Hi again, Polzeath calling. Polzeath Beach, Baby Bay and Port Quin were all looking good this weekend, lots of ideas for photography workshops and images of silver seas for the summer.
I planned a new photography workshop at Port Quin, which I had forgotten how beautiful it is with views of the ocean against the beach and the sky. I will run it as an option location for 'how to use your camera' and 'how to take better photographs' photography workshops. It works well as a location at low tide.
My website markashbeephotography.com is improving daily, I have lots of new black and white images to add to it and some new colour images.
My influence page for this week is soul II soul at

My connection is that I was the photography assistant on the first album cover Club Classics Volume 1, working for Jamie Morgan. I remember Nellee Hooper asking me how come I was there, as we knew each other from Bristol.
Anyway we had a studio full of musicians, lots of ego, Jazzy B and his distinct voice and opinion and some great tunes. So to make all this work I suggested trying a silhouette style as all had striking profiles, it worked. I have always liked the silhouette style and use it often to create emotion and feelings in portraits and landscapes, a happy face, a thumping bass for a loving race.
