The name was Bond, James Bond!

“Ah Mr Gotts, I’ve been expecting you.”
I have been fortunate enough to have photographed many actors who have played James Bond and possibly a future one(!). The lovely #PierceBrosnan and I have shot a number of times. The most recent was at his glorious pad in #Malibu. Pierce was walking his dog when I arrived on his drive. I was greeted with the Bond-esque ... “Ah Mr Gotts, I’ve been expecting you.” I have been called the #Goldfinger of photography, so that welcome did make me chuckle
We had met up to do a shoot for the #SaveTheArctic campaign for the ever campaigning #VivienneWestwood. The premise was literally a sea (not frozen) of famous faces wearing her special designed T-shirts. These shots would then be used to raise awareness. The glorious people I met whilst shooting these type of camping is very rich. But it makes things feel very fluffy and warm when you get to meet up with old chums as well as making a difference.
Happy birthday Mr Brosnan!

Each session has its own story, but one of my most memorable Word hurdle encounters was with the wonderful Pierce Brosnan.
What a fantastic story! Pierce Brosnan seems to carry that effortless Bond charm both on and off screen. Being welcomed with a line worthy of a 007 film must have made the shoot even more memorable. I always enjoy behind-the-scenes anecdotes like this. When I’m not reading about iconic actors, I often unwind with Slope Rider, a browser-based sledding game where players race down snowy slopes, dodge obstacles, and chase high scores.
Snowrider stands out because each playthrough unfolds in a unique way. A smooth ride can suddenly turn into a tense sequence of quick reactions, while an unexpected opening may lead to a high-scoring run. This unpredictability keeps the gameplay fresh and engaging.
Unlike earlier games in the series, FNAF 3 focuses on facing a single but relentless enemy. Springtrap constantly searches for the player, forcing you to monitor cameras and use sound devices to control his movements. At the same time, broken systems must be repaired before they create serious problems. The combination of careful planning, resource management, and psychological tension makes every night exciting and filled with suspense.
