Heart & Soul

With a month to go before LOOK/13 - Liverpool International Photography Festival, I thought I should offer up a little tease of the work in progress for my project. I can honestly say I've put my heart and soul into this one and it has forced me to approach the creative process in a more physical, hand-on way. It has at times been quite frustrating trying to get all the parts of the project to connect up but (famous last words) I think it might be nearly there. So here are a couple of pictures to whet your appetite and watch this space for more information and images soon.

A Lovely Pair of Pins

I knew the expression 'pins' referring to legs but had to Google what the Cockney rhyming slang comes from. It looks like 'pins & pegs', but there are some great alternatives like 'bacon & eggs' and 'dolly pegs'.

The North West of England is a beautiful place, with some stylish residents. 

Hold Your Hair In Deep Devotion

At last after a week of being indoors, I walked into the light! I went solo and had a photography day in Liverpool, just what the doctor ordered, as they say. I'm a bit out of words at the moment and was going to include a Philip Larkin poem, but I've been thinking that Alex Turner is my modern day poet hero and this is my favourite track on AM, tucked away at the end. He's in his twenties and yet the words suggest a time before he was born, filling my head with images and memories. I've included a link to the track if you want to listen to The Arctic Monkey doing their thing whilst taking in my pictures... UPDATE Well since writing the above it has been pointed out to me that the song is actually based on a poem by John Cooper Clarke, which makes sense of the time frame (being written in the early Eighties) and the fact that I responded to the lyrics like a poem. Apparently Alex Turner first heard it read by his English teacher whilst at school. So mayb
