Chelsea and Brian Part Two

Well, what a trip! Went to Glasgow on Wednesday to meet up with my mate Oz Kharawala who was running a seminar there. Then realised that I'd left the battery my canon camera on charge....in Thurso! So first disaster - had to buy another one from Calumet, then eventually ended up at the SNS offices in Glasgow city centre getting them to charge my battery for me! Thanks to the girls in the office there who were very helpful!

Got to Marseilles on Thursday morning, arrived at hotel...and promptly left. It was a pigsty! So, got taxi to the city and a very helpful driver found me a room in a hotel on the phone, then took 50 euros off me and dropped me at the wrong hotel. Eventually 3 hotels later I found a room which was okay and got checked in. Then I chipped my tooth opening a bottle. Then realised my phone charger was in my car. So eventually spoke to Brian on the phone and arranged to meet up Friday morning. They had car trouble so we never got together until late in the day and we drove to Nimes for the shoot. What an amazing place it is! Lovely old ampitheatre and Roman temple and many other great places to visit. Next disaster was me falling from the top of the steps at the Roman Temple, clutching my camera above my head as I skidded down the steps, luckily coming to rest about 8 from the top with a very sore ankle! It was a long way down so I was very relieved! Do you get the idea this trip was jinxed?

Anyway the shoot went really well, although it did start to get dark fairly quickly but we shot a load of night shots as well, which turned out well.

Quite an adventure and I was pretty glad to get home in one piece!
