Testing

36 shots and the first picture I take to make sure the camera was still alive (old compact) is the only one I like. So tempted to call this post RANDOM but I’m just not that cool….

Kaleidoscope Your Mind

What can I say. Firstly a BIG thank you to Tom Pandé for making a dream come true. Shot on a Minolta with a Kaleidoscope attachment fixed to the lens. A test shoot that has thrown up some interesting results and opened the door to many more.

Never Show Everything

I’ve been researching the Pin Up for a photo shoot I plan to do. Below are some examples of what I would like to create. I love the 1920′s black and white chic look that tantalises the viewer yet does not undermine the decorum of the subject. Also I cant help but be drawn to the classic drawings that sit on the line of being harmless and risky. How frightful, I must clutch the hem of my skirt for safety. Opps I’ve flashed garter belt… Playful yet extremely provoking.

Numero Group

Spent a minute browsing through the record label Numero Group’s blog and had to share. In a previous post back in July 09 (check it here) I embedded a youtube clip I found on Soul Sides based on the fact that it incorporated some captivating images with an incredible soundtrack. Having since kept an eye on the blog and the label I’ve been consistently impressed with the material they produce. A archival record label that releases unheard recordings! A diggers paradise….

Light: On The South Side is a book and 2 x LP that is a showcase of Michael Abramson photography of the scene and the soundtrack of funky Chicago blues heard from the stage and the Wurlitizer 1975-1977. What’s lovely about it is that since being released people have surfaced that actually feature in the book and have stories to tell from the era adding the the uniqueness of this find. For example Helen Saffold’s story, Helen was a socialite, promoter, and impresario and could be seen on the scene on nearly any given night. The night this photo was taken is particularly significant. It was February 14, 1976 and the setting is a Valentine’s Day party at the High Chaparral that she sponsored herself. Even though she had been shot just a few days before during an attempted robbery on her house, she checked herself out of the hospital so as not to miss her own party.

Makes me wonder if there will ever be the equivalent for my era? The sounds of Plastic People accompanied by Vent Fury’s photography……

You can check out there catalog here and the blog here. As they are based in Chicago shipping fees are high so I suggest you check out what Sounds of the Universe have first here.
