I am still challenged by photography and I enjoy it
a great deal. I am also keen to develop my writing.
While I love art, I love writing
equally as much. It is odd finishing working on a book. It
seems like it may have nearly reached a point it is ready to be let go - while
it is sad as it becomes part of who you are and sometimes new ideas keep coming
and so it never feels really finished...?
*MUSIC this year at Celtic Connections 2015
Celtic Connections folk festival was better than
ever and I attended some incredible concerts this year –
The
awesome Opening Concert Nae Regrets - We were treated to an
outstanding opening concert! Highly innovative. Multi-talented,
multi-layered orchestra. Put a smile on my face -The Martin Bennett epic
one off opening concert conducted by Greg Lawson,
The
Craig Armstrong concert of his film music with full orchestra was
incredible - he wrote music for Romeo and Juliet and the Great Gatsby and more.
The
Punch Brothers were delightful with their high tempo banjos, quality
acapella vocal harmonies. The concert for the life-affirming songs of folk
revivalist Ewan MacColl, with Martin Carthy, Jarvis Cocker and Paul
Buchanan. On top of all this it was a huge treat to hear live the powerhouse
voice and music of legend Van Morrison. Mind-blowing. And not to forget
the perfect concert with the Transatlantic band.
I continue to take my camera everywhere and it is part of who I am.....
I have revamped my photography website recently to
include a Women Musicians gallery -http://pkimage.co.uk/womenmusicinans
Organization is key perhaps!!?
