A few moments from the tour of the Churchill War R

A few moments from the tour of the Churchill War Rooms on the occasion of Faroese Flag Day celebrations.

Here, members of the Faroese delegation and the Imperial War Museum, including Bádur á Steig Nielsen, Prime Minister of the Faroe Islands; Dame Diane Lees, Director General IWM; Kate Sanderson, Head of Representations.

The Government of the Faroe Islands marked this wonderful occasion with an event programme including:
A tour of the Churchill War Rooms - Kate Clements, Imperial War Museum;
Drinks reception;
Welcome & introduction - Kate Sanderson, Head of Representations;
Welcome to the Churchill War Rooms - Dame Diane Lees, Director General IWM;
Flag Day Address - Bádur á Steig Nielsen, Prime Minister of the Faroe Islands;
Remarks on behalf of the British Government;
The Legacy of the Friendly Occupation - Ivan Hentze Nicalsen, historian and CEO of the Faroese Broadcasting Corporation;
Operation Valentine, a performance of sound and images - Jens L Thompson and Kirstin Helgadóttir;
Food reception in the Harmsworth Room, including quality, salmon kindly provided by Bakkafrost.

For me, as guest and event photographer, the occasion was significant, moving and deeply informative, revealing a point in history when my father - posted to the Faroe Islands as a mine disposal officer - met my mother, who was from Sumba, a village on the Island of Suderoy.

When economic times are good [for some] cranes are

When economic times are good [for some] cranes are a dominant feature of the skyline.
Here, a wonderful London sunset. While looking west along the Thames we catch a glimpse of miniature people at Blackfriars Station on a platform that spans the River.
Blaackfriars derives it’s name after a Dominican priory established in 1276 at the foot of nearby [off to the right] Ludgate Hill. As you’ll have guessed, Dominican friars wore black robes.

I was approached by Cambridge University RAG commi

I was approached by Cambridge University RAG committee, last year, and commissioned to make artistic photographs for their 2022 Blues Naked Calendar!

The calendars, featuring 12 of the Cambridge Blues teams, were sold to raise money in support of 4 charities:
Jimmy’s Cambridge
Teenage Cancer Trust
Student Minds
Rainforest Trust

Although the calendars are no longer available to buy, the charities are still there to make donations to. We’re living in a time where the needs of others locally, nationwide and across the world are increasingly dependent upon the continuing goodwill and generosity of our nation community. Might I please encourage you to look-up these charities online and make a donation - perhaps a small donation to each over the coming four months - to support them in their critical work that impacts the lives of people in Cambridge and across the UK.

Here’s the merry month of May’s image: the Men’s American Football Team photographed at sunrise in the Botanic Garden. A brave team on the field, I’m sure; quite a different story here when the moment came!

The basic idea was to be able to assemble, make a composition, do a dry run, followed by the actual photograph, in the shortest possible time. The artistic, compositional elements were down to me to make on the spot, dependent on the location, the weather, the numbers of Blues who turned up, what equipment they had brought, and the background against which to photograph.

For me, shooting this genre was a first, for which I gave consideration before accepting. I concluded a) it was still only ‘photography’, and I’ve done some of that before, and b) there’s more nudity on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel!

Very kindly, the RAG committee cited on the calendar website “The best calendar yet!”
