Confetti i

I have just returned from another superb wedding abroad, this time Germany, to shoot the marriage of Valerie and Steve in and around the grounds of a 13th century castle – complete with moat! It was a pleasure to feel welcomed by everyone there enabling me to do what I do best and record the day’s events. Happily the forecast for a rainy day proved wrong and it all went off without a hitch…well, the Vicar didn’t turn up on time so a re-start was necessary but I guess walking up the isle twice in one day is something to save for the grandchildren! Anyway, onto a preview of the images;

It’s not too hard to get lost in Venice, thankfully there are the odd signs about if you look around.

Venice: Social Climber

23 Mar 2010 | , , , | No comments added... »

Social Climber

About 40mins or so by boat to the east of where Venice stands today lies Torcello the site of the original settlers in the Venetian lagoon who, in order to avoid the raids by barbarians on the mainland, fled to the islands. It is believed that around 1000BC the population had grown to an estimated 10,000 with salt its major source of trade. Today only a few buildings remain including the 12th century Church of Santa Fosca on this comparatively now quiet island. This building (pictured) is on the path to the water bus terminal, its old shutters surrounded by the fading paint seemed to echo the feeling of the place, punctuated by the two blocks of carved stone relics from an era lost in time.

Spirals

Incense Sprials from inside the Man Mo Temple in Hong Kong. A black and white rework of a previous shot to cut through all the haze made by the intoxicating fumes thanks to literally hundreds of these things hanging overhead. Each spiral had a message attached, I wonder what this one says…

IFC2

Firstly; Happy Chinese New Year, the Year of the Tiger! This is the view across Victoria Harbour towards IFC1 and IFC2 (International Finance Center) at night,  identical in design except that IFC2 is over twice the height of it’s brother and currently 7th tallest building in the world. The keener eyed viewers will also recognise these from the movie Batman: The Dark Knight where , in order to capture his target, Batman jumps from the top IFC2 down to IFC1. Rather him than me.

The astute among you might have found a few new additions to the galley pages as I organise my images and start uploading them onto the website. The most recent addition (currently) is a series of images from Hong Kong, Kowloon, The New Territories and the outlying islands. Navigate to the gallery to see the series.
