Time marches on for the Glitterati.

The dreary conditions are keeping me in, although I will be heading out over Exmoor at the weekend looking for some atmospheric shots. Fashion goes out the window (but not colour co-ordination) as I don Bobble Hat, Hiking Boots, waterproof trousers, Thermal Vest, Fleece and Paramo Jacket. I am walking to keep warm and the moor looks dark and brooding with a glimmer of white above the snowline at this time of year. Amazingly between showers the sun comes out and a rainbow lights the way. I love the coast and countryside, its changing light when the moorland colour returns fleetingly. 


Earlier in the month, I braved the outdoors (well out the front door) to shoot the Full Snow Moon. The moon,  a wonderful golden glowing star lighting up the sky. Three other starry events took place in February over the pond 


January The 81st Golden Globe Awards was an awards ceremony for film and American television productions of 2023. It was broadcast live on 7th January 2024, from The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California, Winners & Nominees - Golden Globes. OPPENHEIMER, starring Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Junior  came out on top


18th February 77th British Academy Film Awards BAFTAS 

WINNER: OPPENHEIMER Christopher Nolan, Charles Roven, Emma Thomas. Tap here for BAFTA nominations & winners


This side of the pond 'The BRIT Awards' took place at London's O2, on a Saturday for the second year running. Singer-songwriter Raye received seven Brit Award nominations, a new record for one artist in a single year.


If that wasn't enough,  Fashion Week fall/winter juggernaut has been rolling in February from New York, London, Milan rounding up with Paris at the beginning of March. 


This year's Oscars is the 96th Academy Awards and took place at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on the 10th March. You can catch up on Youtube etc. Interesting to watch the movie stars and celebrities as they arrived on the Red Carpet adorned in all their finery.  Sadly it wasn't a perfect world for Barbie after another winning night for Oppenheimer. 


Running now is Cheltenham Festival and the big news is that 'Ladies Day' is being changed to a more gender-inclusive 'Style Wednesday'

....I'm sure all the fashionistas will love it- let's hope the sun comes out and the rain holds off.
