Feeling Good

Well, I guess it's time for a bit more web space to be taken up by a rant from me :)

Saturday was a lovely day, so it was a great opportunity to head up the North Coast with my camera.

I am trying to work on a bit of a project at the moment, I keep changing my mind on the specifics, but we'll just see where it all takes me.

I asked Pete where his favourite place was in Northern Ireland, the place he feels most relaxed and can really let go. I should have know (he's always talking about it) he picked the White Rocks Beach up at Portrush. I thought it would be a really nice idea to capture people at their happiest. We are all constantly rushing about, stressing over this and that, and working too hard these days. So I believe it's nice to capture people in their most peaceful state, it's something we don't really see too often. Maybe it's me that's rushing about too much and not noticing that people are happy and enjoying life. That said I wanted to try and get this freedom captured as naturally as possible.

Pete did a great job, he's very photogenic and was able to just take himself off round the beach and not worry about a big camera all up in his face!

Below I have a few examples of what I shot, I'm pretty happy with the outcome, lots more to come though. I just need more volunteers? Where are your favourite places, where do you go to clear the mind...

Come to think of it I don't even know where my place is...
