friday stuff and nonsense

it seems like it's been ages since i talked about my trainers.

today i shunned nike and brought back the three stripes.

i'd forgotten all about these bad boys,

i bought them in new york about 4 years ago

adidas superstar nba editions in black snakeskin with black

suede trim. white patent leather stripes with gold stitching.

nice red and black outsole too, again with gold stitching.

i had an interiors shoot at a restaurant in the west end this 

morning... a vegetarian restaurant !

obviously i was extremely nervous entering such an establishment 

but i settled down quickly when i was offered a coffee

this really hit the spot. double espresso... boom !

oh, here's a bit of my kit by the way. leica m8 with

16-18-21 lens and external viewfinder. also in the

case is a 90mm f2, 35mm f2 and a cable release

i should be getting an m9 any day now... if leica sort

it out.

it was a nice looking restaurant, but i was disturbed by the

whole vegetarian thing. i decided to cheer myself up

by doing a self-portrait...

i think i'm praying for meat here.

and this next shot i'm just trying to show off my watch

just as i was packing up they had a bit of an accident and

dropped the specials menu into the staff soup.

pity they didn't drop some bacon into it too !

i was thinking about heading to the nordic bakery for a

sly coffee, but about two doors away from the shoot was

fernandez and wells, so i skulked in and ordered up what 

was my third strong coffee of the day... it was 11.55am

after this i had the right old "hattie jacques"

perfect.

later on i parked up in whitfield street. 

i looked up at the building opposite my car...

it was some student lodgings for ucl

what's with the bags hanging outside the windows ?

any ideas ?

and finally, i know it's a bit cheap but i found these

pics on the net this week...

good man !

also look at this guy...

he's a genius.

and lastly, you know i'm going to try and do something

similar next time it snows outside whitfield towers...

what a great shot !

have a great weekend everybody.
