self-portraits in w4

in a workshop in w4 last week, standing in front of a beautiful piece of

bespoke furniture i decided the time was right for a self-portrait...

after being let down on the assisting front, plus being conkers deep in sawdust

i found no difficulty in striking a miserable pose.

i was caught bang to rights though. the workshop paparazzi 

grabbed a sneaky frame of me striking a pose

hmmm...

i thought it only fair to then invite the paparazzi and the craftsmen to join me

for a team shot

there was some outstanding work going on in this workshop in w4

( and by that, i don't mean my photography )

the two wood-making blokes... would they be carpenters ? what's the word ?

anyway, they had made some fantastic pieces. pieces designed by a top

bloke... no tweed involved, which i thought was a shame, but some beautiful

oak, maybe the odd bit of perspex and my favourite thing of all...

some orange painted bits !

you know i love orange right ?

and you know i love wood right ?

well what do you think i did while i was there ?
there's a clue in this photo.
