She tauld thee weel thou was a skellum, a blethering, blustering, drunken vellum; that frae November till October, ae market-day thou was nae sober. O Tam, had'st thou but been sae wise, as taen thy ain wife Kate's advice!

Well not exactly Kate's Bush, but it was The Wild and Windy Moor of Black Tor Falls!
Thought I would re-visit having only been there once before but alas the weather was not in my favour so a battle with the elements inevitably ended in the elements winning! ;)

So Kate, who is a local Bronte lass, was turning 60 in December and approached me to do a series of shots of her. She is a tri-athlete, super super fit (time for me to stress that I am most definitely not ;)) and a big swimmer. Kate was also off in early January to volunteer with Medecins Sans Frontiere, as she is a specialist in Infectious Diseases, for a year .....in Sudan!.
So I thought we had to do some in the ocean and she wholeheartedly agreed. We had a short time capsule before she left and with underwater shots with people around here you got to be sort of prepared. The tide has to be right, the light has to be right, the water temperature has to be right so swimmer/photographer can take lots of shots and be comfortable, water clarity has to be right with no rain for days before etc etc.
We had a 2 hour window before she flew out one morning and she arrived down to Clovelly Beach, as triathletes often do, on her bicycle. It had been raining for a few days prior - the water was murky, there was a north easterly...the water was the coldest in summer in years...totally freezing. It was too early in the morning, lightwise for underwater, and the tide was too high.
I had a crazy sort of frozen smile on my face saying 'don't worry Kate, we will be fine', inside I am thinking this is a disaster. We went in and the shots were not great...not great at all. A few moments later she said 'Rosie, I cannot do this - its too cold'. I wrapped her in my big blanket towel and said we have to try one more time in there. Kate then started to do some advanced yoga movements to warm up...needless to say I did(nor could not) join her and proceeded to share with her, while she downward dogged, my secret to staying warm which is eating lots and lots of butter.
In we go a few minutes later and for a few rare moments the sun shone through the murky waters and I got 'the shot' and gave her the thumbs up. I reckon because she was off to do such saintly work the gods shone on us for those few minutes to allow her to have an image of herself in cold cold water whilst she is camped out in the hot hot desert of Sudan.
My cameras are amazing not just for the coolness of taking images but also they have have brought me in to contact with such amazing inspiring people like Kate.

Kate was one of my first real professional models I ever worked with. There were a couple of other models but non who had Kate's experience. It was kind of intimadating, scary booking her but once we met it was lovely. I learned a great deal from Kate and have only very fond memories of our session.

Meet Kate She was a wonderful model to work with! (Its easy shooting pretty!)
I also had the pleasure of shooting with an other Flickr photog on this too.
He is the king of lighting...
Got to play with his toys...makes for great back-lighting... Thanks bud.
More later....
For the geeks... this is SOOC... and the first shot... the other 8 did not come out at all...
Thora Kate and I have fallen for another talented artist in the community! Cagla of the fierce Blythe Chic boutique made this lovely and amazing creation and we are in total love with it! The fabric is so beautiful and I have never seen such lovely colors and textures like this!
Thora Kate feels like she is on the red carpet (even though we are in the yard...hehehehe) and really worked it in these photos. I captured her showing the dress in every angle as she turned!
Hope all is well and thanks for looking!

In the 1950's, this was the only place neighborhood kids had room enough to play ball. From a child's point of view, the fountain and shelter ruin the park for ball playing.
Kate posing in the garden with a dancing monkey, recently aquired from a trip to Flamingo Zoo. Not many photos were taken at our second home in Doncaster. We moved here in May 1996 and by April 1997 I had moved to Gloucester, the girls followed in June 1997 when our new home had been built.
My first time checking out Kate Sessions Park. Nice view of the city but it helps to have a clear night and a long lens. I shot this with the Sony a7RII and an adapted Canon 70-200mm lens.

After "Genevieve and the Daisies" a friend of mine suggested that I try the double exposure trick again, on purpose this time. My goal was to create something that reflected the Holidays without being too cheesy. So, I set out around my grandparents neighborhood one evening in hopes of photographing some great front yard lights with 2 rolls of Kodak VC 400 speed film and the trusty AE1. I snapped away with the ccchhaaa of the shutter crrrrank of the winder, surely stirring a few creatures (maybe even a mouse) on that quiet evening. Noting every shot on my little notepad, I was hoping to frame it all perfectly. The next day I shot Kate and Chance in the forrest with the hope that the trees around them would look "lit" with christmas lights. I have to say that I got very lucky on a few. My intern even asked, "What tool in photoshop did you use to get all of those red thingies in her hands that look like lights?" Another friend said no one would believe me if I just sent out the photo my intern was talking about so, this is it!
