Day 2 & 3 in Paris

We were a bit optimistic to think that we would write everyday from Paris, we just got engulfed by the joys of Parisian life with her food, drink and of course photography!!


At the Paris Photo Opening there was a brilliant intervention which involved a pile of old (family) photographs for visitors to pick up...

...a lot of brilliant work: above Amy Stein...


...And of course there was time to find some great patisserie's to eat cake...

Day 1 in Paris

Last night we popped to see the opening of Herbert Ponting's photos of Captain Scott's Antarctic Expedition @ the Tokyo Arts Club. These historic prints were beautifully reproduced as platinum prints.






After getting in touch with history we went to La Coupole to finish off the evening with a huge meal.

The Economic Consequences of Mr. Brown

We joined Bardwell Press to the launch of Stein Ringen's book: The Economic Consequences of Mr. Brown we did some photography, but also had a chance to listen to a very interesting debate witch included Polly Toynbee from the Guardian. We think the book looks great!

We got a bit creative this weekend and made some cupcakes - thought we would share them with you!

Windows from Brussels!

We're back from Brussels where we had a few days of wondering around discovering the city. After looking through the photos we noticed we had photographed quite a few windows - more than usual - we love windows!

around london

On Friday we cycled around London and here are a few snaps we took...

We're off to Little Amigos

....hopefully we will get some cake...

Scooter Cafe

We had a few beers in Lower Marsh today - we're not sure what it is called, but to us it's the scooter cafe..here are two snaps..

Project tests

Today we started early..at about 7.30am we set off to take some test shots, using a RB, a flash, cable release and a skateboard.

We thought that we would have been talking to the security, but it looks like they are not around, apart from one man taking photos of what looked like random paint splats across the pavement.

We took our shots and a few digital records of our lonely shoot which we're sharing with you here.

Found photo

I was yet again looking through some old photos and I came across this one. It is by no means a masterpiece, but its interesting to me as I remember us walking in Beijing and finding this unconventional bike cover by the side of the road -or perhaps someone could not let go after their dog had gone to dogheaven...

France 2009

We're back in London after our trip to France - here is one of the portraits we took with our 5x4. Hope you like it!

I know we keep going on about our China trip, but it was great and we are just going through the images again while thinking of having an exhibition, so we thought it might be an idea to share a few of them with you.
