A tribute to Katie West, one of my favourite self-portrait artists.

If you don't know her you've been living under a rock and you should be ashamed of yourself.

where do you go to my lovely

I'm more than a little obsessed with Peter Sarstedt's Where Do You Go To (My Lovely) at the moment.

The Death Mook: How Do We Die?


Vignette Press are back with their second mook!

Following What Is Our Sex?, the new mook to be released in February 2009 explores all things death-related and asks the question "How Do We Die?"

A sampler of the mook will be available to download from the Vignette Press site in January, but until then you can feast your eyes on the quite wonderful cover designed by Jason Lingard and featuring an illustration by Nom Kinnear King. The mook is edited by Dion Kagan.

I will have a few images included in the mook, though no writing in this one.

More information about the mook's launch as news comes to hand.

In the meantime, you should pick up a copy of The Sex Mook. You know you want to...

and the way the rain comes down hard, that's how i feel inside

Though it's not raining at all, and that's not how I'm feeling right now.

Actually in a music mood today.
Joined blip.fm today and you can also find me on last.fm

pier hotel, folkestone

[I've entered this photo into the House theme for the next issue of JPG Magazine.
You can vote for it and the images I've entered into the
Fairy Tale and Zen themes by visiting my JPG profile.]


During travels around the UK in 2001 I visited Folkestone in Kent on the south coast of England.

Perched opposite the (by then) inappropriately named "Pleasure Beach", I fell in love with the abandoned Pier Hotel.

The grand crescent-shaped white building sparked off all sorts of unrealistic dreams of buying it and restoring it. The balconies, the little attic windows, all overlooking the ocean.

Even the thought of exploring its interior with my camera in hand in its then derelict state excited my imagination, though I never did.

For all I know it no longer stands in any state.

Thanks once again to my wonderful models and companions on the trip to Aradale (Karen, Sandy, Tony Olsson, Greg West and Roberts Birze), Melissa Kirkham for organising the weekend, and everyone else who came along and made it a fantastic weekend.

The previous post was the last of the images from the weekend of other people. Possibly some more self-portraits to come soon.
