Another photo taken at home of the sunset.. pretty pretty.
And this is one I took in Thailand this summer - it was rainy season so tons of storms. This was my last day having a drink on a deserted beach..

Dark portraits
I find Lee Jeffries portraits utterly absorbing. Im always looking at peoples eyes and the detail and emotion that he manages to capture is genius. and what a great story too...
Having previously been a sports photographer Jeffries chance meeting with a young homeless girl in the streets of London changes his artistic approach forever. Lee Jeffries recalls that, initially, he had stolen a photo from this young homeless girl huddled in a sleeping bag. The photographer knew that the young girl had noticed him but his first reaction was to leave. He says that something made him stay and go and discuss with the homeless girl. His perception about the homeless completely changes. They become the subject of his art. The models in his photographs are homeless people that he has met in Europe and in the United States.
Can you spot it?
I like these 2 pieces of typography by MaricorMaricar
"When I realised there was a typo in the middle of sewing this piece I thought about unpicking and redoing but in the end the mistake actually works with the lyric so it remains. And funnily enough most people don't pick up on the typo." - Took me ages to spot.. either way i really like them.
Places..
My Mums from Portugal and my Dads Australian so they've shown me some pretty amasing and inspiring places. Its definitely rubbed off on me, about 3 years ago I went traveling to Guatemala and trekked up Volcan Tajumulco. It's 13,845ft and the highest peak in Central America.
A photo I took of the view from the summit at the crack of dawn with the sun casting
a shadow of the whole volcano with views as far as Mexico and the Pacific.
A photo from the entrance of my tent one morning..
A photo at 4:00am on the top of a ruin watching the sunrise above the Jungle.
Pretty fun to do this and see all those places..
"3 guys, 44 days, 11 countries, 18 flights, 38 thousand miles, an exploding volcano, 2 cameras and almost a terabyte of footage..."

What a heart breaking set of photographs. This quote said during it is so perfectly true..
"A photographer is contending with time and timelessness, the illusion of stopping time in a frame or looking back at time from a photograph and trying to recover whats missing. Whats outside the frame."
< I found this photo of us the other day, (its kinda goofy). We went to New York when I was 7 and visited the World Trade Centre, and then i took this (V) photograph 3 years ago i went back and this is what i saw..

Shows..
In my local town there's this really cool old brewery thats been turned into loads of little craft workshops and studios with lots of little exhibitions. I did textiles at school and have always loved crafts. What i love about graphics is that i can still use these skills. I love to create pieces that the process is relevant to the final outcome and to the message I'm trying to communicate.
At the moment they have an exhibition of only students work. I loved this ceramic bowl..
I went to Fresh Air 2011 back in the beginning of the summer. Its in the Cotswolds (where i live) and showed outdoor sculpture by more than 100 artists.

This is a piece by Tom Allan which i thought was quite fun. He uses stone and marble in his work. I love the way the box is polystyrene - it kinda takes away the preciousness.
I love how charismatic Stephen Charlton's bronze work is. I love it when a piece of art just makes you smile. These weren't at the show but some more of his work..

Captain hook
These coat hooks are pretty neat. Perfect in a hallway (I think my new house is on my mind!).
I love Dominic Wilcox's stuff. These paintbrushes were made for the exhibition 'Object Abuse' where designers had to 'Take an everyday object, remold, rebuild and repurpose it to create an entirely new item, using as little additional materials as possible.' He was inspired by drying out paintbrushes.. i want!
The exhibitions on at KK Outlet, Hoxton.. When im back in town in a week or two im def popping in.
I love his other stuff too..
This was back in his college days. oh god. house. again.
These all over london. nice!
