ANationADay

Max has started a new project which not only keeps him photographing during the World Cup but also gives him a good 'reason' to watch as much football as he wants...He is photographing a football fan from all the participating nations and posting one on his Blog each day of the games. Attached here is a photo we took on one of these photo/project trips of a man called Nico who was not going to risk not being able to get into a busy pub to see the game and brought his own portable TV - don't you just love German efficiency!!

Village Fetes in South London

This seems to have been the weekend of village Fetes in South London we went to two - one on Albert Square where saw snails being raced...and the other was at Clever Square where we got to see (to Max's horror)a Punch and Judy show...en route home we also saw this abandoned ice cream...

A weekend in Finland

We were lucky enough to be working on a Puukko (traditional Finnish knife) project in Finland last weekend...it involved us spending most of the time in a cellar or by a mosquito ridden log pile, but this aside it is a great project to be working on ... and we'll share some photos with you in once processed!

Happy New Year!

Max has started the New Year by eating local specialities in Chengdu, China.
He sent me (Liz) these photos from his welcoming party which was at an amazing looking restaurant.. he had so much food, dan dan noodles, (again) abalone, scallops and some amazing beef, and loads of other nice food, including pork and even foie gras....

Wishing I was there..

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.
