other work
I'm using these large paper mache numbers for a photo-shoot tomorrow and had to paint them all this week. I managed to not create too much of a mess but it did make me feel a little nostalgic about my days at art school when I'd walk around covered in paint and glue . I think I might have to look out my old artbox.
Mess is good as long as it's a 'creative mess'... yeah?
London loves
The way people just fall apart
London loves
The way you just don't stand a chance

The mystery of a speeding car
Okay, a bit of a theme going on with my recent post titles linking to some of my favourite songs, but would you think I was weird if I told you I often think in music lyrics and associate images with lyrics or song titles?...thought so!
Anyway this one felt apt after spending a long weekend in London town. I ♥ London (I don't need a t-shirt to declare it). I love everything about it. I lived there for just over a year and had the best time and one of the best summers I've ever had. Most of my friends still live there and I will forever associate it with sunshine and good times and this weekend didn't fail to disappoint!
I was in London to be a bridesmaid and a photographer at my best friend Emma's wedding. Paul and I spent the weekend catching up with friends, wandering around Soho, eating (mostly asian) food and enjoying the sunshine...and there was a lot of sunshine!
This photo was taken whilst we were on a boat trip to Greenwich (a great way to see the city from a different perspective). The young girl was a tourist who I assume was still caught up with Royal Wedding fever... surely there is no other reason you would wear a union-jack shirt?!
I decided to revive my holga to trial it out over the past few weeks. I took it to a wedding, wandered around Millport with it, then took some random shots around the house and whilst out and about.
It's tough to get the right focal distance with it... but sometimes I think that adds to the image. I just took a point & shoot approach (or asked Paul to point and shoot!) and these are the results.
