Presenting at the YPU Keighley Day 2023
Back home now after a fantastic weekend in Yorkshire having been sponsored by Adobe to present at the YPU (Yorkshire Photographic Union) Keighley Day.
L to R: Yours Truly, YPU President Richard Littlefair, YPU President Elect Christine Hodgson and Ross McKelvey
Great to meet so many nice people who had made me feel so incredibly welcome from the moment I arrived on the Friday evening.
Wonderful too, to finally spend some quality time with Ross McKelvey who was also presenting.
He ‘took to the stage’ for the first part of day and it was so good to be able to kick back and watch as he firstly talked through prints of some of his wonderful images and then shared some of his retouching techniques.
Yep … a great couple of days spent with some great people PLUS a BIG thank you to Rufus Deuchler from Adobe for putting my name forward.
I'm now a Brand Ambassador for Calibrite
Proud to announce that I am now a Brand Ambassador for Calibrite
I've been using Calibrite (formerly X-Rite) calibration products for a number of years to make sure that what I see on my screen, and ultimately edit, is accurate with regards to colour, brightness and contrast, which then leads to the best possible print.
Very happy to have been approached because those that know me, know that I never approach a company; I've always believed that if you put the work in and are consisent then it's only a matter of time before good things happen.

UPDATE 💥 The FACTS ABOUT GENERATIVE FILL in PHOTOSHOP 2024
Generative Fill and Generative Expand in Photoshop ... Low Resolution or High Resolution? Will that change? Will it cost me to have High Resolution results? Is it 1024px square or 2000px square? Does using a smaller selection work better? What about the future? What about credits?
There's a PROBLEM with GENERATIVE FILL AI in PHOTOSHOP 2024 😳 Photographers ... Be Aware!

THIS is why I do what I do ❤️
A few weeks back I took the portrait of the wonderful Di Edwards; wife of the late David Edwards ( World War 2 Veteran) and a family that, thanks to my 39-45 Portraits Project I have become very close to.
Well, yesterday ( 31st July 2023 ) I popped over to Abergavenny, Wales to see Di and her son Chris and to take the printed portraits over to them and I simply could noty have wished for a better reaction.
As the title of this post says … THIS is why I do what I do❤️
Here’s the portraits that I took; both of which were using natural light coming in through a large sliding patio door that leads out onto Di’s garden …
Di and her son Chris
When leaving, as always we had a hug but I’ll forever cherish that she said “I’m blessed to have you as a friend”
Ditto that Di ❤️
Di and her late husband, David Edwards … the best of human-kind right there !
