Cowboy up Cupcake...

I have just started reading The Legend of Colton H. Bryant by Alexandra Fuller, which so far is great, anyway it reminds me of Jane Hilton's Dead Eagle Trail work (which is currently being made into a book) Jane's work as I have mentioned before will be showing in the gallery in April....
But on a wet, dark Tuesday evening a nice end of the day quote from fullers book seems apt:
"Cowboy up Cupcake, everyone has their freakin problems....."

Taking Portraits

Just a quick link to a great article on the Concientious blog, its based on Franz Fiedlers books Portrait photography, well worth a read here....

Teenage Years

Here is some work in progress by photographer Soraya Hocine, its from a body of work called Teenage Years, which is being shot around a skate park in London's Camden.. Its a little bit Jo Szabo and a little bit Ed Templeton...

The Telegraph has done a nice little questionaire with Seamus Murphy here.... Well worth a read...
