Well we have hit the hot weather, its now 30 degrees daily. This month has been crazy, really crazy, but that is a good thing. I'm not sure how to proceed with the blog, its a lot of work creating one large blog, and as the volume of stuff I'm doing increases, its harder to fit these blogs to the website maximum. The readership of the blog is down too, is the reason they are just too big to digest? I don't know. Also all the links I put in, don't seem to be followed, I'm not sure if the website tracks phone usage, but many links I put into other albums have 0 hits. I guess for now I will just continue as I have been but going forward I might just post blogs as stuff happens. Opinions welcome.

So we kick off with the Pera School of Performing Arts. You can visit the whole album here and find links if you're interested. The students put on a festival of their work, including 17 performances throughout the day. The dancers I've been working with on my last post invited me and I took lots of photos. The quality of the performances was really fantastic, I can't express quickly how good it all was, but hoepfully the photos will. Thanks to Rita, Eveginya and Angeline. I did my best to capture portraits as well as live performance. I went to 15 of the 17 shows. Some were traditional, but others involved us walking outside, film, and carparks. The two girls at the reception treated us to a welcome comedy dance set to the theme of The Pink Panther. Great start.

Next up is a couple a couple of nights at CineMiles, the african bar, just to ease in their summer season.

More fashion at Instyle, full albums and links here It was too hot for the model to keep changing in the small loo, so we got into the habit of me turning my back while she changed. I usually say "done" when finished with an outfit, so the model threw that term back at me for her finishing changing. Lots of laughter and a running joke for the day. Afew behinf the scenes shots too.

Next up I did a little work with Mountyain View Hotel, just outside Girne/Kyrenia. This work isn't my favourite, but the challenge of mixing inside and outside light is interesting. Genrally I prefer taking photos of people, but this was a fun assigment.
