    My Favourite Photographers

    Photography is one of my favourite hobbies, something that I really enjoy and the main reason why I travel everywhere with a camera. I consider myself to be a decent amateur photographer, with a real interest in beautiful buildings, nature and candid shots. But as much as I love taking photographs, there are just some occasions that call for a professional. This is especially true when it come to portrait photography.

    Jessops Open New Concept Store in Sainsburys Oldbury

    It is a sad time when it comes to photographs. The days when we ran to have our holiday snaps developed, clutching that treasured roll of film have long since passed, with photographs now destined to live in cyber space, on Instagram and Facebook, no longer placed in albums to be looked at and enjoyed by our and future generations. But photography giants Jessops are aiming to change all this, using their new concept stores to help us fall in love with our photographs all over again. I was invited to the opening of the new concept store which is based in the Sainsburys supermarket in Oldbury town centre (it…
