She wants what she can't have...



Another one of London's outdoor festivals livened up the streets of Shoreditch last Sunday, and I was lucky enough to be there.The bill was appealingly broad with the likes of Kasai Masai and Molotov Jukebox. Anyone who knows me can tell you that the London transport system and I do not mix, so getting to this little gig under a bridge in torential rain was nothing short of a mission.

The highlight for me was seeing Molotov Jukebox, I had been waiting for God knows how long to see these guys and I was not disappointed. The intrepid music lover in me was blasted with the catchy I Need it as the opening number, followed by loads of my favourites.Double dare which was far better live than I could have imagined. I danced with my sex foot,(Anyone who has seen them will know what I mean) I clapped and sang along.  I was left wanting more when the set came to an end.  I cannot wait to see these guys again.

Aesthetic Intoxication

I have finally found the time to post some new pictures. My friends and I recently ventured to Birmingham for a Birthday/BBQ extravaganza. The resulting pictures from said night were taken using my beloved Polaroid Land Camera. In hindsight alcohol and analogue photography do not mix. Do keep a look out on here for the negative lifts I have been doing recently.In the meantime here are a few highlights from the night.

Sunshine, Polaroids and Bunting

Some of my favourite polaroids taken with the lovely Stefanie Valentine. There was lots of sunshine, bunting and arduous trekking.

There were looads of lovely old photographs crying out to be taken home at the vintage fair on Saturday. In the end I selected these little treasures...

The second one down is of particular interest to me because, the woman sat third to the right in my opinion has an uncanny resemblance to a good friend of mine, who goes by the name of Lauren Hughes. If you look closely and compare photos they have a similar grin and nose.Lauren if you have cracked the mystery of time travel you could have at least taken us along for the ride!
