Today my fully working, excellent condition £2.79p Kodak Coloursnap 35MM Model 2 camera arrived. I’m addicted. Even it doesn’t turn out to be fully working. I’m working out the settings and loving the clouds and sunshine. I’m remembering the frustration of loading film as Queenie and I try to fathom what the hell the manual is talking about. Sod it if it turns out not … Continue reading Killing time with my Kodak Coloursnap Model 2
I’m about to spend three days in the company of Madam Satan. I will watch this. I will read about and try to find the words to explain this gown. It’s about the gaze, a wonderful fabric called Nude Souffle and the vision both Adrian and DeMille shared. A weekend of nudity, pre-Hayes Code and cracking feminist film crit. Its about a random act of … Continue reading Madam Satan and a man called Adrian

Today we took pictures. Today we talked Jarvis. Today we ambled through memories of four soggy kittens on the washing line, horses arses and Christy John. Today we spoke of family. Of Grandads we never knew and stories we’ve heard told too many times. And I struggled with buttons, settings and light. This is gonna be an interesting journey. I need to study the manual. … Continue reading A journey with Matilda: Day one

To say more than here you are, … Continue reading Extending myself: A journey with Matilda

And to what do I owe this random act of happiness? A certain lass who sings in my … Continue reading I’m a lucky bugger

Well maybe not – seems the heat is here a little longer and we’re not just dreaming of summer. Its still here. And with tunes like this there’s no reason to succumb to the batten down.

There were some moments this summer that ensured the rays remained hot no matter what the weather. And when Miguel Migs new album Outside The Skyline dropped in my inbox six weeks ago my summer got even hotter. House as only a master can do, delivered with panache and style, House as it should be. Sexy, sublime and not a Guetta in sight. And with … Continue reading Miguel Migs reaches new heights with Outside The Skyline : Free ‘Breakdown’ download
