Country Therapy

Work has been a bit quiet for me this year and this has reflected on my blog activity. That is not necessarily a problem since I am fairly new to wedding photography and I would not expect to be so amply employed yet as some of my experienced colleagues and friends. Nevertheless I intend to keep chipping away at it and have no doubts I will increase my client base before too long.  Me downhearted ?  No..... not yet ! I have had some family business with my old folks to take care of for the last couple of months which I am still doing but once that is settled satisfactorily for them then it will be full steam ahead once again and I hope to have more time to boost my marketing in turn picking up more business. I believe I have my priorities right.

One bit of great news is that my youngest son just got engaged so I am arranging his engagement shoot which will be fun.  That gave me a good excuse to visit some possible locations. Anyway before I ramble on much more, I was driving along through Ashridge Forest in Buckinghamshire today and felt this strange compulsion to grab my camera and get out to do some shooting. It was very therapeutic to have the cold wind blowing in my face, away from habitation.  I have posted some of the shots below which I managed before my hands went numb with the cold.  Hope you enjoy them. Just in case you were wondering the last one is the Ashridge Memorial that was built in Honour of Francis, Third Duke of Bridgewater in 1832 . He was known as the Father of Inland Navigation in England. If you didnt know then its Ok, I didnt know either until I researched it !!!
