Picnic at Combe Hill

I was up late last night working on various projects so I decided to treat myself but doing something. I hadn’t decided yet so I was just checking my website’s statistics (435 visitors this week). I also had Facebook open and saw my mate Kelly was online. After a very quick and spontaneous decision we decided to have a picnic at Combe Hill. We had a very chilled out time even though she was a bit chilly. I loved the randomness and spontaneity of the afternoon! Brilliant!!

A Photographer’s Pride and Prejudice

I can’t help feeling a huge sense of pride with Kelly. She has come along way. I’ll be honest, all I did was give her access to some expensive camera equipment, she did the rest so the pride does not come from that. No, the pride stems from watching someone grow into a role that suited her so well that it was like destiny. Last night we went out to catch the last few songs of The Red Bullets. The way she just flowed into that environment was amazing. She took out her camera and walked right up to the front as if it were the most natural thing in the world. I knew just a few months ago she would giving it a second thought.

I have always said to her that if she continues and gives it her all, then she will become a far more successful photographer than I ever could. And when that day comes I know I will be forever in her shadow.
