Sad News, Little Storm passed away on Saturday, 06-02-2010. He was such a sweet natured cat who loved other cats and would often bring them home and encourage them to stay. Unlike most cats who are very territorial he was not. He was also very brave and would stand up to any dog no matter how big. He was very affectionate and mild mannered but loved to play. He had his own little toy box and would open the lid himself to fetch a toy or two. He will be sadly missed.
What a superb start to the New Year, snow everywhere. We went to Scotland and it was truly magical.
We did a lecture tour around Scotland which culminated in Russ & I judging the PAGB Camera Clubs' Cup Competition, but managed to find time in between, to take some lovely pictures of this beautiful country at the same time.
We had a cold start, but we were soon feeling very cosy with such a warm and welcoming group, seeing to our every need.
THANK YOU to each and everyone who helped out. It was great fun to do and not at all an arduous task for us.
Chistmas was spent in London, another perfect location for a perfect celebration.
I managed to get out to see my mother before Christmas and took with me my Granddaughter 'Shannon' & my eldest daughter 'Emma'. So pictured here are 3 out of 4 generations.
Just returned from Belgium after my 2nd visit this year. Bruges was lovely, especially as it was so close to Christmas and the place just oozed atmosphere.
Bastards have broken into my Mazda MX5 for the second time in one month! I am suspecting Eastern Europeans who hang around the area intimidating the indiginous population. The broken bottle laying nearby that was used to rip the roof open was from that part of the world. These people can't speak English (when it comes to being questioned by the police or the employment office) but can when it comes to swearing at people or when they want something from you. Lucretia has now returned the car as she no longer dares to leave it in her drive. She's 6 month pregnant, fears walking past these imigrants in the main street where they hang around in groups. She prefers to use dark alleyways to avoid them, and now of course she's without transport. Against my wishes, she hasn't reported the second incident to the police, because of their attitude the first time round. They are not interested in stopping crime. They are not interested in protecting people and their property who are not rich and influential.
Groggy Froggy is just one of the many pets we have at home. We've had this 'Whites tree Frog' for over 16 years now. How long can a frog live for?

Beware of the Red car.

Recently returned from Bristol, a 400 mile+ round trip just to see an art exhibition. But not just any old exhibition but the 'Banksy v Bristol Museum' Exhibition. We queued for 2.5hrs in the rain without coats or a brolly but it was worth every raindrop.
One of my favourites by BANKSY
And just one of many superb animated exhibits also by BANKSY. But you needed to look carefully everywhere throughout the museum as he has snuck in a few of his own amongst the serious displays.

Now about me!
'BarbieArt' ~ Photograph by Rusty Lindsay
I am a little unconventional.
I'm a photographic obsessive. My whole life revolves around photography. I love every aspect, whether it be taking photographs or looking at other people's images and analysing the content. On a personal level, to work on, print and then to see the final mounted print is sheer magic.
I found my last project of 'People with Character' a lot more enjoyable and less stressful than my current 'Suffolk Moths' project. Some of these images however, have been deemed to be too controversial by some narrow minded bigots, (not the moths) but I feel that true photographers should embrace all aspects of photography and not judge images on whether they would look good hanging on their living room walls. Not every image should be a pretty picture, but instead should convey a message or evoke a reaction from the viewer.
Another of my favorite subjects is 'Humour'. Humorous pictures have been playing 2nd fiddle for far too long within the art world, not just in photography but in every art form. Personally, I think this is a great shame, as quite often it's the humorous pictures that have a far more lasting impact upon the viewer than almost any other image.

I will take on almost any photographic assignment, BUT only if it appeals to me. Money is not the main issue by any means.
