Raves & Rants . . from Penzance

As ever it's been a while since I posted here, so 'Hello!' and thanks for checking back. There has been busyness in the photo world with a variety of local shoots. Artist of the Month shoots for Cornwall Today magazine always provide interesting people, frequently with amazing art works, and I feel privileged to be able to photograph this aspect of the creative Cornish life.  Mary Mabbutt, Cornwall Today, May 2014 Rachael Kantaris, Cornwall Today, June 2014 I usually shoot quite a few pictures when we (writer Alex Wade and I) visit the artists, of which sometimes only three will make it on to the printed page, so it's great for the other images get an outing too. You can now find the rest of the shoot in the magazine's new Artists Gallery . So much for culture, for God's sake tell us about the extreme sports! I hear you cry. Well the surfing end of the extreme sports spectrum is alive and well in Cornwall, with Spring time blue swells aplenty thu...

The cover of the August issue of Cornwall Today , with this superb shot by  Greg Martin , is the first from new editor Alex Wade  , and shows Cornish surf at its absolute best. Unfortunately for any surfers reading this, surfing's code of ethics, and a desire not to have my legs broken, prevents me from naming the place it was taken.  It's not the only photo gem in the mag though, the contents spread improving this photo by the design. But the most noteworthy thing, personally speaking, is the new Surf Spot page, featuring a few words from your humble scribe. This month get the low down on the Sennen surf scene, with continued exploration of the best surfing beaches around the Cornish coast over the coming months. Oh, and just my little joke, saying 'I'm a wirter'. I do kno it shud hav bin 'wrighter'. Return to Ocean-Image.com
