Going Cakey !!





How about this for a job?

Sutherland's cakes are going on line. To do this of course, the entire range had to be photographed. I was going to give you examples of some but name a cake and it was here at the studio and in vast quantities.

I was buried in the goodies. What's more I couldn't give them back due to health & safety
regulations.

Who says you can't have your cake and eat it?

The Fix play Royal Exchange Square.



In an earlier blog I commented on how I have always admired buskers who play in all weathers for busy people rushing past.

Well, last Saturday, I was meeting up with my eldest son Roddy when I bumped into my youngest son Andrew. He was playing and singing away in the rain with band members, Connor and Alan from their band The Fix in Glasgow's Royal exchange Square.

Judging by the amount of dosh they were getting, the shoppers were impressed.

They were great!

One Of My Favourite Photos.




This photograph is one of a series I took during the shooting of a promotional video for Aberlour Whisky back in 1990. (My favourite single malt)

This is the stuff you cannot set up and it is always the best. As often said, "never work with children or animals", there is a lot of sense in that saying but when you get this kind of image, it makes you think.

The wee tom knew there was something good in the air and came over to investigate but it was all to much for him.

His day had still to come.

Total Precision.



I was searching the archive negative libraries for an old shot I had taken for a client many years ago. Now, this is always an interesting experience as I always find shots I had completely forgotten about.

I found these ones of the Red Arrows from 1985. How about that for symmetry?

I remember the noise, it was quite deafening.

In a word, brilliant!
