Saturday

 I've had a productive few days. I've been studying the 'house style' of magazines 'Dogs Today', 'Your Dog', and 'Old Glory'. 

I've been considering studying the City Lit short course 'Writing for Magazines' in September, but I'm not sure what it can teach me that I don't already know. Besides, I've ordered a couple of books on the subject. At the moment, I'll keep my options open.

I met up with the photographer I'll be working in collaboration with, Tony Brice. We've been communicating via email until now, so the meeting was good. We discussed our bio's and talked about our forthcoming projects: 'Newfs in Action' and the 'Thames Traditional Boat Festival'.

Before we parted he took a photograph of me as I don't have an up-to-date version. I'm very pleased with it and have put it on the homepage of my website.

It's the first photograph that I have, as I am now (old and haggard!), and not how I was then!
