Love is in the Toon

I just chanced upon this, quite by accident.  But I thought the fabulous pictures were worth sharing.

Photographer Ken Lam explains:

Emily and Kin found me over the internet 3 months ago. We didn’t meet each other until the actual engagement photo shoot in Newcastle. However, it wasn’t an issue at all as we discussed everything through the email and telephone. Communication is key. Kin is a Marketing Consultant and Emily is an accountant working in London. When I heard that they are both working in the same company, I thought “isn’t it great!!!” How come I can’t work the same company with my lovely wife.

Emily and Kin met in the University while studying in Sydney Australia and have stayed there for 12 years. Emily and Kin are keen travellers; their love for travel have brought them to England to work 7 months ago. I could feel their happiness and how comfortable they were in the presence of each other. They have been together since 8 years ago and now, before they get married, they want a set of photographs that can capture their free spirit as a young, energetic couple very much in love. Emily and Kin, I hope you like these photos!

Try your luck with the Shields Gazette

I’m not a big fan of the Shields Gazette – particularly their woeful sports coverage.

They do, however, more often than not, provide a comments box on the end of each story.  So, theoretically when the story is crap, as they tend to be – you can tell them.

Trouble is, for the past six months I have been trying in vain to get them to publish any comment at all.  Okay so while not one of them have ever said: “wow great article”, they’ve not be so unpolite.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else can beat the SG’s censor.

It hardly seems worth sending out a sport reporter on Newcastle’s pre-season Majorca jaunt but they have. And it certainly doesn’t seem like value for money when you see the standard of the copy provided.  However, I’ve just posted a sickly sweet “great stuff” message to see if I can finally break my posting duck.

Wll it ever see the light of day?

The article is here – any chance we can deluge them with comments to see if anything gets through?
