Dear {FIRST_NAME},

Welcome to Issue #11 of In The Frame: the monthly Newsletter brought to you by Giles Babbidge Photography Ltd.

Here, then, is a round-up of topics and activities discussed over at the GBP Blog throughout June; I hope you find these highlights both interesting and informative.

Thanks for reading.

The 6 Ps According to one variation of the old 'Six P' adage, "Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance". One recent assignment was a case in point - and stands as a lesson in both the positive and negative outcomes of heeding this advice... or not. Blog post: You know the 6 Ps make sense

What we rely upon Our colleagues over in America have a phrase they use to describe any technique or item of kit which is the mainstay of their work; something which is used time and time again - dependable, reliable, guaranteed to get the results they require. The phrase? 'Go-to'. Our item of choice? The Canon Powershot G9. Blog post: What's your go-to?

Getting inspired They say that inspiration is lurking around every corner. But is it? Are such moments of clarity really there for the taking, or do you have to make them appear through the process of your own thoughts and actions? Blog post: Waiting for inspiration to strike

More radio discussion Following my appearance on the Vobes Show at the end of April, I was asked to contribute to another online radio show - this time hosted by Louise Barnes-Johnston at Frontline Results. Our conversation addressed issues which concern small business owners in these tough economic times, including what potential oportunities are out there just waiting to be exploited. You can listen directly via the player embedded in this blog post. Blog post: Radio appearance - Picture your business

Never without a camera 'They' also say that you should always carry a camera with you, just in case a great picture presents itself out of the blue. This post is an example of why it is worth taking such advice onboard. Blog post: Always carry a camera?

Funny but true I was reminded of this short video, having seen it some time ago. Yes, it does make you smile, but for anyone running a business in these 'interesting' economic times, the sentiments will surely stike a chord! Blog post: Funny... but oh so true

Already on the GBP Blog this month... The first weekend of July saw me covering the Goodwood Festival Of Speed in West Sussex once again. As in previous years, I was shooting initially for image usage directly on the F.O.S website. Each day, I put down a few thoughts about what I'd been up to. The link below takes you to Day 1; links from that post take you to the Days 2 and 3. Blog post: FOS '09 - Day 1
