My little Utopia, my kingdom

On the top floor of my house in Scotland is a little room -an aspiring artists studio - though not quite big enough to be so.

A little safe haven for all those brushes, oils, paper, cameras, pens, pencils, dried flowers, rags and of course canvuses.



I thought I'd get some shots of my little Utopia - gorgeous colours and textures.

I only wish there was a bigger window. What is better than natural light?

Is there such a thing as a male muse?

Will Rendle (of Will and the People)
... I worked ITCHY FEET earlier this week; Canon 550D, Flashgun, Lightscope and Wide angle lense.


I don't know what to say... Is there such a thing as a male muse? In the sense of an abstract concept of inspiration. I can't get enough of this band. Their sound is something else and astheticaly they're a photographers dream. So much charicter, so much charisma.

I HAVE to work with them. My fingers are twitching to get my camera out on them.


I've messaged will.

Heres hoping


Cockpit

This was shot on my first visit to Leed's Cockpit.
It's pretty fucking great in there.
Sebastian de Zulueta and I went to see White Belt Yellow Tag.
Christ is there anything better than loud live music?
