Well, it's been a long time, hasn't it?

I'm not feeling contrite though, as I believe that anyone not blogging/facebooking/twittering etc etc is someone who actually has a real life, in the real world, and simply hasn't spent the last three months sat in front of a computer. What on earth did we all do before computers and the internet.  Luckily everything has been speeded up so much and attention times are so short that most people will have forgotten what the start of this sentence was about.  I know I have.

So...oooo, what have you been up to? Do tell! Write a comment and let me know.

As for me, I've been, um out shooting waves and the myriad storms that seem to be peppering our spring, the attendant lashings of rain making a mockery of the recently imposed drought orders.

A guy called Smiler, kite surfing a decent one in Cornwall


Penzance, Cornwall storm
There has been some work going on too, including this shoot for Cornwall Today of smock-tastic local company, Cornishwear. . .

And a memorable afternoon shooting Incredible Edibles at The Honey Pot, a really atmospheric cafe in the heart of Penzance. Great food and amazing cakes - having sampled the goods, I can heartily recommend it.







 New things have been worked upon as well since we last talked, including this work in progress portfolio site  Mike Newman Photography , but I'll have to tell you about them in another post. Off for an early morning surf tomorrow, hope you're doing something great too.
Unitl then, Pip Pip!

Tom Bawcock's Eve

This article appears in the December issue of Cornwall Today magazine  if you want to see it in its full technicolour design glory. Tom Bawcock’s Eve A merry place you may believe, Was Mouzel 'pon Tom Bawcock's Eve It's December 23 rd , very nearly Christmas, ‘Just two more sleeps, s o exciting!’ as my four year old informs me, at half past three in the morning . Later that day, in the warmth of the Ship Inn, Mousehole, glasses chink and holiday conversations flow. Outside, families stroll around the picturesque harbour, absorbing the village's famous lights as they twinkle in the gathering winter darkness. It’s a picture perfect portrait of a Cornish seaside village at Christmas. But there’s something more in the pub today, a subtle undercurrent of expectation, a buzz in the air, a reason the pub is so densely packed. Oddly, the pub bell rings out quite soon after sunset, and a hush quickly spreads through the pub’s warren of nooks an...

First Law of Surfing

I was out on a shoot last week, which just happened to be at a secret spot which only works once in a blue moon. It was a rare sunny, blue sky winter's day with a light offshore breeze grooming the swell perfectly onto a cranking A frame bank. Of course, I had no time to go in, stopping only to grab this picture before sadly driving away, crushed, under the cursed weight of the First Law of Surfing. The First Law of Surfing states simply, that : The size and quality of the surf will be inversely proportional to your ability to get to it. In other words; busy all day with no window of opportunity ? It'll be six foot and going off. Got the day off and time to search for a decent wave? Blown out two foot mush everywhere you look! Oh well, at least I got a picture this day...... Return to Ocean-Image.com

 What to put up on your wall Here at Cornish Seascapes we believe in putting a seascape print up on any wall space that's available!  But we would say that wouldn't we, so here's a few ideas from an amazing whole building design project we helped with, which was completed last year.    There were some very specific areas that needed an image, and having chosen a certain picture, the rest of the room was designed around colours picked from the photos Straight edged Aluminium prints fit well with the architectural lines.  The image is UV printed directly onto the panel which hangs flush  with the wall, so it doesn't protrude into the room. In a holiday setting it's also great not to have to worry about glazed picture accidents Seascape bedroom prints Wood framed larger XL panel, about 2m x 2m  For stairways, lobbies or hanging walls Colour matched bedroom interior  Large aluminium print from  Ocean-Image.com Wall hanging wave print for seaside ...
