Thanks to everyone who got in contact with me to offer themselves as models for my portfolio. The response was great and I now have enough people taking part to fill the day. The date has been set for next weekend so hopefully I’ll have lots of gorgeous shots to show for it (I’m just keeping my fingers crossed for some good weather!).

May I Take Your Photo?
Would you be interested in modelling for me? I’m in the process of building up a photography portfolio and I need your help. I’m looking for people of all ages, couples, individuals and families who would be interested in having their photographs taken for free at a location somewhere in Dublin (to be decided) in about two weeks time (I’m thinking a Saturday would probably be best for people). It would only take about an hour of your time and I would give anyone who took part a free image at the end of it all. Of course, you would have to be willing for me to use the photographs in my portfolio but don’t worry, I won’t use your name if you don’t want me to! Just scroll through my blog for examples of my photos but here and here are a good place to start. You could also check out my Flickr stream.
So, if you’re interested, email me at gingerpixelATyahooDOTcoDOTuk, tell me a bit about yourself and details of who you would like me to photograph and I’ll give you some more information.
Update: Thanks everyone for your response…I now have enough models for the day.
Easter Fun
So how was your Easter? Eve wasn’t well over the weekend but she made a miraculous recovery once she spotted her haul of Easter eggs on Sunday morning. We had a great day at my parent’s house yesterday, hunting eggs, eating far too much sugar and running around like maniacs…and no, that wasn’t just the kids.




The chocolate come-down was a bummer though:

Pet Cemetery

Taken at the pet cemetery on the grounds of Powerscourt House in County Wicklow. The inscription reads:
Died August 10th 1938
Loved and faithful friend for 14 yrs.
You’ve gone old friend
A grief too deep for tears
Fills all the emptiness
You’ve left behind
Gone is the dear
Companionship of years
The love that passed
All love of humankind
ooooookaay, after all, people do feel quite strongly about their pets…but their cows??

The House On The Hill II

I took the photograph above just as we were about to leave. We were starting to feel a bit paranoid hearing dogs barking and watching for someone to appear and chase us off. I was sorry to go because I had only just started to explore the dairy and the stables that adjoined the house. They weren’t so spooky but it was like they’d been frozen in time:
