What a great weekend this has been! I have been very busy photographing at the Salisbury Festival covering events ranging from a formal press call with Archbishop Desmond Tutu to covering some great bands playing African music. Saturday night culminated with a crescendo of fireworks bursting above the magnificent Salisbury Cathedral but during the evening I had photographed the wonderful Freshlyground who are the biggest pop group in South Africa (www.freshlyground.com) and the fantastic Natasha Atlas, described as the 'the Queen of new North African Cool' by the Guardian newspaper. I put into stock shots of Desmond Tutu 'boogieing on down' to the music, and the wide eyes of the Fezeka Choir meeting a hero of their own country when they had not even known he was in the audience. Today took on a slightly more serious note when Desmond Tutu did a walkabout after the Eucharist service in the cathedral, but again more stock shots were added to the ever growing library. Thank God we had glorious weather. As my grandmother used to say "We may be poor but we do see life!" Hard work for me, with a day of image editing ahead tomorrow, but well worth the effort.
