second week of april

Today managed to get internet connection. Weekend quite easy, however, i have not been out on sunday, it's mean no photos from havana i'm affraid.
Also there was five-a-side soccer competition and jersey horse racing.
Looking forward for big events in watersplash.
By the way, Sandra dont want to create blog, so i have to catch up with everything.
Changes - form this week PURE nightclub is in posession of blue laser, which looks great.

Beginning of april

This week we lost it... we lost one hour of fun, as with the beggining of spring clock goes forward by one hour, you lost one hour of clubbing, i lost few pounds ;]
Somebody send email to Gomes, asking if they can have photographer at Watersplash that night, they send it after 6, when he went to work, and recieved it about 1 after midnight, but in fact it was 2 already... shame, i do like that place, i wanted go there.

Apart of that, weekend seems to be quiet, drift as usuall was full, and other places was bit disapointing.

Anyway, 10 points for person who recognize HIM :D

Yes, i know this guy somehow... oh yes, mr WHALE TALE :D

Do not have photos from fridays or saturday on my hard drive, so there will be one from sunday only.
As you know we have bank holiday today on monday, on sunday there was greeat party on waterspash, check out our photos if you have been there! Many people in town, those who did not get a ticket for watersplash went to drift, fridays all sports or havana... I hope you enjoyed that night as i did.

There is picture from sunday - havana

Free photos download

From now on all photos posted here will be available to download i hi-resolution, cheers to all those lucky of you who will get pics for free! Find yourself here!
I will try to post one best picture from night every weekend night.

Picture, from havana, sunday.
(btw from yesterday we are able to go to the drift again :mrgreen: )

Yesterday sunset was nice, similar like couple previous days, took this pic, merged into hdr to give better result. Inspired by Olivier Doran's exhibition in harbour gallery yesterday.

Yesterday (sat ) went to watersplash for the first time. Luckilly managed to enter, thanks to te guy who was near the door and xplained to doormans! Lucky me he was there.
Now i know that jersey has a real club, its not a bar with dancefloor, its just a club with bars around. Also high ceiling allow to use some propper lighting there. 

Big party to be held at watersplash next week. Get ready to be snapped!

Summary... weekend bit weird, fridays dead, well, actually got 250 photos, but sat was busy, suprisingly busy, long time haven't seen so many people out. For most of them sat is end of weekend high life, for me and few others is the sunday, havana. To be honest, i love last 30 minutes, the atmosphere is amazing, the mood and the music... Hard to chose pic of week... a lot of portraits... so nothing special, but basically that what is for sale... BUT ...




ROCK STEADY DJs AT CLUB LOUNGE

13 01 2008 sunday

And another sunday is gone.
Getting confused now, used to have pleasure with photography, but im geting sick of these people, in fact 90% of them is ok, everyone is more or less drunk, but there is maybe 10% which piss me totally off, rude, agressive and stupid...if i met one of them iam upset for rest of the night. Btw, jersey it small, so almost everytine you can se the same faces, specially during the winter time.
This sunday was like any other sunday, been to fridays and havana only, nothing special.
However, there are still great people there!

12 01 2008

Long time since last entry, but i was quite busy, and the blog is nothing that important...hovewer now almost everything is sorted out. Nice music all around, specially liked dnb nigt at club:lounge, class. Last weekend was quiet, nothing special, actuall one is much better, specially saturday. Apart from burning warehouse close to two popular nightclubs the show at eden nighclub was also interesting ...
/btw, who set the fire? /

Christmas, christmas, and its gone
Was bit hard, but gone quick. Such a good period for me... changing for good.
I went to PURE nightclub and there was DnB night. And it was awesome. I like it, so enjoyed very much. Also had great pictures taken there. Hard to choose one, but i thik that will do.

last weekEND b4 christmas

CLUB:lounge 2nite




Christmas is comming, a lot of work, everywhere.
Really like the new camera, 14 over 12 bit's really does difference on forehead's highlights and generally on skin tones.
In club lounge was nice atmosphere, you can fly away. In some other places some 2 drunk wnkrz and that is really pain, no pleasure from work, and they making it even harder :/
Write more on sunday.

another weekend ending

Christmas coming, is getting busy everywhere, and some people have to work for people who want to have parties
In town there is nice mood, except cold :/ however, i really miss snow in this time which is integrated part of christmas for me.
Did i mentioned i got 40d now? ;) That was present for my self, as well as a new car...
during the weekend i took about 300 pics everyday, but as usuall sales are very poor.
