Tumbling Monkey

OK, that's it, I'm off to Tumblr. Catch me at:

This blog stays right where it is though. For historical purposes.

The Sartorialist

Guess what I got for Christmas?



And I have to say, I enjoyed reading it. He takes a great photo and he has a great sense of style. And he tells a good story. He seems to get to know some of his subjects really well and chats to most of them. My style of photography is slightly different as it involves imagining who the person could be. And I'd never dare speak to them as it would break the spell. Like this guy...




One other thing, Mr Sartorialist has lots of opportunities to swan around some of the world's most glamorous cities. Me, I'm stuck in Oxford. I need to get to London with my camera. Then who knows? My first book?

Where have I been?

Not to Morecambe. They went and they didn't take me. I have been doing some serious sulking. Luckily they took some photos. Next time...DON'T FORGET THE MONKEY!!

Maybe it's a good job I didn't go.



This is Eric Morecambe, Wayne* does not have a statue here yet.



* That's Wayne Hemingway, my favourite designer. Born in Morecambe.

Check out this classic Morecambe and Wise sketch.
