Meet The Team


In my job I work with great people. People who make things happen. Occasionally I get to work with a group which are amazing. And its a real privelage. Meet the team.

The hospital puts on a show for its own staff consisting of songs, often choreographed, sketches and the occasional audience participation which is always gentle, always with a great production team, accompanied by excellent live music, sound and lighting. Directed by Naomi (fifth from left front row) and produced by Naomi and Sally (first from the left front row) this year had a real buzz to it as each half of the live performance really shone with good original material and a cast that were focused on making it come alive for their audience whilst holding down their day jobs in healthcare.


Bath Time


In work we formed a photo group that meets from time with a specific remit of submitting photographs for that evening. On this occasion "Bath Time" left me slightly unchallenged as I imagined most shots would be taken from lower than waist height looking up at the subject (who probably was slightly unenthusiastic having their private cleaning ritual brought up for technical photographic discussion) and covered from head down in soap suds.

I wanted something different. Whilst supervising our six year old India during bath time the inspiration finally came that all I had to do was change my viewpoint. Every photo book on composition discusses this (somewhere at the start). But where....?
