Stuffed Toys

I received an unusual photo commission from a friend – he wanted to give his girlfriend a framed photo of some stuffed toys that mean something to each of them.

Casetagram iPhone Case

I finally upgraded to an iPhone, after years of wanting one, mostly for the apps, but now the iPhone 4S has a fantastic camera. I’ve been using Instagram for a while for the filter effects and social cross-posting, so when I heard about Casetagram, I instantly knew what case to get for my new phone.

I carefully chose my very favourite Cambridge Ballerina Project photos, and positioned them on the case to avoid any similar colours or shapes appearing together. The result is just beautiful.

 

 

 

 

Cambridge Ballerina Project – Suzie

Suzie is a second year Theology student, and performed in the last Cambridge Ballet Club show in February. I saw her again at a ballet class that Glory was teaching, and we arranged an autumnal shoot very promptly, while the weather was warm and all the leaves were golden. The clocks had just gone back, so these sunset photos were taken at around 4pm.

Scuba Diving in Bodrum, Turkey

The tourist resort of Bodrum, in Turkey, has many great dive sites and crystal clear waters.

Pamukkale, Turkey

Pamukkale is a fascinating natural wonder in South-Western Turkey. The sides of a large hill are covered in Travertine Terraces – calcium carbonate deposits left by thermal spring waters. I visited on an overcast day, so the photos I got don’t do the site justice. You’ll find plenty of photos online of snow-white slopes against bright blue skies…

The drizzle didn’t dampen my enjoyment of the thermal waters in Cleopatra’s Pool, replete with sunken ruins from Hierapolis.
