A new zest for posting and looking at your work, virtually meeting and chatting with new people and old friends (some of which have been very supportive and/or instrumental in getting me back on here).
A Lone Tree
I predominantly shoot models, but also, when I get the chance aviation, motor sports and some wildlife. I can’t seem to get my head round landscape photography. I like to see good landscape shots, but seem unable to create anything that looks remotely interesting. I do try it every now and then and believe I have created my own form of photography which I call Blandscape.
Puma Helicopter
I like to see images in print – I started photography in the gool old days of film – which really is something of a misnomer in my opinion. I couldn’t afford to do half as much photography back in the day as I have been able to since the advent of digital. But even though I enjoy the digital process (and the instant gratification/disappointment it brings) I like to see images printed. To that end I regularly have books of my work printed. Purely for myself, but it is nice to see my images in print, it’s a good exercise curating the best images for inclusion in the books and good to look back on and see if my photography has improved (and what I could have done better).
Sammy In Scarborough
So that’s me in a bit of a nutshell, probably a small peanut shell, not a big walnut shell, or a coconut (is that actually a nut anyway?) So I will finish with the words that people tend to use when describing me: Grumpy, opinionated, grumpy, simple, grumpy, not as good as he thinks he is, grumpy, ok, grumpy (you get the picture).
Thanks for reading
