Continental Drift

Alan Skyrme Photography wishes all its clients a happy and prosperous year in 2010.

The New Year sees the launch of a new site that has been created to support our focus on tropical fruit images. Shoot Froot (www.shootfroot.com) currently has taken over the tropical fruit images hitherto residing on the Shoot Açai site and will be expanded during the course of the year.

As mentioned in our December edition, our modest new premises in Rio Grande do Norte now incorporate a small gallery area where we hope to sell our Fine Art prints to passing tourist traffic. The studio will be expanding its range of services (currently fruit, food and product packshots) to include social portraiture and commercial graphics.

Since our last edition of Continental Drift:

A variety of new images have been added to the Recent Additions section. These will remain on view have now all been cleared and new ones from the European trip will be added this month.

We have created a page of images in support of APAE - a school for children with disabilities that relies heavily on donations to provide much needed equipment and facilities. Three images and a calendar are available for sale with 100% of our proceeds going direct to the school. Visit www.alanskyrme.com for more details

No changes recently, other than the removal / transfer of tropical fruit images to Shoot Froot. A trip to Belem, planned last month to shoot fruit images, has been postponed for a short time.
