Winter Warmer

November 29, 2010 by Le Fist

Something to chase those wintry blues away. A take on pressed flowers. Just hopped off the Eurostar. As freezing here as it was in London. I seriously recommend Uniqlo’s HEAT TECH thermals to ward off the cold and keep your delicate bits nice and toasty. In fact they work so well that I’m seriously considering doubling them up and doing away with trousers all together. Now I really understand why girls are so attached to leggings. You feel kind of […]

Lone Star

Henri IV, Place du Pont Neuf Took this the other day whilst crossing the Seine. Rather liked the idea of a gallant mid-canter against the evening rush hour traffic. One for the Great Archive of Random Photographs then. A plus tard.

La Jeune Fille: 1978, French Edition, Laffont, France I popped into Ofr. the other day. Its a bookshop cum gallery on rue Dupetit Thours [metro: arts e metiers/ temple] that I’ve mentioned before. Considering its only round the corner I hadn’t been there for a while. Perhaps out of fear — I never leave there empty-handed. NEVER. Anyway, I browsed the shelves for about 30 minutes. There wasn’t much that interested me this time, strangely. I’d spotted the new Marc […]

Some photographs I took back in the summer. I liked the shadows cast on the stairs. The sort of zig zag. And the intense red of the door. RED. One of my favourite colours. Strong, intense and bloody. I guess its an ode to Kertesz, the great photographer, on whom I shall do a post shortly. Been meaning to do that for ages. As you’ve noticed tweaked things a bit. New background colour. Deep, slate GREY. Another of my favourites. […]

Ah, well. A complete change of tactic. From abject seediness to dewy-eyed poignancy in one quick swipe of the bluetooth keyboard_ http://WWW.PICTURESOFMYMOTHER.COM It does what it says on the tin. Readers submit a picture of their mother along with a few lines to accompany the shot. Its a simple and elegant concept that somehow navigates the schmaltz to produce something quietly, powerfully beautiful. all images taken from http://www.picturesofmymother.com

Super Fierce, reprise.

Not that this matters but I might as well finish off the saga_ Vanity 6 was a short-lived affair. Sordid tales of sex and egos resulted in lead singer, Vanity [real name Denise Matthews] leaving the group to pursue a — you guessed it — short-lived solo career. The hits failed to materialise and poor Denise became a born again Christian — I’m not making this up. Fair Denise was replaced by Patricia Kotero – her evil nemesis who went […]
