Perspective

Myths are public dreams, dreams are private myths.
Joseph Campbell

Little tiny you should rest assured that you irrelevant crap, means nothing when looking at the bigger picture. So push it aside, and get stoked!

On Friday i was down South bank and came across their most recent installation. It is an amazing replica of the city built of small bricks. It really gave me a refreshed bit of perspective. We spend so much time contemplating trivial issues. If we put half as much energy into taking everything life throws as us through positive eyes, we would achieve so many incredible things.

I started saying yes to everything about 2 months ago, and despite the fact this is going to make me sound like a massive hippy, the idea that somehow the good energy thats been going out, its flying back at me, feels pretty awesome. Iv not felt this awesome in years. Sadly i could not find a good video for this band. But here is possibly the most posi song you can ever find buy HC band Good Clean Fun. I used to love this band as a nipper.

sing along folks:

"I know how I want to live: Positive! (x4)
Positively Positive
Don't know what I want
But I know I want to give
I know how I want to live
Positively Positive
I'm going to find a way
I'm going to start today"

Positively Postive

totally radical new photo booth discovered.

and then my front bike wheel got stolen ( the only bit of my bike that was not locked). But the booth makes it all ok, a bike wheel is far more accessible then a vintage, analogue, b/w photo booth. New technology has destroyed there being any hope of beauty in future photo booth pictures, and thats just a single example. I will be going here weekly. Oh yes!

all grown up!

I'm french the kitten. I am growing up real fast and i think i must weigh at least 2 bags of sugar now. I caught my first mouse ages 10 weeks so now I'm a real man.

flat mates

a few portraits of my old flat mates from earlier this year, I kinda miss them despite their womanising punk rock antics.

London - toronto-la

this is a mixture of random contact sheets i put through recently. These are photos of contact sheets again as im not near a scanner until i get back to the UK.

Toronto - Oct 08

London 08 - council estate birthday, Brick Lane, Shoreditch

LA- March 08

London nights, turn of the season.

This was shot a few nights before i left for Toronto in the early hours. Its wet and your feeling your first winter chill touch your bones. A sensation you will battle for the next six months despite the myth of an indian summer. This women is our lead character in our film noir night life.

lets talk tradition

I crossed this car on a walk through Shoreditch, London last month. Its a traditional Indian wedding car. I dig it, its makes me think about British tradition, religion aside, there does not seem to be much left? apart from a bunch a hearty appetisers like a bloody pork pie or bangers and mash lazy living has got the better of us. We don't dress up for much, we don't open doors for people, and manners are long gone. It might just be time to review those rules of good will decorum. 

London Calling

There is a world of dead space in the city of London. Check out this use of space in this dead pub building, what a great way to make a feature of something so lifeless. Lights are the new wall paper.

Traditional British

So here are a bunch a photos from Kew. We hit this spot up last month for a birthday stroll. Our attempt at being civilized lasted until sunset, then the lost boys mentality of pulling a party out of your ass and drinking till the early hours surfaced. Kinda dig the way some of these shots look like vintage postcards, mainly the first one. oh to be british.

fair grounds and drop kicks ( in the face)

So iv a hard drive of shit here so things are going to get a bit all over the place with uploads. Here is a little photo of the fairground that pops up in pic circus every Crimbo. Its full of shitty tourists you want to drop kick in the face. But makes for rad photos. FACT.

objects on the way home

oxford street - things you dont notice

Spotted this last week on oxford street - fair play to who ever got away with it!

places that i miss

Looking back at old photos makes you miss the places you been but also makes you eager to go on more adventures. This is to 2008 and the adventures ahead.

We hold these kind of images close to our hearts.

The paths we cross

I figured i should start to bung up some of our older stuff amongst the new, some of the paths we have crossed. Being on the tour circuit for a few years i was privi to alot of intimate moments with bands / fans and that whole indulgent world. Enjoy

art brings us together

this picture was taken last year when louise (one of our best buds from new york) was over in London for her show. She sold a piece within hours and made sure our weekend was full of colour.
