post game portraits







after the final whistle blew on another disappointing game at the emirates...
on my final game of the season at the emirates...

well, what would you expect me to do ?

that's right, i found a nice spot for a self-portrait, framed it, metered it
and then handed over my trusty gf1 to gooner jeff.

1
oh that's outstanding !
standing alone as loads of arsenal fans head home behind me.
what an excellent shot.








2
and again. fair play to gooner jeff, this is a great shot of my favourite subject.
jacket by maharishi, jeans by evisu, bobbito garcia af-1's by nike.








3
later on i went back to gooner jeff's house for a cuppa and he took one more
photo of me in his living room.
as you can see, i was most amused by his interior decorating skills.

what ?


3... it's the magic number






arsenal v chelsea, as i mentioned previously, was my last game of the season
( i'll be in gay paris when norwich come to town )

after the final whistle i posed up for an official portrait with my 
longtime arsenal mates, the two people responsible for me having a 2011 / 2012
season ticket... gooner jeff and danny.
the good, the bad and the ugly ?
the three amigos ?
the three stooges ?
the three wise men ?

take your pick, all i know is they are two of the best mates a bloke could have.

see you next season ?

hmmm...


walrus tribute






i had a few prints done of my photo of the walrus and took them
to the arsenal v chelsea game on saturday.

i taped one to where he had his season ticket
and gave the rest to his friend in seat 230








this photo was taken during the traditional pre-match playing of 
'the wonder of you' over the tannoy
this was the point when the walrus would begin his first song of the day.

he was certainly a character.



we know what you are






arsenal v chelsea on saturday was a pretty dire game.

apart from the pie at half-time, my favourite bits were the songs that
the arsenal fans serenaded chelsea with.

here we see the people's favourite, chelsea captain john terry flat out on the ground
after presumably taking a knock.
i thought it interesting that even though he was on the deck for quite a while,
none of his team mates went over to see if he was ok.

while he was waiting to be treated by the medical staff the arsenal fans
treated him to a couple of choruses of "john terry... we know what you are"

hmmm...

2
me, unable to resist getting myself in the shot even though i'd just done
 a self-portrait... well, you know my theme song right ?

worst album covers







i know this is a cheap post and something similar pops up in 
magazines every so often but i thought i'd show a few here in
honour of my friend chris in toronto, who is somewhat of a collector
of these album covers.
