PHOTOS June 2011

-->
Hi,  Festival season approaches!
I have some exciting Photoshoots lined up.
Some of the artists I follow are doing well. Emeli Sande is supporting Alicia Keys at the Albert Hall this week. 
Check her new songs on YouTube, I love 'Heaven' and her voice sounds incredible. She releases her first album this year. Broken Records toured in the US and Hurts are playing the major festivals.  
I've seen some exciting new artists this year and I look forward to the summer gigs.

I have some writing projects I am motivated over - while I still love photography I need the challenge of writing.  It's a huge focus of my time and inspires my work. My Poems and my Artist in Us.  My 'Hot Guys' gallery continues to get interest!  
Music Photography is all about 'who you know'! Yes really. I've made many wonderful contacts over the years totally 'off my own bat' and through lots of hard work and perseverance. Maybe also as the feedback to my work has been so positive.

My MUSICFOOTNOTES Blog gets good interest worldwide -  the Stats are very interesting and hits from places like Russia, Iran and Japan.
Please check my 'Dylan Forever Young Concert Review'  -  http://www.musicfootnotes.com/2011/01/dylan-forever-young-tribute-concert-at.html
and 'George Martin: Known as the Fifth Beatle Blog.'
My most popular blogs.  New Blogs - 'Stag and Dagger.  I've recently written some of my thoughts on Dylan and the Beatles for my Blog, two of my biggest musical heroes.   
Please contact me if interested in a review or/and photoshoot.

'I’m a big fan of your work, very animated!’ David Craig, DJ and promoter.
'Thanks a million - you really got it! Some great pictures right across the park - very good close ups and crowd scenes too. You seem to have captured the whole event, bags of atmosphere. You used the light exceptionally well : rain and sunshine too with bags of contrast. They are full of life and really catch the spirit of the festival!  Robert Kay, Director Kilsyth festival
