Hi Lisa et al,
Hope you all had a good break! Shame about the endless grey skies, still I had great fun taking stacks of images. Regarding accepting money for a couple of my prints, I declined – so on Xmas eve my neighbour brought me gifts of cake and a book (Ansel Adams 400 photos)which was great - inspirational in fact - now that bloke was good!
A local farmer asked me to photograph some cattle on New Years Day, seemed a nice idea. So I spent over an hour paddling in inches of liquid muck and slurry, amongst 20 big hairy beef cattle with horns. I was pushed onto my hands and knees, covered with fresh cow !*!* and my camera bag got pulled into the sea of muck by a calf. Now my clothes are soaking in a tub of water, my camera bag is in the dust bin and I still have to scrape some muck from the camera which somehow still works. If the farmer likes the image he will drop in a bag a spuds….
As for the images…… well I spent some time last night with a glass of wine sorting them and I think without a doubt they are some of my best so far. Now if I get that bag of spuds, what a start to the new year that would be…..
Chris.
