Johns Brothers. Not bloggers

OK, we admit it. Neither of us are especially good at updating this blog page.  We do actually have a plan; if anyone could see the list of subject titles sat in the JB.photo blogs 'to do' list they would be pretty impressed/worried for our sanity!

One of the reasons we formed Johns Brothers.Photography was partly because, over the years, we noticed that one of us would be very actively shooting, while the other would be a bit quiet.  The theory of this site was to try and have more regular updates from one or the other of us.  Plus, seeing your brother posting more than you is a real motivator...

Unfortionaly, due to poor health and serious stress levels at both of our work places over the last six months, we have both struggled with finding the time to get out, and so this blog has been a bit of a low priority.

Hopefully, things will change soon, so please keep checking.  We will obviously post any updates on whatever social media happens to be available at the time we get around to it.  

New photos posted on the main site tend to get their own announcement.

Johns Brothers. The Cobb

28th February. A Sunday. Last night, it seemed like a good idea.

The wine probably helped.

At 5am on a Sunday, getting up for the sunrise suddenly does not seem like such a good idea. 

The wine is...regrettable.

Our chosen location is Lyme Regis, a not-too-far-away coastal resort town and one that has been on the list for ages, but I've rarely visited. On this cold February morning, however, all I can think of are two things - coffee and bacon.

Andy supplied the coffee. Bacon would have to come later. We arrive at the famous Cobb, a breakwater dating back hundreds of years described by Andy as a race track, due to its glorious banking, sweeping bends. The Cobb has been shot thousands of times of course, but we thought we'd give it a go. This would be the first time we've been out shooting together for ages....years in fact. It was nice to just get out and talk rubbish about cameras.

We were totally unprepared for just how cold the morning would be, and within twenty minutes we were both frozen and again questioning our life decisions. Not even Iceland was this cold. But we persisted, at least for a little while, knowing that this much effort on a cold Sunday morning would be rewarded.

As it happens, the sunrise was flat and lifeless and there was no real reward, but if every trip was a success that would take the fun out of things. Right?

Then we went home, had coffee and a bacon sandwich, and decided to form this website. 

True story.

Johns Brothers. Welcome

We've talked about doing this for a few years and now we've finally done it. The website represents literally hundreds of hours worth of work, much of it stood outside in the cold waiting for the right conditions and recently sat in front of a computer screen wondering how to actually build a website.

We got there in the end, and we're proud of the end result.
