The mourning of polaroid

A collective tear was wept at the news that Polaroid would stop producing the instant film that made them so popular (who evens owns a digital Polaroid camera?!?).

So before I left the States, I bought up a load of packs of film at Walgreens and B&H...for like $10 for a 10 pack (!) ... BUT the other day when I was 3 pics into my 10 pack I clicked the shutter and...nothing...the battery went flat!

I had two options. Open the pack ruin the film and put a new one in or save it and open it in a protective dark room and use them with my brownie box cam. I desparately tried for the latter, but unfortunately light got in and I had 7 undeveloped exposed slides.

I decided to mess around a wee bit and mashed the emulsion in a bunch to make shapes and pictures. Unfortunately it turned out pretty shit. So I did illustrations on them.

The End. Enjoy.

Katy Perry Sucks

I normally don't like saying negative things about people, I just like spreading the love really...but I just read a SPOT ON review of that silly girl Katie Perry's latest album.

"Despite the deceptively 'edgy'title, this albums message is clear: playing a lesbian is ok to get a guy but gender stereotypes are not to be fucked with. - and that means real guys can't possibly be gay. In short, the backlash against feminism now has a soundtrack - and its using effeminate men as its flogging whip.
Two of the most offensive tracks are annoyingly the catchiest, and as such are singles. Case A is a chart topping 'I kissed a girl'. Perry's bar-sexual ode does nothing to validate homosexual experimentation, but is merely an affirmation of her heterosexuality, "just to try it, hope my boyfriend don't mind it". Girls are 'magical' but not fuckable. She kissed a girl and liked it because it gave her man a hard on.
Case B is the emo-bashing 'Ur So Gay'. That's gay as in synonymous with being skinny, wearing eye make up and having a small penis, the remedy for which is to hang yourself with an H&M scarf. The ideal of manly men and girly girls is pushed in a watered down version throughout, negated by tragic puns (see "you're not a man, you're a mannequin"). These antiquated ideals are all set to a backdrop of recycles Kelly Clarkson demos and Avril Lavigne off-cuts. Never mind boycotting mayonnaise, take Katy Perry off your shopping list."

- Bob Henderson

Here is a much better version - Thanks Max!

I am loving me some Gareth Pugh at the moment. His features in I-D and Pop this issue are excellent and one dress sticks in my mind ... safety pin heaven.

GEM GEMS stars in ONE

Did a photo shoot today in Edinburgh for ONE Magazine (www.IamONE.co.uk). My photographer friend Gemma came to model for me and we had such a laugh. The brief was re-creating a look from the 60s and I knew Gemma would be perfect at her hair, make up and clothes...leaving it up to her...how right I was! She looked AMAZING!

I will upload some proper photos from the day later...for now - the polaroids!

For the love of Luke Worrell

He may be a whipper snapper of 18 years old, but this kid has style. He's already graced the pages of Vogue, ID, Dazed and Confused, Pop and done ads for Marc Jacobs, Topman and Vivienne Westwood. Le male de Agyness Deyn?!

Prague Writers' Festival

Nothing more than spectacular. Not only was the city hot, beautiful and inspiring but I was able to see it all being paid as a photographer. This years Festival has based on the 40 years since the Prague Spring of 1968, with speakers like Petr Kral, Natalia Gorbanevskaya, Paul Auster, Margaret Atwood and Günter Kunert.

Here are some of my pics!
