Girls Home Appeal with Justin Long

A few months ago we met the charming Justin Long  Justin@Girls Home , who many of you will know from movies such as Die Hard 4.0 and the hit US comedy New Girl .  He spent some time at the Girl's Home with Nice 's Rach and Drew who are close friends and trustees of Madre Albertina's Home for Girls in Nicaragua. As promised, we have the finished film from Justin's second visit to the girls.  The Girls Home is a fantastic charity which is very close to our hearts at Nice Images! It needs a little bit of help from all of us to continue building a safe and happy home for these young ladies , as you will see in this gorgeous short film! A little something to make you smile on a Thursday afternoon... http://hogardeninasmadrealbertina.com/videos/ Get in touch if you would like to help, donate or need any more information.

As you all know, Drew has been pretty busy lately filming whales up north, yet he has also produced this 30 second advert for SURF Survivors Fund, supporting survivors of the Rwandan Genocide.   His striking and beautiful image of Julienne, which is proudly displayed in our studio, is the focal point for SURF's charity ethos.

Bottlenose dolphins windfarm threat.

Drew Sutton , Nice Director, has been back out on the Scottish waters with  Philip Hoare  as they addressed the issue of the newly approved windfarm plans in the Moray Firth. Photo by Drew Sutton These waters are home to an array of wildlife, including the "UK's only resident population of bottlenose dolphins" and these 227 proposed turbines will disrupt their way of life since they depend on sonar. Have a read of Philip's article and if you can, pop along to Aquatopia: The imaginary of the ocean deep which opened this weekend at the Nottingham Contemporary and will continue at Tate St Ives in October.   http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2013/jul/17/sea-invisible-trash-heap-aquatopia Let us know what you think or even better, get involved with the WDC and exhibitions such as Aquatopia! http://www.nottinghamcontemporary.org/art/aquatopia
