More Video Blogging – Off to South Africa!

My brother and his fiancée, who feels more and more like a sister as we get to know one another, when I went out for lunch with them earlier this year. I’ve been counting blessings of late, and they definitely are one each and a whole ‘nother one together.
The band that my brother is in, The Freezing Fog have just finished recording and mixing their next album. It’s not going to be out for a bit, but they needed some promo pictures, so I offered / agreed to do some for them… Here’s the best one, but if you click through there are a couple more 😉

Hooray for letting time pass and then finding new joy in old endeavours 🙂
It’s entirely possible that I am playing Too Much Spore(tm), but I had to share this with y’all…
It’s for spreading LOVE! 😉

Wow… Thanks so much to everyone that came along on Friday evening to the Private View. I had a great time, saw lots of people that I was not expecting and generally had a great time. I had a real sense of pride and gratitude that I have these wonderful people in my life, who all came together to experience my work, talk about it and have a few drinks together. I can’t tell you how lucky I feel right now.
Saturday was quiet, but lovely. I had some people who were just walking by, and some people who made a special trip, including one of the senior Application Engineers where I am working, a former colleague from SpinVox and a couple from my local friends who were not able to come on Friday night.
Shortly I am heading out to see if anyone comes by today; more to follow…
Yesterday there was an article in the Reading Chronicle about my exhibition. Thanks are due to
Photographer records the year with portfolio of 366 pictures
A photographer with plenty of focus is staging a unique exhibition of the 366 people who occupied a year of his life.
Oliver Godby, of Kennet Walk, is presenting 366 portraits- one taken every day for a year, of friends, family, and chance encounters with strangers.
The project, which is free to view, will be displayed at Blake’s Lock Museum, on the River Kennet from September 13-18.
The 33-year-old said: “My aim was to take an interesting photo of someone I knew or met before midnight every day for a whole year to create a portfolio which would be as much about my life as those I photographed.
“The original challenge was to find 365 ways of taking someone’s portrait that would give some insight into their character and be an interesting photograph.”
The artist and freelance computer programmer started the project on May 10, 2007 on his 32nd birthday and then realised that 2008 is a leap year and he needed an extra picture on February 29.
The pictures feature subjects ranging from babies to pensioners, photographed in Britain and abroad.
Oliver’s love of photography stems from an old school friend, and from his father Clifford Godby, who is still a keen photographer today.
He said “I am interested is all areas of photography, but my primary focus has always been taking pictures of people. I enjoy event photography of all kinds, weddings, parties, gigs as well as fashion and fine art.
“My hope is to advance my art by taking photographs as often as I can, and one day to make my living doing what I love.”
He hopes to present his exhibition in other places in the UK, and to produce a book, based on the stories of his subjects.
Oliver added: “I am hoping that this exhibition will stimulate people to think about the people they meet every day, and to consider taking special portraits of their friends and family”

Last night and tonight, thanks to the help of some friends who have been more than generous with their time and support, I have hung the show, and now I can say that tomorrow evening I will be opening my first exhibition, and I am so proud, thankful, excited, scared and wired.
A whole year of my life is hanging on those walls… Seems like only yesterday that Heppie and I were joking together about how mad one would have to be to attempt to take a portrait of a different person every day for a year.
I look forward to seeing those of you who can make it, we will think of and toast those of you that can’t, and I will let you all know how it all goes.
Night night all 🙂
