HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!! ............2008!!!!!!!!!!!.............. ITS ALL GOING TO BE DIFFERENT AND MEGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This image I made of the amazing work and studio of the artist Melvyn Warren Smith....... in the barn he has converted. He and his partner kindly invited me and the bits of my family that is gathered here in the Warwickshire countryside ( England ) round today.
Also today I've had my mate Andy D on the phone with the traditional seasons greetings and Happy New Year Good wishes......... and of course the traditional annual reminder about the prints from his wedding.......... AGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!........... The prints from his wedding!!!!!!!!! .......... EEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKK............. HAS IT BEEN A YEAR???????.......... NO!!!!!!!!!!........... Im kidding I wasn't exactly the official photographer...... and it has'nt been a year...... yet......... but even so guilt rushes in on me as I think of the beautiful wedding of some of my best friends and how they have only received emailed shots at the moment......... AGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!.................... 2008........ its all going to be different and mega........... Im burning their disk attempting to make the first steps in fixing the the Andy and Jo wedding pictures issue as I write this........ sorry guys.
As I am thinking now about all the people I was supposed to send prints to in 2007................ I have just sent the email Below to my fave writer of last year....... Christopher Hitchins ....... (You must read his international Best Seller published in 2007......... "God is not Great" and I have also just received his new 'Thomas Paine - The Rights of Man' Book which also looks well worth a quick peek.)
Yo Hitch..... Seasons Greetings to you mate!
I have received your 'Thomas Paine' book as a Christmas gift......... so I need to send you your pictures...... so that I can enjoy your prose in a relaxed manner .... without that pervasive sensation of guilt that over takes the delinquent photographer whenever he thinks of the people to whom he has promised prints.
Under normal circumstance images in digital format might be supplied.... but for your family to receive physical prints..... well..... strict criteria are stipulated...... you must first have been on the front cover of the Observer wearing a pike-man's outfit..... you standing resolutely alongside the Lord Mayor of London....... then you must have tragically died while waiting for the pictures to arrive....... only then will we consent to actually supply the physical prints of you (and of course the Lord Mayor)...... but in your case...... I have decided.... we will overlook this hitherto strictly enforced criteria in this... a one off breach of the Insight Protocol.
Amazingly....... I have finally sent off for physical prints which will be winging their way to you shortly ......
Sorry for the delay........
Cheers! Happy New Year!
