I saw this beautiful girl on Backyard Bill

and remembered that she was also on the Selby with this great array of shoes on painted white floors.

This shot has been living in my “white floors” image folder, which sits between my “black floors” folder and my “natural floors” folder. Which will win??? Today white is in front by a whisker…

Sex at Maggs

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

Really enjoyed seeing these William English photographs exhibited at Maggs last week. William took several photographs of Vivienne Westwood in the Sex shop in early 1975 when he was a budding film student, eager to get into a London school. The idea backfired when he produced the portfolio, as the entrance examiners assumed he was only interested in making pornography.

Mr G interviewed William last week.

Lost civilisations, bomb-ravaged Europe, architecture of the imagination. Can’t wait to get my hands on this.
