Change of Name

admin@mandjbloomfield.com — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 14:02:09 +0100

We have changed our company name.  A fact that you may not be aware of is that we have traded under the name Bloomfield Photography although all our work is copyrighted as M & J Bloomfield.

This all came about because when we started our partnership; we started trading as Bloomfield Photography.  Then when we started selling images and users wanted to use our names in the acknowledgements because this was easier for copyright issues.  And so we have worked this way for a long time.  Recently we have been reviewing the business and we came to the conclusion that it was time change our trading name to M&J Bloomfield.

Hence the name change from now on we are trading as M&J Bloomfield.  How will this affect you if you are doing business with us?  Not at all; unless you are writing us a cheque.  All you need to do is to make it payable to M&J Bloomfield rather than Bloomfield Photography.  It is as simple as that.   Everything stays the same, email, website and physical addresses are all the same as are the telephone numbers.

Website style changes

admin@mandjbloomfield.com — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 16:10:46 +0000

Just recently we have made some changes to the "look and feel" of the website. We have a new picture gallery on the home page. The about us page has been redesigned giving you a little more information about our individual photographic journey along with a general redesigned page layout on all pages. This will make reading the pages easier.

Kenya's wildlife needs your help!

admin@mandjbloomfield.com — Wed, 28 May 2008 09:32:12 +0100

Due to the reduced number of tourists visiting Kenya this year, the Kenya Wildlife Service will have a funding shortfall this is going to affect its anti poaching and compensation budgets. Without money for patrols and to compensate farmers it will inevitably result in greater losses of our precious wildlife. Losses that may not be sustainable.
So if you are thinking of a safari, you can do your bit for wildlife conservation as well as having a great holiday, by visiting Kenya.
There is no better time to go and there are some great deals to be had. One of the best safari operators for seeing game is Freeman Safaris, these are the people we use when visiting Kenya.
