After some glorious sunny days in Kinsale, the Clipper fleet left Cork in drizzle. We had an image of sitting on the grass next to Blackrock Castle with a picnic and watching them sail past – but it was not to be. Still, it was a great sight to see them motoring out to the harbour.
In time for the start of the summer holidays, I am pleased to announce the start of my Portfolio Programme.
The Programme is aimed at producing a range of unique family photographs based around a theme which is special to each family.
I want to talk to families with a shared passion for something – something which is personal to them and is a major feature in their lives on a regular basis.
Together we’ll use that as a theme for a family photo session featuring all the family and elements of whatever it is they do. We’ll choose the location and the timing of the session to suit the theme.
Whether you’re mad into surfing, GAA, music or whatever, I want to hear your ideas for a family photograph with a difference.
As with previous promotions, I want to use these images for my own publicity on the web and in print. In return for your time, the session is free and you’ll get a framed print as well.
So before you head off to do whatever you do best this summer, think about whether you’d like some great pictures to remember it by.
Give me a call at 087 683 8511 or email me your ideas and we can come up with some great new family photographs.
More information, details and some more ideas are posted at https://roblambphoto.com/?page_id=488
Now this guy may be a little young for this programme – but you never know, he might make it one day…
Cork Textiles Network are opening their annual show at St Fin Barre’s Cathedral tomorrow, Thursday 3rd June. This year’s show is entitled ‘Down the Road’
I spent a day back in March photographing pieces for the exhibition (some still very much works in progress) so that images are now available for the programme, artists’ cards and promotional literature for the show.
It will be nice to see the finished pieces in all their glory in the Cathedral tomorrow. The show runs until the 17th June.
Good luck to everyone involved.
Join B2B Networking (Cork) in what promises to be a well-attended business networking opportunity with other proactive people from all business sectors in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.
Time: 6:00 – 7:30pm | Tuesday 11 May 2010
Venue: Cork Vision Centre @ St. Peter’s, North Main Street, Cork.
Courtmacsherry had everything a boy could want all that day!
Thanks to Mathew and his Mum and Dad for a lovely morning out there a couple of weeks ago.
Two of my pictures made it to the May 2010 issue of Food & Wine magazine including this one of Brendan from Augustine’s Rocket Soup (which actually appears three times including full page on page 51)
The recipe is there too if anyone fancies giving it a try!
The Misses and I had the pleasure of dining at Augustine’s @ The Clarion on Saturday night. Wow! We’re still talking about some of the dishes we had. Thanks so much to Brendan and Carol for a great night.
All this publicity is centred around the re-introduction of their tasting menu: six courses for €25. I can highly recommend it – 021 427 9375

A big thanks to Alison and her kids (and her Mum) who were the first to take part in the Spring Promo before Easter.

The sessions for the Spring Promo are now in full swing. I’ve been having a lot of fun out and about around the County and there are some lovely pictures coming out of the sessions.
The only ‘problem’ so far being that with the great weather we’ve been having it looks a bit more like summer than spring!
A big thanks to those families who have already taken part – and I’m looking forward to the rest of the sessions this month.
The galleries from the first sessions are just going out to the families involved so once they’ve had a chance to have a good look at them I’ll post a few pictures up here.
In the meantime it looks like Spring is running late and I’m worried I might not get any bluebell pictures in April so I’m considering running a couple of weekday sessions in May.
So anyone still interested in a session who would be available on a weekday in May there is still a chance to take part in the promo. Remember the session is free and you get a free framed 8×12 print in return for you time. I will be using the pictures here on the blog, on the website and in future publicity material for the outdoor sessions.
So call or e-mail now rob@roblambphoto.com or 087 683 8511
OK, so it seems like a long time ago but I have just posted the pictures from when it snowed back in January to a new gallery on the main web site.
The publicity for this year’s Big Toddle for Barnardos launched this week. For my part I was at Bessborough Creche, Blackrock taking pictures of Cork’s own Graham Canty supposedly bossing some preschoolers around ‘Celebrity Bainisteoir’ style – but of course the kids were having none of it!
