Floating

[See this picture at a larger size in the West section of the gallery]

Okay, here we go:

West at Kro (in the conservatory area), 325 Oxford Road, Manchester from Thursday 7th September.

And whilst we're at it:

A Day In The Life at The Norwich Playhouse from Saturday 2nd September.

Hope some of you get the chance to check out one or the other.

Tickling Fate

I almost didn't post this as it's a bit "pretty but so what?" - however it reminds me of a nice day walking on the Yorkshire Moors and picking wild bilberries with El Gato, which is good enough. I also like the tree, hippie that I am.

(And it's a nice bit of synchronicity that Susan's post today was arboreal in nature too!).

I'd been holding off posting as I'd expected to have the final details about the Kro show by now, but I somehow seem to think that, having waited for a while, going ahead now will somehow prompt that to happen sooner... Pity me and my addled logically-challenged brain.

Currently reading Martin Parr and Gerry Badger's epochal The Photobook: A History volume I - hugely recommended - I've already pre-ordered Volume 2, which has been delayed for some time but is due soon. Review and sample pages here.

Okay, so if my fate-teasing plan worked you'll see show details appear here very shortly, but even if not there'll be some fun stuff from my Wales trip (which was magnificent by the way) soon enough. Hold on to your cravats!

Working for the Man

Just a slightly surreal looking moment from a job last week ... somewhere between a Talking Heads video and 1984 (as much of life is...).

I still seem to be plugging away at things without getting anywhere at the moment, but at least after going to Cardiff this coming weekend for a job I'm going to get the opportunity to spend a few days exploring the South Wales coast, and hopefully get a sidetrip to Dungeness in too. Aside from a few forays into nearby bits of the north coast I've not seen much of Wales, so I'm looking forward to hearing some cymraeg and tackling some laver bread - Hwyl Fawr for now!
