You hear voices?

You hear them, so you are possessed.

Mind thoroughly warped this last week by the reissue of Byrne and Eno's 'My Life in the Bush of Ghosts' - the idea of a world haunted by voices carried by EM waves seeming just as resonant today as it did 25 years ago when the record first came out. Plus, experimental music with a bit of danceable funk? No bad thing.

It was also easily my busiest working week as a photographer ever - with a somewhat predictable last minute panic over getting the pictures for Edinburgh finished and delivered, plus several jobs including a session of portraiture which I decided to do on the streets of the Northern Quarter in Manchester, and turned out to be huge fun. Used my one day off from photography to, erm, go and see some photography - Elliott Erwitt at the NMPFT. A total joy, and providing the rarity of genuine laughter in a gallery, along with many deeper moments.

So, main news for this week is the opening of the Edinburgh exhibition at The Hub this Wednesday - I'll be there this weekend, and there's a meet 'n' greet session on Sunday evening. The Manchester exhibition at Kro has also been extended - will now be up until the end of the month.
