A frosty start

I’m sorry, I couldn’t resist the temptation to post a chilly image.

This was such a beautiful morning along The Backs, behind King’s College in Cambridge.

Students were stopping, on their way to lectures, to take snaps on their mobile phones. Being Cambridge, a lot were on cycles. I was having trouble staying upright while standing still on some of the icy pavements, so full credit to their cycling abilities!

This and more Cambridge images are available to license for your next project. Contact me to find out more.

Southend Seaside

A quick visit to the seaside… this could have been shot at dusk any time in the year. But I had to go down to the beach when it was below freezing.

It still makes me think of summer though!

Snowy Snowdonia

This was part of a quick shoot to take advantage of the rare combination of snow and sun!

Apart from cold toes and getting the car stuck, it was a successful trip.

Merry Christmas!

… and a Happy New Year!

Looking forward to a rest over the Festive Period, but have lots of interesting shoots planned for the New Year, Scotland and its Whisky for a start!

Winter Wonderland

They say it hasn’t snowed this much in London for 20 years…

I just know it made for some great pictures!

(belated) Happy Christmas and a Merry New Year!

Just a quick seasonal greeting to everyone that has been following my blog.

I’m back in the UK, full of festive cheer, after a crazy final 3 weeks in the US.

After Antelope Canyon, featured in the last post, I revisited Grand Canyon, then zigzagged out of Arizona and across SE Utah via Monument Valley, Canyonlands National Park and Arches National Park, before scaring myself silly driving I-70 in a car clearly incapable of dealing with the piles of snow building up under my tyres!

Once the New Year madness has settled, I’ll post an update with the last part of the shoot, update the Mother Road Images website with the new material and give some pointers to my agents’ sites where you can see more from the Open Road.

Until then… all the best for 2009!!!
