Melly Poppins

I am very proud of my favourite Animaux friend Melissa who is relaunching her brilliant Decks & The City blog under the wings of the equally brilliant Pop Magazine, the last issue of which I very much enjoyed (particularly the Tavi Photos and JG Ballard feature!).

Catch her blog here:

Rightfully so, Melli is there first music writer proper... she's Poppin.

Currently Feelin'

I met Hanna last week. She told me: XX, I love XX listen, you have to listen to them.

So I did.

And I realised that the strange Garagey remix of Florence + The Machine's Remix of You've Got The Love, that I heard whilst waiting for Piano Magic to play Rough Trade a few weeks ago was them. And that their album of the same name XX is beautiful and deserves Hanna's praise. So I've been listening to it on loop for days, weeks whilst I edit my photos. And I wonder if their sounds affect my imaging.

Introducing Vada Sultenfuss

Katerina, my old flat-mate is obsessed with the 80's and with Hollywood.

She draws amazingly colourful pictures and doesn't like rain much.

I found a chocolate eclair under the mattress of her old bed once she'd left. It was still in the wrapper.

She left me for Dalston....

The Hedgehog

I was walking up my street on my way home from work when I kicked something hard on the pavement. THUD.

I looked down and thought it was a football (who'd left one in the middle of the pavement?), only to realise that upon further inspection it was a rather plump hedgehog. I can't recall seeing one before, certainly not one in the wild.

The hedgehog, curled up into its ball, stayed still for a while. Bending down to inspect it closer in the darkness, my bag made a shuffling noise and the hedgehog stirred; I watched it mesmerised for a while; praying that I hadn't hurt it and simultaneously wishing I had my camera. A minute later, it scuttled further down the street into the light of a street lamp where I had opportunity to study it further.

What a beautiful and extraordinary creature. It looked just like the ones I'd seen in cartoons and books, on TV and immortalised in porcelain or wool. Except, this one was all the more special because it was real and right in front of me and I had walked into it (I'm so sorry).

Spending a little more time with it, I then raced inside and got my camera, raced back outside, went back to the spot. It had vanished.

Remember, remember the 5th of November

..to everyone that made it on saturday to the opening to my current exhibition which was largely a presentation of my explorations into the physicality of the photograph, if you would like more info about the work, do give me a shout.

It was also Halloween so there were some ghoulish characters around...





Thanks also to Danger Dylan (Hervais-Adelman) for curating and putting it together... and to Rolan Daks for the AMAZING food via his pop-up restaurant. Also to The Breaktime Jazz Quartet for their beautiful music.

The exhibition's on for a few weeks to do still come down if you couldn't reach
