Continental Drift

Owing to changes made by our web host we have been obliged to change the style and format of our Continental Drift Newsletter. While we hope that this will offer scope for improvements it is expected that we will need a short period in which to experiment. In the meantime we apologise for any inconvenience.

Our last Newsletter was published in March, so we have a fair amount of news to deliver in this edition.

ASP Relocation

After several delays Alan Skyrme Photography has at last moved its studio facilities from Curitiba, in the southern Brazilian state of Parana, to Natal in the northeast state of Rio Grande do Norte. The studio is smaller but suited to maintain our focus on product and tropical fruit photography, and the general location ( near the top end of Brazil’s Atlantic Rainforest ) will offer new opportunities for Nature, Landscape and Fine Art photography.

In due course we hope to expand our studio facilities to build our capacity, name and reputation in this region.

Work since our last Newsletter

As we have been obliged to archive our previous Continental Drift Newsletters we have reproduced the more recent ones on this new site so as to ensure picture editors / buyers and our existing clients can refer back to our earlier work with ease. Older Newsletters (going back to 2003) have been deleted as they are no longer relevant.

In the period MAR-JUN09 we travelled from Curitiba to the Northeast states of Sergipe, Alagoas, Pernambuco, Paraiba and Natal, and to the Northern state of Para, capturing landscape, travel, food, fruit and nature images for our stock libraries and for commercial clients.

At the end of May Alan Skyrme drove almost 4,000 kilometers from Curitiba to Natal - a journey that was planned to take 6 days but was completed in just four. Details of the journey will be published on the Shoot Stories site in the next couple of weeks.

ASP Sites

Alan Skyrme Photography owns over 20 web sites but only half a dozen of these are active.

Changes to these site normally appear in this Newsletter but as we have been quite busy (moves, travel, commercial photography, PC failures, web-hosting changes etc) we will revise this edition of Continental Drift over the next few days.
