Hi everyone, I hope 2012 is off to a fabulous start for you all. We’ve hit the ground running, hence the few blog posts and general silence around the blogosphere – apologies to my blogging friends!
Apart from being absorbed in a significant project to help save the rhino (which is progressing at speed, so more on that soon), we’ve consolidated the branding on our photography and videography business, to bring the outdoor (Outdoor Video & Photographic) and studio (OV&P Studio) aspects under one umbrella. This included creating a brand new website at www.ovpimaging.com.
Once again, I must offer a huge High Five to WordPress for being so brilliant!
Above is a screen shot showing the top part of the front page of our site, designed as a blog with the help of the awesome Thesis theme and the Exhibit skin for Thesis. We chose the blog format to keep things vibrant and allow Dave especially to share photographic advice and photography tips, together with straight-talking industry commentary.

A genius WordPress plugin, CataBlog, works a treat to display our galleries, from African wildlife, commercial and corporate work, interiors and architecture, to modeling portfolios, family and location photo shoots, product and advertising photography, as well as a sample album of our studio portraiture.
If you follow that last link to the album, you’ll find that the cover features the following photo, of stunning model Christina (who is based in London) with our puppy Storm:

At a mere few months old, he’s already in the limelight! After a recent party we threw for Dave’s birthday, where Storm was the centre of attention (apart from Dave, of course
), one of our friends adopted two of his siblings. You can expect photo’s of them all having a ball together before long, but here are some to show you how rapidly he’s growing – fast enough to give Quest a run for his money soon:Storm - plotting his next pounce on Quest
Quest - fascinated by his baby brother
It’s not all roses; the scent of the carpets that is. House training is slow and we’ve already steam-cleaned once, wall to wall, with more to follow! Still, one look at this smile and how can you be cross?
Hopeless attempt at scolding Storm for carpet wetting
