Fashion Show

If you have been following this blog this year you may remember me talking about a charity group that I have become involved with called People and Gardens.  Initially a friend asked if I would like to help photograph a fundraising fashion show they were putting on. Well it took place on the 22nd November and it was a brilliant evening. The guys thoroughly enjoyed themselves and performed on the cat walk with such confidence it put me to shame.

So here is a selection of photos taken on the night.

 Sorry to say I cannot remember this chap's name - he is extremely shy and this was such an amazing achievement for him - he was so pleased with himself as we all were.

James - just loving it and danced his way down the cat walk and back

Phyllis lapping up the atmosphere.

 

It was a great evening, it took a lot to get on the catwalk. I did it as well and I don't have the issues the guys do - they are a true inspiration. Feel very honoured to know them.

 

Amanda also took part, she was being made up hair and make up and then went on the catwalk on her own.

 

 

So that is all done now and I am now going to concentrate on Christmas preps and two Christmas Scavenger hunts one on Lucky 7's  and one Joy is doing on facebook and her blog.  Please feel free to join in with both or either.

 

Have a good weekend. xx

 

 

 

 

 

A good day

Had a wonderful morning today.  I went along to People and Gardens in Pentewan. My photography partner in crime (Dave) had offered our services to photograph a charity fashion show they are putting on later this year.  So we went along to meet everyone.  Turns out the lady who runs it with her husband already knew me, took me awhile to remember her!! oops.  Anyway everyone there was really lovely, we had a tour around all the greenhouses and this is where all the plants for the Eden project are grown!!!  Such amazing work going on here by these individuals with learning disabilities and those that work with them.  Anyway, thinking we would only be there about an hour we ended up being there for 4hrs!!!  and came away with a couple of new projects as well as the original plan. One is to create a calendar that they can then sell to raise funds and two to create a time line of photos for the tomatoes they grow that go into Cornish Ketchup which hopefully the Eden Project will display in their educational centre!!  Also hoping the guy from Cornish Ketchup will let us in to photograph his process.  So more exciting stuff to keep us going through the year. :)

 Daily Photo 64 - our garage - otherwise known as Mick's office or junk room!!! He has decided to put a pitched roof on it this year, so thought I had best get a before shot in first.
