textural backgrounds...

went hunting the other day...

around the bristol docks...

for walls and boats...

with interesting colours and textures...

found some...

but most were in a locked yard...

which might prove tricky...

the weather is crazy...

the other day their was lots of fog resting over the river...

i thought the opportunity shouldn't be missed...

even if my only tool was a little digital...

the colours have been retouched but only a little...

it was a good day...

so colour seemed in abundance...

an outfit i am most excited about...

its for my next shoot...

think william egglestons' colour emphasis...

with j w andersons' patchwork styling...

and meisels' pattern exploration for vogue...

which has culminated in a future hippy festival vibe...

secretly this was all engineered so i could legitimately...

shoot my bestival t...

i love the houses in amsterdam central...

all the flats around the 4 canals...

are so tall and thin...

my friends new house is brilliant...

with these floor to ceiling windows...

and a cellar complete with a safe...

its a pretty scary safe actually...

but apparently its broken so you can't get locked in...

the dam...

was oh so cold with snow blizzards...

and a hor frost...

but the canals and food were brilliant...

welcome to lumberton...

finished pages for TANK magazine...

well if they wanted it...

velvet is now in all the shops and mags...

obviously ahead of the curve...
