Event Horizon

These photos are of a new "installation" on the Southbank of the Thames by Antony Gormley. Very simple concept - place 31 life size statues on various buildings - but the overall effect is very cool. He is also responsible for the statues on Lake Ballard in WA. Further info on Wikipedia for those interested ....

2 Years Ago ...

... I was in Melbourne enjoying the "wonder" that is Eurovision, with only a couple of weeks left in Australia. Where does the time go ?

Well, I'll be back around Christmas for a couple of weeks (I promise !!!) .

Anyway, I was digging through the archives the other day and found this rather scary photo of me taken in Warsaw (i.e. nearly 2 years ago) after a veeeery long bus ride, followed shortly by getting horrendously ripped off by a taxi.



I post so few photos of myself you've probably forgotten what I look like - so here is a reminder.

Quelle Horreur!

Bizarrely today I got to go to Paris for the day for work. Literally, for the day. Leaving at 7 in the morning on the Eurostar train and arriving back at half ten in the evening. The weather was gorgeuous but unfortunately I was in a meeting for most of the day. We did get a quick tour by car of the city centre before heading back to the train station. I have been to Paris before, albeit over ten years ago. I didn't remember how impressive the city centre was though - perhaps it helped that this time it was in the warm spring sunshine rather than the cold winter of Christmas '96 !!

It's Been A While ...

Over a month since the last post, but hey, I've been busy - mainly with work. A lot of late nights and deadlines. All the usual fun stuff.

Some exciting news on the gig front - I managed to snaffle tickets for one of REM's "rehearsal" shows in Dublin in early July. Should be interesting - more info here.

And, even more exciting, I got a ticket to Glastonbury. Armed with my laptop and PC side by side I managed to get a ticket after about half an hour of timeouts and busy pages. The whole festival sold out in about an hour and a half. I can't wait. It means I get to see Arcade Fire for the third time this year (Last gig at Brixton was probably the best gig I have ever been too. period.) and, at last, I get to see bjork !!

And as if that wasnt enough good news - I went to the Walthamstow dogs Saturday night and managed to make enough winnings to pay for my pints. The satisfaction !

This Life Revisited

I posted a few weeks back some photos of the building where I thought This Life was filmed. Well I finally got a copy of This Life and DVD and took a screen capture showing Egg and Millie walking up to the house. The building in the background (with the red van outside) is where I work. Cool huh ?

The City

Went for a wander in "The City" Sunday and took a few shots of the architecture.

V&A Shadows

Photo taken at the V&A on the weekend while doing the London Flickr Scavenger Hunt.

Aaaaaargh .. Windows You Suck

Aaaaargh ... there is nothing like doing a couple of hours work and then succumbing to the Windows blue screen of death ... without saving first of course. Lady, can I borrow your mac ....

And now a shot from my visit to the Natural History Museum on Sunday as part of a Flickr Scavenger Hunt. That Earth thing is seriously weird.

My London Photo Map

Just killed an hour putting all my photos from London on a Flickr map. Kind of cool - check it out here. Just a shame they dont put them all on one page ....
