Happy New Year...

Another year done and dusted, a new year to look forward to, the work has already started to pile in, January is going to be very busy. I've got some new toys to play with, which I'll be testing and blogging about very soon. I hope you'll take a look in 2013, once again Happy New Year...

Re: Christmas is coming... All change.

On the 16th of December I wrote this:-

"Christmas is coming, I've wrapped up the last job of the year and I've wrapped most of the presents too, the decorations are up and so is my desire to get some personal work shot. I've got to get some shots done of the kids, another year passes and they are both shooting up, that needs to be captured and immortalised in pixels. I have other plans too, you'll hopefully see some of the results here in the next month or so. In the meantime a happy Christmas to you and a very happy and prosperous new year."

All change, I'm now looking at working half the holidays for a couple of good clients who've suddenly sprung a whole heap of product shots on me, I'm not phased by this, it's going to put my plans back a little, not a problem. I've also got some portraits of my niece and her best friend to do before she goes off to join the army in January, a job that I'm extremely honoured to do.

Plans change on the ring of a phone or the ping of the inbox, I go with the flow, and while the work flows in I work. Happy Christmas again... Oh and Happy New Year.

Instagram... That was fun while it lasted.

I'm going to pull my Instagram account, photographers are already being undermined by people on the internet  swiping their images, now Instagram/Facebook want to do it to, well sod that. Some of the images I've posted have been from shoots I've done, I'm sure clients would love to see the shot they've paid for on someone else's ad. So I'm going to pull all my images off and close the account. 



So now I'm looking for another way to share images, just downloaded the 'tadaa' app, I'll see what that's like and where it goes. Also downloaded 'Streamzoo' I'm liking that, for both apps my user name is 'akpimages', so if you want to follow, or not it's entirely up to you.


Oh yeah once again Merry Christmas. No that doesn't apply to you Instagram, may the yule log slip from your fire and burn your house down.

Christmas is coming...

Christmas is coming, I've wrapped up the last job of the year and I've wrapped most of the presents too, the decorations are up and so is my desire to get some personal work shot. I've got to get some shots done of the kids, another year passes and they are both shooting up, that needs to be captured and immortalised in pixels. I have other plans too, you'll hopefully see some of the results here in the next month or so. In the meantime a happy Christmas to you and a very happy and prosperous new year.
