Raining Kate and Dogs

Today Kate Stevenson joined me in Cambridge for a photoshoot. We wandered around the backs and had a sandwich before heading off to the Sedgwick site. From there we accidentally snuck into Ridley Hall. We were then joined by Will Bishop and went up in Great St Mary’s Church before finally ending up on Bridge Street drenched by the rain. One of the great things with having a camera is that you have an excuse to channel your inner child. It rains? Great, let’s go out and find some puddles. The rest is history.

Here are the photos from the day:
