I had a ‘bump’ shoot with a very pregnant Corene a while ago. Corene is married to Mark Chipps, owner of Goosebump Productions. Go check out his website he does amazing wedding videos – www.goosebump.co.za
I also had a chance to play with my new tilt and shift lens – see the last couple of photos… That’s the real deal; no faking it in photoshop. I just love that lens and can’t wait for the next shoot!
I updated my portfolio page over the weekend with some more recent samples of my work. I would love to hear what my regular blogs talkers think! Too slow?… Too big?… Too small?… Too many? I decided to rather sacrifice speed than quality… Drop me a line in the comments section below if you have a moment. Enjoy!
As per my previous post I was on my way to the UK to shoot Laura and Iain’s wedding. I arrived yesterday morning on Heathrow airport after a 12 hour flight and ended up at the desk of a very ‘polite gentleman’ (as only the British can be) called Jonathan Legg. Well Jonathan asked me a couple of questions an told me to go sit on a little bench and disappeared with my passport for about an hour. Came back and told me I have a ‘visit visa’ and not a ‘working visa’.
I’m not going to go into the details, but it went something like this…. I was searched… interrogated… searched again… sorry sir, entry denied… detained for 14 hours (like a low life criminal) without my luggage or cell phone with me… and eventually put back on a plane back to Cape Town.
Just shows you, when it comes to a UK Border agent called Jonathan Legg, honesty won’t get you in. No matter how much you beg!
I can take the 3 days without sleep and being locked up like a criminal. Even the fact that I probably will never be allowed into the UK again. The absolute worst thing about this whole ordeal is that I’ve let my client down. This is officially the first ever wedding I’ve missed and words cannot describe how horrible I feel. Laura and Iain as I told you before; I am so incredibly sorry – I don’t know how yet, but will make it up to you…
