alarmed

i’ve just spotted the word armed in alarmed.  that’s interesting.

a grey morning

this was the scene at tescos yesterday morning before the doors open.  only grey cards (even the green one was grey), grey sky and wet grey carpark.  classic british weather.

it got quite nice later on though.

i took the day of work yesterday to look after the girls as they had an inset day and jane was working.  so we went ice skating in the morning then headed to a transport cafe for a greasy slippery fry up.

live on stage.  not the film!

the watched snog

i went to see the Rodchenko exhibition on friday and was inspired to take this photo.  it was only afterwards i noticed the girls with balloons on the top left.

guess the scene

080222_350d_img_2251.jpg

can anyone guess what’s going on here ?  you’ve got to guess the two parts to win.  as a clue it was taken in central london.  the blur is thanks to me experimenting with motion blur in preparation for a different shot.  20 pence in cash for the first correct answer.

please pay

i don’t think that’s her real hand

the polystyrene plant

i know what you are thinking, but it’s not.  there’s no such thing as a sugar lump tree.  it’s in fact a polystyrene plant.  the one is in bloom, hence the poly blobs on the end of the spiky branches.

this sign would work well on my desk at work.

we can guess what happened next

get dressed

this shop in bracknell, england is quite fantastic.  all the mannequin’s were bold.  except this one, which had covered up with a hat and sun glasses.  she was a lot shorter than the other mannequins too …

dummy

080223_850_img_7041.jpg

whilst out on a photoshoot with jen and leo (oooh, look at me!) i was delighted to find this dummy

Leo had asked me earlier what kinds of things i usually photograph.  And there waiting for us was one of my favourite subjects !
