Two bits of news ...

It doesn't seem all that long since I told you that we were expecting Finley, but now I have the pleasure of telling you that we're expecting another one (which we're reliably informed is a girl) on April 16th of next year. Our house will probably be extremely hectic for many years to come :-)

Oh, and if you come across any good deals on second-hand 8-seater MPV's or small minibuses, please let me know, as our 7-seater car is about to be made redundant. I did offer to stay at home and let Libby take the kids everywhere, but it wasn't a popular suggestion ;-)

And that's the first bit of news.

The second bit – and this is the work issue I mentioned recently – is that I'll be leaving my current job (as a lecturer in Higher Education) in the New Year to run chromasia on a more full-time basis. As many of you know we set up chromasia as a company around 18 months ago, but it's something we've done in conjunction with my other job.

Recently, the University I work for has been going through a restructuring process which has involved a voluntary severance offer. I applied, and was accepted; and in many ways I'll be sad to go, not least because I've worked with much the same group of people for the last 11 years, and I'll miss them. But it's also a really exciting opportunity. I'll finally have the time to write the online tutorials we've been promising for what seems like forever, we can now schedule some more face-to-face ones to run next year, I'll be able to do more commissions, and I'll have much more time to take photographs to post here. Lately, the blog side of things has been suffering a bit, so it will be really good to get back up to speed on posting stuff that I'm proud of rather than archive raiding for stuff that will suffice.

Anyway, I think that's about it for today ... new lives all round :-)

Oh, and no, this isn't a photograph, but given the circumstances I hope you'll let me off ;-)

Update: as I write this there are 81 comments on this entry – thank you – and I will reply to the various points you've raised; but not tonight. Yesterday was a very long day, and I now feel as though we've been clawing our way along an extremely dark and tortuous tunnel for far too long. Now, having emerged into the sunlight, I'm going to rest awhile. So tonight it's Chinese food, a good bottle of wine, a film, and a deep sigh of relief. Back soon.

And thanks again.

best news. congrats!

comment by JD at 09:53 PM (GMT) on 5 December, 2006

hmm i'm sure this will bring up the old debate of what a photography is....

hehe!!!!
only kidding. congratulations on the news ;)

No idea about the car thing? I reckon you should get a bus or a coach (none of that mini nonsense)...

Good luck with it all

comment by richy at 09:55 PM (GMT) on 5 December, 2006

Congratulations David.

2 new "projects" to look forward to, you must be extremely excited.
Good luck with both of them!!

comment by Eric at 09:58 PM (GMT) on 5 December, 2006

congrats! hope you got all the house renovations done since i saw you last june... things are sure to get crazy in the coming months.

i'm not too sad that this isn't a photo, afterall, you have created life. you can have a little wiggle room.

comment by stian at 10:02 PM (GMT) on 5 December, 2006

Congratulations!

You've almost gotten yourself a whole football-team ;)

comment by marcello at 10:11 PM (GMT) on 5 December, 2006

Wow, congratulations, new chapters of your life will be written!

comment by McAWilliams at 10:13 PM (GMT) on 5 December, 2006

Congrats David on this news, I recently became a father myself for the first time so even though this aint your first, those first images you see on that scan are the best pictures ever.

comment by Jamey at 10:14 PM (GMT) on 5 December, 2006

Congrats and best of luck with everything. If there's anything at all I can do to help please do let me know and I'll be only too happy :)

comment by Susie at 10:15 PM (GMT) on 5 December, 2006

Wow! Congratulations on the baby, that is very exciting news. Also, all my best on your career move. What an exciting 2007 you and your family will have.

comment by Pete McPhedran at 10:25 PM (GMT) on 5 December, 2006

David,

Congratulations to you and your whole family, if you haven't seen it rent: "Cheaper by the dozen". Sounds like you're half way there, so you may as well go for it ;-) I am 4 of 6 in my family and wouldn't have wanted it any other way.

Regards,

--Pete

comment by MikesRightBrain at 10:32 PM (GMT) on 5 December, 2006

Warm congratulations, David, on the bits of news on several fronts!

comment by Jennifer at 10:34 PM (GMT) on 5 December, 2006

comment by Paul at 10:39 PM (GMT) on 5 December, 2006

Congrats on all fronts!

comment by Chris Bamber at 10:40 PM (GMT) on 5 December, 2006

Excellent News!! Congratulations!!!

comment by doreen at 10:47 PM (GMT) on 5 December, 2006

holy crap! congratulations! maybe it's because i'm not even 20 years old yet, but i can't imagine having that many kids running around the house. i think i'd go insane XD

comment by Jide Alakija at 10:52 PM (GMT) on 5 December, 2006

To me your best shot on Chromasia. Good luck and God bless. Nice one DJN

comment by Matt Bingham at 11:02 PM (GMT) on 5 December, 2006

Blimey, you are a glutton for punishment aren't you??!!!

Seriously, though, congratulations but where and how do you find time for anything. I barely seem to have time for taking photographs at all and I haven't even got any kids. How do you manage your time so effectively?

comment by newanalog at 11:02 PM (GMT) on 5 December, 2006

You have more kids than anyone on the planet...that is a fact.

comment by Arthur at 11:05 PM (GMT) on 5 December, 2006

Many congratulations, DJN!

Look forward to following how everything turns out...

All the best

comment by PhilB at 11:06 PM (GMT) on 5 December, 2006

Great news on both counts. You'll be needing a coach soon! ;-)

Good news about the job too. I'm in a similar position in that I've been at my company for 11 years and am now looking to move into the world of photography (albeit gradually!) full time! It's a scary, but exciting time. Remember you only live once, and you'd probably always regret it if you didn't take the jump at some point.

Best of luck with that Dave. Looks like 2007 will be a very exciting year for you!

comment by Alistair - Digiphotology at 11:13 PM (GMT) on 5 December, 2006

Congratulations again to you both and all your family! Cheers Jez XX

comment by Jonathan Greenwald at 11:49 PM (GMT) on 5 December, 2006

Are you having more kids so that you never run out of baby photos? Just kidding.

Mazel Tov David. All the best to you an Libby!

comment by eterisk at 11:54 PM (GMT) on 5 December, 2006

congrats.. I am glad that you´re blessed with a new baby and get the oppurtunity to focus more on the photography, it´s a big step but I am sure that you manage it.

comment by laanba at 01:03 AM (GMT) on 6 December, 2006

A hearty congratulations to you and Libby. Looks like 2007 is going to be a fantastic year for you.

comment by John at 01:26 AM (GMT) on 6 December, 2006

Congrats Dave! I like the photo, but now everyone will think I copied you even though I put my mine up first. Looks like your image has much better resolution though. I visit daily and enjoy your work. I look forward to your full time efforts even though your family is obviously a full time job in itself.

comment by Sean at 01:59 AM (GMT) on 6 December, 2006

Congrats!!! I'm sure we will see many photos of this little one too. :)

comment by Andrew at 01:59 AM (GMT) on 6 December, 2006

Congratulations David. I see a lot happening in your future and all of it good. You are going to be a father and a professional full time photographer after leaving your job. My best wishes for your future.

comment by Pam R at 06:54 AM (GMT) on 6 December, 2006

Congrats all around! A new path has appeared and you're prepared. Sounds like it was meant to be : )

comment by John Washington at 06:58 AM (GMT) on 6 December, 2006

Congratulations Dave. So when I come over I've got one more 'fruit head' to contend with ;-)

Great shot, although I think you should have run it through noise ninja first ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

See you soon.


John

comment by Deb at 07:23 AM (GMT) on 6 December, 2006

*grins* Well.....clarity! You must be off your bleedin' rocker, mate. One small boy and a cat have driven me to ulcers, never mind 6 children!. Nah....seriously....you must be one of the most blessed and happy people I know. And I'm so happy that you're getting to do what you love best in the world....be with your wonderful family and exercise that great mind on creating things of outstanding beauty (I was referring to the photography there :p)

But yes, you'll be very much missed too. Will leave a big hole, DJ. (Might just join you on the great escape)

Give Libby and the spratlings my love and give me my dinner invitation before there's no damned room left at the dining table!
~xxx~

comment by Andre Malagodi at 07:25 AM (GMT) on 6 December, 2006

Congratulations and welcome to your new independent life

comment by owen at 08:31 AM (GMT) on 6 December, 2006

Congratulations Dave, I honestly don't know how you manage. I only have two young children and they're hard enough to look after! Does your other piece of news make you the first professional photoblogger? Either way, congratulations on that too - a great move.

comment by cy at 08:38 AM (GMT) on 6 December, 2006

Congrats! i love your site. this one caught me by surprise though. then to boot , your daughter is expected on my birthday. you should know this will make her an aries...strong willed , a bit hard headed , but loving and confident. it is the first sign of zodiac because of their tendancy to be leaders. so, congrats and happy holidays!

comment by Mal at 08:44 AM (GMT) on 6 December, 2006

One of my local tour operators was advertising a coach the other day, I could make an enquiry if you like? ;-)

Many many congratulations to you both firstly for the imminant arrival of Junior, I hope all goes well and look forward to more lovely Chromasia children. Congratulations also for the new focus on the Chromasia career, it will be a runaway success. Mal

comment by rj at 09:27 AM (GMT) on 6 December, 2006

Congratulations Dave! All the best with the Nightingale army you're constructing and I've no doubt that Chromasia Ltd will provide for all the University fees for the many years to come. - Richard

comment by Mystery Me at 09:57 AM (GMT) on 6 December, 2006

Forget the minibus, buy a Mini instead - it would make for an interesting photograph!
Congratulations, Dave.

comment by Ali at 10:15 AM (GMT) on 6 December, 2006

congradulations David! you have lovely children, the more the better ;) good luck with the new job, but what will you do with the psychology thing? that's also valuable :)

comment by craig @ www.id7.co.uk at 12:53 PM (GMT) on 6 December, 2006

the newly Blackpool Jubilee Tram should just about fit all your brood.... It was on "Disovery channel" this morning(I'm on Holiday hence daytime tv). Mate Congrats on the new bump, April Aries is a very good sign, three days before my birthday, she is therefore destined to be genius of course....

comment by craig @ www.id7.co.uk at 12:56 PM (GMT) on 6 December, 2006

restored, newly restored.... sorry oh and yeah your forgiven for the image, you added text and made it your own....

comment by parikha at 01:05 PM (GMT) on 6 December, 2006

congratulations, both on the new baby & the new career!

comment by Keith at 01:33 PM (GMT) on 6 December, 2006

Contrats on both pieces of news...Spending more time doing the thing that you enjoy most (and are so good at) is an enviable position to find yourself in.

comment by matt at 01:48 PM (GMT) on 6 December, 2006

Congrats to you expecting another one. And it's cool to see you making your passion for photography into a job. Good luck.

comment by mikelangelo at 02:18 PM (GMT) on 6 December, 2006

I'm jealous about your career opporutunity and very happy for your new little girl! Congratulations from the states!!

comment by NigelC at 02:24 PM (GMT) on 6 December, 2006

And the very best of luck in your new permanent career with Chromasia, I shall look forward to watching it all develop further over the comming months. I have never posted a comment here before, but today is special. I very much admire your work - thanks. Bon chance!

comment by Anne at 02:33 PM (GMT) on 6 December, 2006

It's odd, isn't it. I don't know you, but reading this makes me smile a warm smile. Congratulations! Wow, 5 children! We've got 4 children running around here, and it can be pretty hectic... would make a 5th one make a big diference? ;-) And congrats on the new job too, of course! Lots of changes to look forward to!

comment by Henrietta at 05:33 PM (GMT) on 6 December, 2006

Many congratulations, officially! I'm delighted for you all, and think your 'new' job sounds really exciting. 2007 is going to be a good year!

Goodness, a fifth child! Congratulations, and good luck! :)

comment by Gavin at 06:29 PM (GMT) on 6 December, 2006

Congrats Dave! on the photoblog before shes even born ;)

comment by Mark at 06:39 PM (GMT) on 6 December, 2006

Mr. DJN,

I'm sneaking this in to say that the real reason you've expecting another child is to have a never ending supply of cute little girls to photograph! As your two others get older, they won't be such willing participants! Congratulations to you and the Misses.

comment by Richard Trim at 07:01 PM (GMT) on 6 December, 2006

Dave,
You and Libby and the ''tribe '' deserve all that you are now reaping. You amaze me with your seemingly tireless energy and efforts ... and of course, all the responses show how much you are appreciated. Even me, an almost retired 60 yr old, worn out with teaching, has been inspired by your blog site into really kickstarting the hobby into an important part of my life. Thanks so so much. Richard

comment by Velviapix, feeling of color at 08:06 PM (GMT) on 6 December, 2006

Dave, ¡¡¡C.O.N.G.R.A.T.U.L.A.T.I.O.N.S.!!! I have been out of the blogosphere for quite some time... but this is worth returning, if only, to make a comment.

Velviapix, feeling of color.

comment by Myrddin at 08:54 PM (GMT) on 6 December, 2006

Congratulations on both new beginnings!

comment by m i k e b at 08:58 PM (GMT) on 6 December, 2006

david, many congrats on both. my children are the greatest of blessing and judging by the increasing size of your family i am sure you feel the same. in regards to the career change, i am more than happy for your decision. you are leaving one job you love for another you love even more. i do not know that it can get much better than that. i look forward to seeing the impact o your work that these changes bring. thanks again for sharing your journeys with me/us.

comment by Mic at 09:00 PM (GMT) on 6 December, 2006

Congratulations, great news there.
You have such great times with your little girl, my little girl is my best friend.
Also great news going Full Time with Chromasia, can't wait to learn more from the MASTER.

Well done.
Mic @ differentimages.

comment by peter at 09:02 PM (GMT) on 6 December, 2006

Congratulations are most definitely in order. Babies are beautiful. I also wish you the best of luck now that you are taking the plunge into the pro ranks.

comment by Jason Wall at 10:07 PM (GMT) on 6 December, 2006

Congrats!

comment by Parker at 10:28 PM (GMT) on 6 December, 2006

Is it cliche at this point to say... congratulations? :-)

comment by Andy at 10:47 PM (GMT) on 6 December, 2006

WOW congratulation on your latest, imminant, addition. As a, very tired, father of four, I can't imagine how you will find the energy to survive all the demands on your time. How will you and Finlay cope in this house of hormones?

comment by Dave Carrington at 11:51 PM (GMT) on 6 December, 2006

Congratulations to you both! Hope everything goes well.
It's high time you took up another recreational pastime..!
Scrabble is good: 'procreation' would get you a score of 15...triple word score...now that's real excitement...:-)

comment by miles at 12:28 AM (GMT) on 7 December, 2006

Congratulations Dave, on all sides, you're a brave man ;) Wishing you all the best.

ps. I think the car you're looking for is called a 'bus'.

comment by Geoff at 12:39 AM (GMT) on 7 December, 2006

Congratulations on the forthcoming baby David (and Libby!), and for the new direction as well. I don't know how you do it. I have 2 children and I'm almost always stressed out as a parent. This will be what.. 6 for you?
Chromasia has turned out very well for you over the last few years, and congratulations on that as well. Way to go!!

comment by Rodrigo Gómez at 01:26 AM (GMT) on 7 December, 2006

Congratulations David & Libby on the new family menber... yes, it seems like yesterday when you told us about Finley :-)

My best wishes on the coming times with the new baby and the "change" of careers. Good luck!

comment by Psychodudu at 01:28 AM (GMT) on 7 December, 2006

How about calling her Victoria....after the hospital.
Well done, congratulations, and good luck to Libby for the coming pregnancy and birth.
You have been a source of inspiration for many, many people, a photographer of the calibre so many aspire to. I hope your ventures lead you to the place you, yourself aspire to.
Perhaps a little time for reflection is a good place to start. Be well DJN.

Hi Dave,
Great news. Many congratulations to you both.
And there was me thinking that you had invented the first Canon 20D US (UltraSound) camera!
Here's to the future.

Dear David,

All my best wishes for you, your wife and the rest of the children! But the bad news is that it seems you will be abandoning us, your students. Could you please let me know who should I turn to now in order to complete my dissertation?
Thank you in advance,
Monica Krebs

Congratulations on both accounts. I visit here everyday. If this is what you do with another full time job I CAN'T WAIT to see what you do when you put even more of your time behind it.

I have no kids but once be an aupair in America taking care the triplet boy and a girl. Keep me and their mom busy all day long. Good thing was I get a very good sleep at any time I did :D
