This is my penultimate shot from my trip to Dubai, after which I'm definitely going to turn my attention to documenting Bulgaria. Strangely, I've now been here for almost a month but have found that I've been oddly reluctant to commit myself to photographing anything other than the kids. I'm not sure why I haven't been more proactive, but suspect that it has something to do with being overwhelmed by choice; i.e. there are millions of things I could be photographing – old buildings, the locals, aspects of our village and Bulgarian culture, and so on – I just haven't done so, at least not yet.
Anyway, in between starting my new book (which I'll say more about in a subsequent entry) and continuing to settle into our Bulgarian routine, I will make an effort to get out and about with my camera.
On a totally different matter: I'll be back in the UK in June as we're running a training course in Blackpool on the weekend of 13/14th June. The cost for the course is £225.00 and we still have a few places left. If you'd like to receive some more information please email Libby for the details (libby AT chromasia DOT com).

I like this but think I would struggle to say just why that is, the tones and textures are very pleasing to my eye. I'd wager there were some great textures in that wall to be used in textured images too!

Dave,
Nice... I like the background (cement?) and I enjoy the random moment. A humble request... would love to see buildings and people in Bulgaria. (No comment on the kids... you are blessed and they are beautiful!)

Nice colors and textures. I've enjoyed the Dubai shots too. Sorry I don't make more time to comment, but I'm still visiting. You do great work.
This is what I usually call a 'quiet' photo. Pleasing earthy tones and soft light held in a simple and well balanced composition. I like it.
Thanks :)
