spare photos

as regular readers will know, i have a blog folder on my mac which i slip

photos into and occasionally after a few months, i have some shots

left over which i didn't use but i thought were too good to throw away.

hmmm... perhaps sometimes it's because they're interesting rather than

good, but anyway, as i'm tidying up my affairs before christmas...

here are a few efforts i've got kicking around in my blog folder.

1.

my mexican flag inspired nike dunks.

i think i wore these for the day of the dead and i meant to do a blog post all

about 'el dia de los muertos'... but words are not really my thing, so i didn't.

2.

a photo of la niña when she was little.

i was going to do a 2011 version of this shot a few months ago...

but we ran out of time and la niña headed up north.

3.

a coffee somewhere... i think it was at the farmer's market around the corner

from whitfield towers a few weeks ago. i took a few photos there but they weren't

very interesting... a shot of coffee though, i always find that interesting.

4.

a photo of stel which i took the first day i met her

5.

i pretty much always photograph my footwear on a saturday morning.

it's always good to have one shot in the bag for one of my

"on saturday i..." posts

then again sometimes i think you're getting tired of seeing my kicks so 

i don't publish them.

6.

no idea where this was. i was probably intending to publish this photo with a rant

about how i don't like these glasses and i especially don't like the big long

spoons that go with them... but i spared you.

7.

this was at the riding house cafe... the joint that had the squirrel wall lights.

i think it's a lamp base fashioned from an old gas pipe... or would it be a water

pipe ? who knows ? anyway, i thought it was quite interesting.

8.

i was in a corking cafe near warren street the other day. i asked for a card

but they didn't have any so they just stamped a piece of till roll for me.

i will return to this place soon and do a full blog review. it was a belter.

9.

many things here. you know full well that i like flags right ?

fair play to the septics... they do have one of the best flags going.

i also love the way it's used as a backdrop here. it makes me want to do something

similar with a welsh flag or a union jack.

i like tattoos, though i'm not keen on this blokes ink.

and finally, lana del rey... what can i say ? i only know two of her songs to be

honest but i can't get them out of my head.

i was going to use this grab to talk about her but i figured it was better to just

post her videos.

10.

ha ha ! i put these on the other day to go out... then took them off and 

put them back in the box.

you have to trust me with these... in real life they look b-i-g.

11.

an out-take from the sweatshirt shoot the other week.
this is one of my textbook shots but it didn't quite come off.
i ask the girl to look at me like she's in love with me with all her heart, then i just
 look away or look like i don't care. it's a tried and tested shot and i have
a whole load of these in my collection.
unfortunately here, i think stel doesn't have the look of love in her eyes...
i think she's looking at me with some suspicion...
... good girl !

remember the ropey poached eggs on toast breakfast i had recently ?
well this is the flat white that came with it...

it tasted like dirt.
