Andrew Philip

Andrew has so many fingers in pies that I'm not even going to attempt a summary - check out his website. We met near the Scottish Parliament on a lovely sunny day which rapidly turned to rain, quenching my clever plans. But he was a good sport and we managed to get a few nice shots.

Colin McGuire: Not as crazy as he'd have you think

The first person for this batch was Colin McGuire (blog). Originally from Glasgow he's settled into Edinburgh's literary scene quietly but comfortably, dropping poetry around him as he goes. He suggested we meet at the underpass behind the Musem as it once hosted an momentous romantic occasion. I hesitated as previously Claire Askew had been placed there but in the end we had a go. I particularly like the roof of the underpass here as, along with the square crop, it hints at a classic Hasselblad look...

I've not put this project to sleep but it's certainly had a few naps. As part of a college project to produce images suitable for a stock library I'm going to be working up ten submissions to Writer Pictures, a local stock library specialising in - yes, pictures of writers! I do love being able to do things at once. So, watch this space, rapid-fire updates imminent!
