Moon

The last week off in my road to recovery and I actually used the time for something creative. Tom and I went to see Moon with Sam Rockwell. It was really good, very spooky and apparently made on a low budget. I won't go into the story at all because it could spoil it for you. I wasn't expecting the storyline I got having watched the trailer beforehand.

Kevin Spacey as the robot is very spooky and you can't tell for ages whether he's a goodie or a baddie. The set is great and Sam Rockwell plays the disheveled role very well. It's funny in parts, gripping in others and at the end there's a really poignant sad bit. Oooh a whole range of emotions for you! It's a must see and I recommend it.

WIRES by Ines Querido

Was searching the world wide web - what a marvelous thing it is - and found a project that I really liked by Ines Querido. I love photographers who still shoot in B&W and these photos are so still and meditative. All photos are copyright Ines Querido. She has other projects on her website www.inesquerido.com

Thomas's New Website

My boyfriend Thomas has launched his new website several months after our beloved Red Bulletin F1 magazine ended. I hope he's going to get plenty of work from it and I'll put a couple of my favorite pics of his here in the blog as a taster. Or check out his online folio at www.thomasbutlerphotographer.com

Picasso 'Challenging the Past' Exhibition at the NG London

My Dad visited me in London for the first time at the beginning of June and he had one request, to go to the Picasso exhibition. I've been to several Picasso exhibitions mainly in his various studios along the French Riviera and in Barcelona. This collection for the 'Challenging the Past' exhibition focused on Picasso's fascination with the Old Masters. It was a really interesting side of Picasso I hadn't thought about before and it just shows you that even he worked in the styles of others and directly painted his own versions of famous portraits and self portraits.

It wasn't my favorite Picasso exhibition ever but it made for a fascinating two hours. My dad and I desperately trying to get to grips with our audio guides which we treat ourselves to so we could sound all knowledgeable and cultured when we left the exhibit!

Picasso's paintings in the Fondation Maeght in St Paul de Vence are my favorites. Also the Picasso museum in Antibes part of which shows photos of Picasso working on the canvases in the studio itself.
