Resolutions 2008!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! Hope you all saw in 2008 in just the way you wanted to and enjoyed every minute!



So what about your resolutions? I gave up on my usual idle ones of old (must go to gym; must eat healthier etc etc) a while ago, replacing them with one ‘all encompassing’ promise to myself…’to only say I’m going to do something if I REALLY do intend to do it’! It really works for me and this will be the third year of keeping it going. For 2008, I thought I’d share some of the things here that fall under that heading – one for every month of the year:

1. Regular ‘blog’ updates (at least monthly)
2. Get photographed – this will be a challenge for me but I keep being asked for a photo of myself for the website/blog page!
3. Have my work published in a magazine
4. Hold an exhibition
5. Visit Paris in the spring
6. …and New York in the Autumn
7. Learn more about wine!
8. Hold a ‘Bond’ launch
9. Develop an ‘on-line retail gallery’
10. Do (at least) one thing every month to improve the business
11. Join a Professional Business Network
12. …and Network tirelessly!

I hope 2008 will be the best year yet for all of you! Oh, and If you haven’t already saved the blog as one of your favourites, please do, and check back whenever you can to see what’s happening. As always, I’d love to know what you think.

Christmas - Ca Maria Adele, Venice

My last official shoot of 2007!
If you read my earlier blog, you’ll already know that I adore Venice and setting eyes on it again from the water taxi just as the sun was dropping was simply breathtaking. Stepping into the Ca Maria Adele, I was so inspired and couldn’t wait to get started. The ambience, colours, textures and scents of this gorgeous boutique hotel were a dream and the brief for the shoot couldn’t have been better: to capture the feeling of being there at Christmas. I loved doing this shoot and when I look at the images, would love to be able to step right back into them. See what you think.
