I'm a freelance sports photographer based in North East Scotland. When I'm not photographing football or rugby, I like to experiment with different techniques to create different images. Sadly, most end up in the bin!

Let's have a quick look through some wedding photos and how many Kilts do I see? There's one, and another, and another, oh look another. I'm a Scot and you can wear whatever the hell you like! I don't care who you are, where your from or what you believe in. If you look good and feel good in something, wear it! Now, I'm off to work in my high heeled sequined fishing boots, which are my driving shoes!
Unless Costco sold it to her planted in the pot, the tree died when it was cut down! She is returning a tree that she claims has died when in fact it was dead when she bought it. I'm going to try this with one of Costco's roast chicken! I'm going to return it on the basis that the chicken hasn't laid any eggs!

The book is called "Former People - The last days of the Russian Aristocracy" by Douglas Smith. It looks at the post 1917 Russia from the point of view of a few noble families.
I've read a lot of books about Imperial Russia & Soviet Russia, Russian history was my thing for a while. This book just concentrates on a few families of the nobility and how their lives were affected post 1917. The section I had just read when I made the above comment was about the period 1918 - 1921 when an estimated 10 million people died in the civil wars between the Whites & the Reds and the terror that was inflicted on ALL the people that didn't back the Bolsheviks.
