Building work, Grange Hill, London

The joy of being freelance is being able to take on any jobs that pay the bills. Got a call from a mate who's a builder and part time photographer. He was a man short for a job ripping up and re concreting a garage in Grange Hill.
Spent the whole day shoveling, drilling, lifting, digging etc... really nice and refreshing to be doing a manual labour job

Start up business meeting
Although I feel my photography is at a professional level I don't feel I have enough business skills to deal with that side of being a full time freelancer. I have been calling round and researching start up business advice and found a great government funded institution in based in Stratford. I went in and had a talk with Jim Price and he gave me some great pointers and advice and enrolled me in a 4 day business course in January so I can learn more about things like: Finances, correct invoicing, taxes, business accounts, inland revenue, VAT, marketing, business planning etc etc.... Looking forward to it and really want to do things right from the start and get into good habits.

Uni Graduation ceremony
I graduated from my Uni degree with a BaHons 2:1 and had my graduation ceremony today at the Barbican centre. Scary walk along the stage with thousands of people watching but a great way to end the course and last time to see all my uni mates before everyone goes their separate ways.

Storm Thorgerson exhibition private view, Hampstead
Visited 'New End Gallery' in Hampstead for the private view of Storm Thorgerson's work, the photographer/artist who did the Pink Floyd album covers among others. Was brilliant to see the work up close in person and the complexity and technical preciseness of the manipulations.

Alesha: Look but Don't Touch documentary
'Documentary in which singer Alesha Dixon, concerned about the increasing pressure on women to conform to an ideal body type, investigates the practice of airbrushing and retouching that has become a staple of magazine photos. Keen to discover whether these images just celebrate the female form or whether they make harmful, unrealistic demands on women and society, her journey sees her sitting in on 18-year-old Ellie's boob job and appearing on a front cover with her own body beautiful untouched'

North London routefinder bus wedding shoot
Shot a routefinder bus tour wedding starting at the ceremony at Islington/Higbury Chappel then the whole wedding party went on a bus tour around North London with the wedding couple telling stories about how they met at landmarks along the route then finishing up for food in Hamstead. Brilliant day of sun, great people, fun atmosphere, great steak/food. And I won the pot for guessing how long the best man's speach would last, bonus! :p (was 4 seconds off the actual time)
