Do unto others

This is the 100th post.
If someone had told me in July last year that the Blog would last this long, I’d never have believed them.

As this is a special occasion, I thought we’d celebrate by approaching our photographic journey from a slightly different angle.

For a while I have been musing on the subject of fairness. Rich and I are very careful to always maintain equality in our relationship. This is not always achieved, mind you, but at least we try.

So I have been thinking about the subject of fairness in our photography. In particular, how could Rich ask models to pose nude if he hadn’t tried it himself?
So I decided to put the photographer in front of the camera for a shoot, and for once I would keep my clothes on!

After much muttering about how gross this was going to look, how much he needed to diet, and how this would REALLY put off potential models, I managed to bully him into it, using heavy handed blackmail tactics:
“Why not ? Are ya chicken?”
And that type of thing.
Plus several beers.

So, kudos to Rich for having the balls (!) to whip his kit off, all in the name of Art.
Not that this is Art, mind you.
It’s just me struggling to lift an incredibly heavy camera, whilst receiving a crash-course in how to operate a light meter and position the lights (very simply). Thanks to Rich for his guidance and patience!

Did we enjoy it ? Umm……Let’s just say it was an experience.

Since the shoot, he keeps muttering about how much he aches.

Revenge is sweet.
