Animals and polystyrene.

Today Tina has been out and about at a farm park

We now have a lot of shots of various animals for a new project in the offing.
Tina is doing something for White post Farm in the summer, but apparently its under construction at the moment.
So you will have to wait foor further news on that front.

Meanwhile , after a late start, and a couple of hours editing shoots from last weeks RACPA gig, while listening to Mansfield Radio, i finaly got off my bum.
I have been down to the studio, putting insulation sheets into the shop ceiling, to keep our visitors warm and toasty.
I am now covered in bits of polystyrene, and about to go in the shower.

Rock Against Child Pornography and Abuse

I was asked to shoot some pictures for RACPA, last weekend at thier event in Mansfields,, The Mill, pub.

Four great bands to bring people in to the venue.All money made going to a childrens charity.

Realy good they were too.

The lovely people from RACPA are trying to highlight the problems of child pornography on the Net, and how poorly it is currently being dealt with.

How the abused are often treated like second class citizens, with insufficient support, while abusers/pornographers that are prosecuted often receive pitifully short sentences.

and get all the support they rquire, at the taxpayers expense.

Its a taboo subject to a lot of people, but needs to be out there in the public domian, to help the situation as it currently is.

All RACPA staff are vlenteers, and it is a non profit organisation.

Talking to Beth and Carmen, the organisers, was a real eye opener.

Rainbow will continue to offer its support to RACPA in future , in any way possible

look them up at http://www.myspace.com/rockagainstchildporno

Please give them a look.

Obviously made a good impression

Jodie from Gents and Players, who we've done some commercial work for recently, has been so chuffed with Tina's work, and got on so well with us, she's bringing the family down for a portrait shoot on Sunday.

Not only that, but ive been asked about shooting a charity gig .
woohoo.
Further details on that, as it happens.

The photos of my sons wedding are brilliant,everyone was very impressed with the way you both worked on the day. Thanks

Kitchen

Its nice to have a kitchen now, complete with cupboards, sink , drain and such.
For a while weve managed with the big Belfast sink in the studio, which can now come out.
Got a couple of doors to mount hinges too, and fit. Plus some bits of trim and a kick board.
Then we can decide what stuff goes in which cupboards.
Oh the fun.
Today has been very busy at the world of Rainbow.
Weve had customers coming in all day.
Jody from Gents and Players has been in to collect her disc of files from her shoot.
Shes very pleased with them, which is obviously good.

Helen, one of the models from Sundays Shades Hair shoot has been in, as has Chris, Shades boss and owner.
Again everyone is pleased.

Paula and Dave, two of our wedding clients dropped in on passing, to see how their album design was progressing.
We also had a visit from Liz , the instigator of the MIND calendar shoot.
Liz brought us in a copy of the completed calendar to show us.

I must say its amazing, and has sold beyond all expectation.
The first batch has gone already, and were going to get some into our shop when the next batch is printed.
Thanks too for the folks at Mind for using a huge full page advert for us, to fill the back page.
All is going well.

Gents and Players Shoot.

As you can see in Tina's last post, weve been a little busy with the lovely Jodie.
Jodie is the lovely lady posing in the pictures, mostly Gangster themed, for the new Gents and Players catalogue.
A fantastic lady to work with, and also part of the management team at Gents and Players.

Coming shortly we will also have shots of another sort of "lady" altogether, who works under the stage name of Virginia Slack.
The pinkest hair this side of a USA old folks home, and more attitude than Grace Jones at "that" time of the month.
puts the GLAM into glamour and belts out a tune like Shirley Bassey.
Stunning shoes, dresses,diamante and make up to make your eyes water.
Looks awesome wearing a feather boa.
off comes the wig, and Virginia becomes , Richard. A really nice chap from Derby, who actually does make some of his own dresses.
We shot Virginia in the studio on Monday night, and we haven't had so much fun in ages. Messing about with Virginia, and her partner Pete.
Even made comment on Virginia's amasing legs.

Photo's to come in the next few days.
