I have finally created a website to put my own photos on – instead of using this ‘design’ blog. It’s very simple and it had to be quick to make as the only time I get to work on my own projects is late into the night.

I have just returned from Norwich after a couple of days photographing Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, but it also gave me time to explore Norfolk. The weather on friday lunchtime produced some of the darkest, most dramatic clouds that I have ever seen – fantastic! The lighthouse is at Happisburgh (apparently pronounced Haisborough) and is set back 400 yards from the cliff top, so no chance of the sea in the shot. The sky was unreal and I would not have been surprised if spaceships had descended through the clouds. It was lightning in all directions but if you think I am going to stand in a field with a camera and tripod…

I have spent the last week designing banners and organising printing for several clients. Finer Catering required menus, price lists and banners for the Driffield Show, and the British Shakespeare Company needed banners for Leeds and Sheffield. But next week it’s back to designing websites with several new sites underway.

I spent last night photographing A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Gawsworth Hall near Macclesfield. Technically it was quite difficult in the fading evening light and unable to use flash as this was a live show. A long drive back before processing 120 images and adding them to the British Shakespeare Company website at 2am this morning. See Photo Gallery for more shots.
