Photo opportunities

I put a message on the Fringe website forum offering my photography services free of charge to anyone that wished them.

This has already borne some fruit, and I've now got an invite to take photos at a performance of an Irish 'electro-folk' singer and to take publicity shots of a 'struggling actor' for his portfolio.

Of course, I'm really hoping that last year's Dracula troupe read my offer and get in touch...

I've always wanted to appear at the festival...

Got a comment on this photo on Flickr yesterday from someone organising an exhibition running as part of the festival at the Radisson hotel on the High Street.

Apparently - although there is always a risk these kind of things don't come to pass - my shot is one of 50 that will be exhibited in hotel, and the print will be available for purchase.

This will be nice if it happens...

Godspeed, Royal Mail

I've just realised the tickets I'm waiting for the postman to deliver are the single highest-value item I'll have ever had drop through my letterbox...

I will be so relieved when I hear that particular thud on the doormat.

One month and counting

Only one month until this year's Edinburgh Festival kicks off...

So far, I have two weeks off work and tickets to over 50 shows.

Everything from physical theatre, vaudeville shows, modern dance, Japanese drama, Shakespeare in a circus tent, Will Self at the Book Festival...and much, much more.

This blog is intended as a place for me to blog events, show reviews, the best of the photos I take - and to give my daily hangover a mark out of 10...

Bring it on...
