This is George Liu, a young and very talented saxophonist. It was a pleasure to shoot him as this is my first time shooting musicians. I guess I should really start taking more portraits.
It was one of the worst days for a photoshoot. It was windy, it was cold, and worst of all, there was barely any light.
I noticed in post that some of photographs were a little dim. Seems like I have to get used to pressing that "+" sign on the flash unit...
I honestly do think that the photographs aren't what I expected. My assistant ditched me for some club activities so I was left with a light tripod with a homemade umbrella holder, and a flash unit diffused with a white translucent umbrella. Someone holding a reflector for some fill would be nice, but with me alone, it would be nearly impossible to do that.

St George's church in the Paddox area of Rugby is a striking example of postwar church architecture, having been built in 1961 by Denys Hinton Associates. The original 1930s building now serves as the church hal to which it is annexed by a porch. (this place holds memories for me, having grown up nearby and attended playschool at the church hall in 1976-7).
The interior is spacious and uncompromisingly modern, matching the simplicity of the exterior. The outstanding feature for me is the fine sculpted font by John Bridgeman, adorned with four stylised angel figures and standing in a watery mosaic, which extends through the glazing outdoors, from where the font uniquely also becomes a major feature externally..

George Michael is without a doubt one of the greatest pop artists alive. His career spans 25 years, including his early successes with Wham! and many sensational solo albums since the 1986. In all, George Michael has sold over 80 million records and has toured every corner of the world.
John Chilton wrote "Goodtime George" which became George's theme song. The lyrics describe his pleasure loving lifestyle. He frequently opened his show with the song. The closing number was usually "Nuts", a song ostensibly dealing with the fruit of certain trees, contained within a hard shell, popular with squirrels. In fact, it dealt with a quite different type of nut!
George Wheler (1650-1723) was born in the Netherlands to a royalist English family that had fled Cromwellian England. He fathered eighteen children. In 1675-1676 he travelled in Greece and Asia Minor with J. Spon. As he believed that sharing the perils and expenses of a journey meant sharing also the scientific results, he published this chronicle. However, it is but a mediocre copy of Spon's work.
The two travellers started out from Venice, called in at Zante (Zacynthos) and Cerigo (Cythera), then visited Delos and ended up in Constantinople. After passing through Bursa and Thyateira, Wheler and Spon spent some time in Smyrna. On their second trip, they travelled to Zacynthos, Patras and thence to Delphi. Then they made their way to Athens, from where they toured Attica. In contrast to his travelling companion, Wheler was motivated by curiosity rather than an inclination towards ancient scholarship.
During his journey, Wheler collected more than a thousand plants, which he donated to Oxford University, together with the antiquities he had acquired (sculptures, inscriptions and coins). The Greek and Latin manuscripts were given to Lincoln College. After his voyage, Wheler was ordained and followed an clerical career. In 1689, he published a treatise on early Christian churches.
His chronicle was published in 1682 and never republished again. It describes Zakynthos, Delos, Istanbul, Bursa, Thyateira, Ephesus, Delphi, Corinth and Athens. The chapters on Athens and Attica contain references to Herodotus and Pausanias and drawings of ancient monuments and inscriptions. They speak of the modern city, the climate, administration, local customs and the situation of the Church as well as local products and commerce. Wheler, like Spon, also makes commentaries on language In spite of its inexactitudes, Wheler's book came to be the major text of reference on Athenian monuments up until the publication of James Stuart's and Nicholas Revett's work. His description of Athens (plagiarism notwithstanding), his map of Attica (that he calls “Achaia”), drawn in his particular technique, and his observations on botany constitute his work into a model text of British travel literature.

İngiliz kökenli George Wheler (1650-1723) krallık rejimi taraftarı olması nedeniyle Cromwell iktidarındaki İngiltere'den uzakta sürgün yaşayan bir aile içinde Hollanda'da doğdu. Yaşamı boyunca 18 çocuğu oldu. Kent ve Oxford'da öğrenim gördükten sonra 1673 yılında Fransa, İsviçre ve İtalya'yı kapsayan bir yolculuğa çıkar. İtalya seyahati sırasında Venedik'teyken Jacob Spon'la tanışır ve birlikte Doğu'ya seyahat etmeyi kararlaştırırlar. J. Spon ile 1675-1676 yıllarında yaptığı Yunanistan ve Anadolu (Ege Bölgesi) yolculuğundan sonra, Wheler, bir seyahatin tehlike ve masraflarının ortaklaşa paylaşılmasının "bilimsel sonuçlarının da paylaşılması" anlamına geldiğini sayıp 1682'de seyahatnamesini yayınlar ancak bu yayın Spon'ın 1678'de yayınladığı yapıtının vasat bir kopyası olmaktan ileri gitmez.
Venedik'ten yola çıkarak Zakynthos (Zante adası) ve Kithira'ya (Çuha adası) uğradılar, daha sonra Delos adasından geçerek İstanbul'a vardılar. Yolculuklarının devamında Bursa ve Akhisar (Thyateira)'dan geçerek İzmir'e varıp bir süre burada kaldılar. Yaptıkları ikinci yolculukta ise Zakynthos'dan Patras'a geçip Delfi'ye geldiler, oradan Atina'ya gidip buraları ve tüm Attika'yı gezdiler. Yolculuk arkadaşının tersine Wheler'in esas amacı arkeolojik bilgilerini derinleştirmekten çok bu yerlerle ilgili merakını gidermekti.
Wheler yolculuğu sırasında derlediği binden fazla bitkiyi ve heykel, yazıt, sikke gibi arkeolojik nesneyi Oxford Üniversitesine armağan ader; sahip olduğu yunanca ve latince elyazmaları ise Lincoln College'e verilir. Seyahatten döndükten sonra papaz olup kilise kariyeri yapar. Wheler 1689 yılında ilk hıristiyan kiliseleriyle ilgili bir kitap daha yayınlar.
1682'de yayınlanan ve bir daha basılmayan seyahatnamesinde Zante, Delos adaları, İstanbul, Bursa, Thyateira (Akhisar), Efes, Delfi, Korint ve Atina betimlenmekte. Atina'ya ayrılmış bölümler Herodot ve Pausanias'a yapılan göndermeler yanısıra eski anıtlardan eskizler, yazıtlar ve çağdaş şehir hakkında, iklim, yönetim, insanların alışkanlıkları, kilisenin durumu, ürünler ve ticaret hayatıyla ilgili ayrıntılı bilgiler içermekte. Kitapta ayrıca Spon'ın metninde de görüldüğü gibi dil konusuna da çeşitli yorumlara yer verilmekte. Wheler'in Akropolis üzerinde bulunan anıtlar hakkında anlattıkları, tutarsızlıklarına rağmen, J. Stuart ve N. Revett'in kitabının yayımına dek bu konuda esas betimleyici metin olarak kabul edilmişti. Telif hırsızlığına rağmen Atina şehri betimlemesi, Achaia olarak adlandırdığı Attika yarımadası haritası ve botanolojik gözlemleri sayesinde Wheler'in yapıtı ingiliz gezi edebiyatının örnek yapıtları arasında yer almaktadır.
