"BLOOMING: Emma's Recovery From Alcoholism This is a video I made about Emma a florist working in Little Hulton. I originally heard about her because she was shortlisted at the Salford Business Awards running a successful business while in recovery from [--] years of alcoholism. In other words she's turned her life completely around and is wide awake and doing great. I wanted to talk to her initially with a view to doing her portrait but after seeing how much personality she had I got the idea of interviewing her and she was a natural - more so than me who still has a lot to learn about putting"

"My review of the punchy Hasselblad 28P - the 'affordable' compact wide angle Spot the deliberate mistake right at the beginning of this video. Taken three weeks off posting on YouTube to do client work and that's just about the only way I can afford all this Hasselblad gear. Watch this video for a guide to the XCD 28P F4 how it works in the real world and see if it's the right lens for you. Personally I think it's a great addition to my lens line-up - but yeah with a few qualifications.
