In Development / by Rob Sutherland

I am just working on a collaboration with some good friends of mine to offer a workshop weekend which could be pretty exciting. I will let you all know when there is something a little more concrete to work with, but just now it is in the early concept phase.

Today is pretty miserable outside, wet and windy, so I haven’t got a great deal done beyond chasing car folk - between insurance companies, repair companies, car dealers and potentially car buyers it has all been a bit crazy. I am waiting for another call back to finally get that all in order so that Friday should see the change from the Jeep back to a Toyota… which will be handy should I be in Glasgow or Edinburgh any time soon with the imminent congestion charging (and my Jeep being the antithesis of environmental transport). Tomorrow I have a meeting about electricity and then probably knuckling down to drawing up technical planning documents and/or evicting the chickens and ducks off the driveway and onto the grassy patch by the ruins so that the driveway can become just that once more and we can stop churning up the front apron.

My work on new property photography techniques is going at pace and the results are starting to look REALLY good. I still want to up the ante a little more however, but getting all the kit charged up and then into a Fiat Panda is proving more tricky. Once the new car arrives that should give me scope to really start doing something interesting though! I am going to start out using the twin Honeybadger studio lights, but I really need a third unit and my options are to add another Honeybadger or change that whole system to Godox which is much lighter and more versatile.

So loads going on and about to go off, but it has been a very quiet end to the financial year with only 1 week left and only 1 job booked in for that week at present. Hopefully the 2023-2024 FY will be much stronger as the foundations laid this year begin to be built on!
