  • Sept 2013 Parish Newsletter
    PARISH Sept 20 13 ISSUEISSUE 38 33 JUNE 2012 This newsletter is distributed to every h ouse in the five parishes to commun icate the activities of the Bishopstone Group Parish Council and other local events Test your stamina, or opt for a gentler challenge, to raise money for the British Red Cross by entering the Hope Valley Run Get into training for the Hope Valley Run, in Herefordshire – a great way to keep fit and raise money for people in need. This year’s event, which takes place on Sunday, 6 October, will feature not only the established, multi-terrain 8 mile route but also a 4 mile fun run. The eight-mile timed race has been a regular feature of the Red Cross fundraising calendar. There are hills to test your stamina, long stretches to build up speed and some beautiful scenery to take in on the way as the route snakes through fields, woodland and along ash paths. This year’s entrants will have the challenge of trying to beat the current record of 52.4 minutes set in 2011. The four mile route takes place on the back of popular demand. Like the longer route it will take in woodland trails and keep road running to a minimum. More suitable for those looking for a less demanding challenge . The race starts and ends at the village hall in the picturesque village of Woolhope, in Herefordshire, (15 minutes off the M50) where parking, toilet and changing facilities will be available to runners. Bags can be left in a supervised store during the race and there will be a kitchen providing hot and cold refreshments The route runs through Haugh Wood, well known for its butterfly walks, and is marked throughout with marshals covering all junctions and turnings.

  • Boudoir & Fine Art Photography: the Intersection of Fun & Seduction
    Boudoir & Fine Art Photography: The Intersection of Fun & Seduction A Guide for First Time Clients and Veteran Boudies Monumental Arts Professional Fine Art Photography Boudoir & Fine Art Photography: Introduction So you are thinking about a Boudoir & Fine Art photography session – how exciting! But what is a boudoir & Fine Art session? Sounds simple – it’s just a sexy portrait session, right? Yes, no, and maybe, all at once! Boudoir is a unique and intimate style of photography – and whether you're looking for a romantic, glamour, pin-up, or fantasy session, it takes a big step to jump right in. Boudoir photography is a broad genre of photography that involves female subjects in sensual and suggestive poses. It is distinct from erotic photography in its emphasis on the aesthetic qualities of the subject and the craftsmanship of the photographic process over the sexually stimulating nature of the image. So, whether you are a veteran in front of the camera or brand new to the role, there are some things you should know about Boudoir & Fine Art photography. Tasteful, Private, and Confidential Sessions One of the top questions I’m asked regarding boudoir is “will these be online”? I have photographed over 300 boudoir sessions since I started in 2012 – most are completely private and are never seen online. In other words, if you don’t want your images shown on my website as examples, they never will be! I guarantee “Tasteful, Private, and Confidential Sessions!” Boudoir & Fine Art Styles Boudoir: Boudoir, as mentioned above, typically involves female subjects in sensual and suggestive poses.

  • Chapter 14: Lavender Sweep Area
    Draft CHAPTER 14 Lavender Sweep Area Lavender Sweep today presents as countless other Battersea streets of three-up, three-down terraced houses of the 1880s. Its origins, though, lie a century earlier, its distinctive crescent layout the creation of Peter James Bennett, a developer of the 1780s. Though the five rus-in-urbe villas he built there have gone, the outlines of their spacious grounds between Lavender Hill and Battersea Rise, running west to St John’s Road and east to Lavender Walk, can still be traced in the streets laid out by his Victorian successors. Immediately east of Bennett’s estate were two even larger villas, begun in the 1770s on another landholding: West Lodge (also demolished) and the Shrubbery, the only one of this area’s old houses to survive. From the 1860s they too lost their long gardens to denser housing. These Georgian estates and their subsequent redevelopment form the subject of this chapter (Ills 14.1, 2). Altenburg Gardens, the first of the speculative builders’ houses to go up, in the 1860s, perhaps enhanced the old-world charm of the earlier villas and their wealthy mercantile owners as much as they threatened it. They were very large suburban dwellings in a classical style, aimed at a high class of tenant, in an area still noted for its sylvan character. But behind this advance guard a very different and breathless wave of development came in the 1880s—dense terraces aimed at the lower-middle and working classes. Only the double-fronted houses of Lavender Gardens, built in the grounds of the Shrubbery, suggested any social ambition.
