Today I became a Tea connoisseur ....

When you are in London get yourself to Soho, Berwick Street or Camden Lock, Yum Chaa is the Tea Nirvana. I grabbed some shots while enjoying a cuppa. How British. !!! with and Asian slant.

My favourite was Adventure! but Black Tea, Red Tea, White Tea and loads I never saw try them all. !!!

Anyway all my shoots will now start there. Starbucks you are so yesterday.!!

I even got to work WIFI charge free with my cuppa !!

My Actor Private Project continues....

A good friend of mine and investor in the Movie Industry, Mike Hetherington provided me with a great chance last night to see another funny, gore riddled movie in the sick but comical genre.

We went to the film premiere for DOGHOUSE featuring one of my favourite new british gangster actors Danny Dyer. So a chance to have a mingle and a chat was great. Me and Danny below, the blond artist in the back ground is the Director Jake West ( Big Horror man)

The film was actually quite fun. Really great start, all the elements you want in the genre, probably could have finished 5 minutes earlier, but always happy to hear Danny's one liners.

We ended up at the Penthouse in Leicester Square and managed to take the little camera along for a nice evening shot across London. Hopefully you can see the London Eye, Big Ben amongst others.

Thanks to Mike, and hopefully a couple more shots in line for the Actor project.

Go see the film !!!!

I was asked to speak at the London Nikon User Group

With my continued blogging focus this month I wanted to thank Michael Eleftheriades from the London Nikon User Group for inviting me to speak to the Nikon members on my style and focus on Wedding Photography.

It was a great evening and a number of Pro's gave me some great and positive comments about how I was able to influence and impart new ideas. The evening was to motivate and stimulate discussions around the changing environment that is Wedding Photography.

In truth I enjoyed the stage and although I prefer working and doing the feedback from peers was a great feeling and assurance that m passion for all things photographic was not mis-guided or indeed wasted.

Thanks Mike, I look forward to contributing where I can in the future.

Helping out a Friend

I have not been posting for a while with facebook, twitter, myspace, forums and Nikon User Groups I just dont know how people get the time to work. Bad boy I know.

So I decided to get back to it. Expect a splurge in the next few days.

I got a call from a mate of mine late Friday. What do you do ? Well with Camera in hand, a great venue, nice weather and CANES !!! Of course Stewart Randall Photography I will be there to do my thing !! The NEXT day.!

I know Stewart will be there for me should the need arise, best part is we had a real blast and I had no post processing to do !!! A weekend off.~!! yahoo.

I like nice surprising at Weddings and Canes were one I had not seen to date so thought I would share.

Stewart asked me not to post stuff but these two I could not resist. Sorry Stewart. Love to Jules and thanks for asking me I had fun being a second shooter, chilling and letting someone else direct for once. Call me anytime !

Come See Me... we can talk camera and jump drives.

Just a quick photographic resource that I will be supporting. My album vendor will be there so I will be hanging around for questions and chats....

FILM PREMIERE.......

I rarely get star struck but this week I got invited to a film premiere from one of my brides and I had a great time mingling with a little camera paparazzi style. I say style only because i had fun getting some discrete images for the kick rather than any use. I was there to enjoy a great movie, very funny British comedy with a few twists and a great deal of big giggles, laugh out loud stuff. If you like British humour, can stand a little appropriate swearing and want to see a new wave of fun actors and actress' go check out the film.

The First SNOW's  in  2 decades (well useful snow)

I decided to get out and be a little hardcore after the first few images of the morning. I have never woken up to 15 inches of snow, or a man skiing past my windows.

I then got all holga and arty and decided that the D3 needed to be set to SQUARE images and I went out and saw the world through a square window. 

Now a 7 year old knows how to play in the snow and it brought the child out in many adults also.

When I woke up this morning, I had to reach for the iphone !!

As they say the best camera in the world is the one you have with you. Today Antonio Sanzari Photography is closed. Cutting some tubes and wakes and being snow balled to death. !
