Phill Coe Photography Exhibition - March 2009 Spain

It's only a few weeks now until my next photography exhibition and I'm getting to the point where I need to narrow down my selection and get the chosen images to the framers. The exhibition will be held in a beautiful show-house villa near Benalmadena, Spain, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. It's been over a year since my last exhibition and I'm a little nervous as ever. Below you'll find some of the images that I am considering showing, please let me know your opinion, good, bad or indifferent.

Photo Exhibition - March 2009 Spain

Fun morning with the kids

Had a great morning this morning, photographing the 'carnival' at our local nursery, Costa Kindercare (http://www.costakindercare.com/). We've done a lot of commercial kids photography over the least few years but it's been a few months since the last one. I know people say 'don't work with kids and animals', but at least as far kids are concerned it is probably one of the most enjoyable things that I do.

Something struck me today though. Despite all the doom and gloom that we are seeing on the TV and reading in the papers every day, nothing brings more joy and fun to our lives than watching children play.

As the carnival was coming to an end this morning I turned round to look at all the parents who'd come to see their child take part in the fancy dress parade and all I could see was a sea of smiling, no beaming, faces. Pure and utter joy! And from something so simple. I know some of us are more fortunate than others but let's not forget what life is really all about and what actually makes us happy.
