Monthy awards

I am ecstatic! I've just been awarded a Gold in two seperate image competitions. One with The Societies in the UK and the other with the Malta Institute of Professional Photography. Stalker Castle is surrounded by sea  water and is situated a few mile north of Oban, Scotland.

Now I need to work harder to keep the momentum going.

Carnival!!!

It's Carnival weekend in the Maltese islands. Quite a big number of Maltese are spending this festive weekend on our sister island of Gozo. But those that have decided not to, were blessed with sunshine and good weather in Valletta and Floriana. I was lucky that I have attended the band parade in Valletta on Friday. It was a joy to watch and listen. The band even danced while playing the "Party RockAnthem" tune by LMFAO.
Today (Sunday) the festivities continued with the grand defile' around the Granaries in Floriana to the young and not so young's content.

Enjoy some images:

The feast of St.Paul's shipwreck & local football

On the 10th of February we celebrate the landing of St. Paul on our island. For this year's feast, I was commissioned to shoot a concert by the "Paulus" orchestra at St.Paul's church in Rabat. It was quite an unusual event for me, being held in a church.
The feast came over a weekend, which also brings local football to the scene. Here are some pics of the two games which I shot today together with the concert.
