Oyster Picture Framing » Oyster General

I have been doing a bit of photography again.

Over the last six months I have returned to film photography, after 10 years of only shooting digital pictures. I thought I was getting lazy and did not consider what I was photographing well enough. So I have gone back to basics. I have made a couple of pinhole cameras and am really enjoying having to work with the limitations and qualities of both film and pinhole photography. I have now also dusted off my 35mm SLR camera and put a few rolls through that which has also been rewarding. You can see more of my efforts here www.scarland.com

Is it a bird. Is it a plane. No. Its an Oyster Car !!!

Sadly the spitfire went to it’s final resting place, and we now have a very smart but small Panda no doubt you will see it around .

Many thanks to The Sign Co. Who did a fantastic job.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year! After a bit of a staggered start I think weather permitting we are up and running again. This week I may have to leave early to collect my children because the roads around our house are still very bad, so please ring if you are going to call in.

It’s Christmas

Hello everyone its my last day in today and am very much looking forward to a bit of a break. I will return on the 5th of January.

December is always a nightmare for us picture framers as work all piles in for the same deadline which gets closer and closer until at some point you have to say No I cant do it how ever late I stay. Then it snows oh joy. Thankfully my last frame was assembled about an hour ago. I now just have to wait for people to collect their pictures. At least now I can relax.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all my customers as I was expecting a very difficult year in 2009 due to our economic down turn but thanks to you all things have been ok, there have been one or two dips but some surprising highs too. Anyway thanks to everyone, have a great Christmas and a very good New year.
