We'll Take a Cup O' Kindness Yet

Another year older. Another year passed. As the world welcomes the start of a new decade, I'm also welcoming the start of a new one in my life.

It hardly seems ten years since family and friends were gathered to celebrate my twentieth birthday and waiting to see what, if anything, Y2K might bring.


Caroline & Matt- Whitebox

The past 10 years were filled with events I could have never predicted as the ball dropped on the night of December 31, 1999, events that changed me and some that changed the world.


Lauren & Zack- Our Labor of Love

Some events took me down paths very different than the ones I'd originally planned for myself, and all the events molded me into the person I am now.

While I'm trying to figure out just where the last decade went and attempting to reconcile that I'm no longer a Twentysomething, I am looking forward to discovering what my 30s hold and what lies ahead in 2010.


Emma Mitchell

And for all of you, I wish for 2010 to be a year filled with much happiness and contentment. Happy New Year!!

Way She Shimmers

During the holidays, it always seems pretty frocks are plentiful in stores, each anxiously waiting to be plucked from the rack and claimed by a lovely lady for wear during the various parties of the season.

And of all the events during the holidays, New Year's Eve provides a perfect reason to don one of the numerous dresses vying for a chance in the spotlight; there are beautiful metallic numbers that glisten and glow.

L: Temeperly London. R: See by Chloe
L: Matthew Williamson. R: Philosophy di Alberta Ferreti.

Jewel-toned dresses glisten and shine next to black beauties that dazzle with embellishments. With so many choices and only one New Year's Eve each year, it's always difficult to decide what dress should get its chance to sparkle.

While I'd adore the chance to throw on any of the gorgeous options above, this year, I'll be rocking a black, one-shouldered number as I welcome the new year. How about you? If you're heading out this New Year's Eve, what made your cut?

Merry & Bright

Since Friday, I've gotten a much better handle on all my holiday to-dos, and although I can't say I've finished wrapping all my gifts, I guess for me, it wouldn't be Christmas without a few last minute items still left on my list!


Country Living

Over the next few days, I'm looking forward to spending quality time with my family and enjoying our holiday traditions, both new and old. For those of you celebrating Christmas tomorrow, I hope your day is very very merry one!

Technical Knock Out




Huge update alert! Things have been a little crazy; a couple of weeks back my laptop died, and this came along just as I found myself shooting pretty much every day. Hard work but good times. So, in no particular order...

Dice Club came back. I love Dice Club like it was my own oddly-coiffered child wearing pointy shoes and a see-through shirt. Romance, Cold In Berlin (ex Death Cigarettes) and Miss Something played. It was fun!







I also went to see lovely folks An Experiment On A Bird In The Air Pump play at their single launch.





We need some colour pictures now. I was invited along to get some shots of dance/theatre piece Lisa Appleby which was a great show and good to keep my eye in for forthcoming Exciting Dance Shoots.







Also another shoot with dancer, glass-bather and fire-eater Missy Macabre. It snowed!





I also did some promo shoots for Lazarus And The Plane Crash, a joint project between Joe from The Guillotines and Stephen from The Real Tuesday World.







You want portraits? Here's JFKt, writer.



Here's Dot Allison, singer.



Here's Fear Of Theydon, producer.




Out and about once more, I checked out a couple days of the Rock And Roll Expressionists mini-festival, with the likes of T.V. Smith, Alabama 3 and Vince Ray and the Boneshakers, as well as excellent art from 5 legendary artists such as Tom Spencer whose tattoo glass is superb.










And now for something completely different: promo shots for Miss Severity Myers.




Indeed. Although there are four or five others shoots I could show you, this is a fair idea of the sort of work I've been doing of late. But one other thing - the Artful Badger show at the Secret Garden Party Christmas Party. Everyone likes badgers, right?








So now I need a rest. Hello Christmas!
