Family Portraits with a Difference

While on a well earned family break in the winter sun of Havana, I encountered a street 'portrait' photographer in Havana Cuba. Using an old style Kodak camera it was fascinating to watch him and his assistant work. Getting his subjects to still still seemed to be a problem for Jose Gonzalo. He has been working the streets of Havana for 20 years and taken around fives minutes to take and develop the photos. I must say, it was like a history lesson in real time, even if my hand stung of slight acid burn as I walked off with my 2 inch by 2 inch print. More travel photographs are available on www.urbanfoto.co.uk and the blog associated with that site.
Now back from holiday and back at work Greg Forbes, Perthshire based wedding photographer is now taking bookings for 2009 and 2010. I cover Perth, Fife, Highlands, Glasgow, Stirling, Dundee, Edinburgh and the Borders. Please feel free to contact me through my website www.gregforbesphotography.com or on email greg4bs@aol.com .

Prediction for 2009


During a working trip to New York last summer I noticed how coloured 'Vitamin Water' was everywhere in the shops. I wonder how long I thought to myself before this stuff is marketed in the UK. A few months. Today as I stopped by Costa coffee I nearly fell into an advertising board for......you guested it Vitamin Water. Coming to a shop near you soon.
For more information on my non wedding photography and to show you what I am up to when I am not shooting weddings please have a look at www.urbanfoto.co.uk.
