I was thrilled to be able to provide photography to my old Oxford college, Merton, this year. I felt right at home being back there, even if there have been several changes to the college. The lodge has been completely revamped since I last visited, and the new (well not that new, but compared to when I was a student) admin offices meant that the room the photography studio was in used to be one of the admin offices. I remember that the room that was being used as the cloakroom used to be the Estate’s office. Clearly the student have changed too, this years’ freshers were 4 when I matriculated!

For this ball I was very ably assisted by Tony from Tony Culshaw Photography. Tony has done a few jobs for me, and others referred by me, but I’d never had the chance to work with him. He was an absolute star all night. Although, looking at the photos I think his head is wonky – but don’t worry I’ll straighten any photos ordered. You may also wish to read Tony’s blog post about the night. I’m sure I’ll be asking him to help me in the future, whenever my normal assistant is unavailable. However, Julian will be back from Nepal soon enough.

The photos from the event can be found in the client gallery. The survivors photo didn’t work out so well, since the silent disco meant that nobody could hear me trying to arrange them. Ironic really. Several attempts can be downloaded free of charge from my Flickr page.
