Home Coming Scotland 2009

This is the year of Home Coming Scotland 2009 and as the wedding season gets into full swing I want to send my best wishes to everyone coming back home to Scotland for their wedding. A high portion of my wedding bookings are from brides and grooms who no longer live in Scotland and I know how special it is for them to come back home for their wedding. Well this year (being the 250th anniversary of Robert Burns) will be that bit more special.

Photography Exhibition : Glasgow

Looking Up : Glasgow Heritage Trust


Glasgow Heritage Trust have a "worth a visit" photographic exhibition on at the moment. Pupils from four schools across the city (Hyndland Secondary School, Shawlands Academy, St Aloysius' College and St Mungo's Academy) have captured Glasgow's buildings in a way that shows how the City’s architectural landscape is so unique. Well the bits that Glasgow City Council Planning Department have left well alone. Here's a link link

100 Portraits : Matthew Boyle

Matthew has come up with one of those "I wish I'd thought of that" ideas. He photographed 100 people in or around Glasgow. Nothing unusual there. The clever bit is that each person chose the next one to be photographed; therefore Matthew had no control over the chain. And talking of chains here's a link

Professional Photographer of the Year 2008

At long last Professional Photographer magazine (IMO one of the last serious photography magazines and (IMO) hanging in there by a thread) has announced a shortlist for their PPOTY08 award. Winners will be printed in the April edition.

Making it into the shortlist is John Balkie and Sandra Parris; two of the very best wedding and portrait photographers, based here in Scotland. Please take a look at their striking images in the wedding and portrait sections. Good luck you two.

BTW my new landline number is 0141 810 4052. As the move continues I'm a little behind with my work, but we're nearly there.
