Some of the beers were selected as I wanted to relive the times I went to antwerp when my friend lived there – Barbar,
Brugs Wit, Palm and of course the beer of Antwerp De Koninck.

The Rodenbach Vintage 2007 was a special treat and I got a bottle for Rob from beerlens as well, as this year he has introduced me to some great beers(brewdog & Saints & Sinners) and it’s good to have an offline/online friend interested in beer even though he is from newport.

This time of the year people seem to buy my Father Christmas running photo, maybe getting websites and publications ready for the Xmas period.

I took this images a few years a go at the Newton santa run, when I was getting into digital photography, it’s not shot on a DSLR on a canon powershot, but its my biggest selling shot (I only sell a few of my photos a month, so wont give up the day job)

Looking back it was not a great image in terms of composition and the colour was not great.. but its been popular and allows me to buy odds and sods for my camera every year as its for sale on iStockphoto

Unfortunately the quality of photos you need to put up nowadays is very high and I don’t have many accepted
