#SUE: catching up with my great mate before the @avamusic gig, talking consultancy life, theatre gossip and the perfection of the #Ocakbaşı grill when you’re starving. #hackney #friends #turkishfood #winning
AVA | Tuesday, December 10, 2019
#AVA: a fairly triumphant gig from @avawavesmusic proving that one of their biggest problems is conveying their energy in their imagery. Astonishing response from the crowd. Love the MOTH club, new favourite tiny venue, beautiful music and snagging a table too. #avamusic #gig #london #hackney
GEORGELIGHTYEAR | Tuesday, December 10, 2019
#GEORGELIGHTYEAR: for his birthday, I wanted to dig out an old picture to do the comparison, but there’s just too many pictures to choose from. While everyone knows that George is a total sweetheart, I think his alien superpower is being able to make you feel like you’re the centre of attention when you’re talking to him. Happy Birthday and keep on rockin @georgelightyear. #rockstar #mensch
LEAKESTREET | Monday, December 9, 2019
#LEAKESTREET: 1. the weekend it opened, the Leake Street Tunnel was a powerhouse of cultural critique and art. It has since become little more than an etch-a-sketch for graffiti, with each new piece covering the last, but let us look back at the weekend of May 3-5 2008. #maythefourthbewithyou #banksy #streetart #london #leakestreettunnel #citylab
LEICAQ2 | Sunday, December 8, 2019
#LEICAQ2: goodbye M9, hello Q2. The first month shows that this is the closest possible modern-day equivalent to my beloved #ContaxG2, the fixed lens is unimpeachable, it is whisper-quiet and 47.3MP means huge flexibility in cropping. Perfect EDC camera as it’s pretty weather-sealed. And wifi pictures straight to my phone. Amazing. The #Canon1DX is up for sale too now :) Another ten years for this beast… #leica #mirrorless #rangefinder #summilux
AKINDOFPEOPLE | Friday, December 6, 2019
#AKINDOFPEOPLE: this could be really good, worth catching for the interesting takes on race in 2019, let down by 1-dimensional characters. That said, sophisticated story meets hopelessly unsophisticated people is arguably the story of the referendum. Definitely worth going to see. #theatre #londontheatre #gurpreetkaurbhatti
DUCHESSOFMALFI | Thursday, December 5, 2019
#DUCHESSOFMALFI: hmmmm. It’s starting to look like #SummerAndSmoke was a complete fluke for #RebeccaFrecknall after the insipid #ThreeSisters (which had absolutely everything going for it) and now this. It’s not bad but not good enough either. Production very good, as usual, though. Needs editing, better changes of pace and a bit more drama, I think. I’m hoping it’ll all get sorted during these previews because I am rooting for the new AD of the @almeida_theatre and plan on seeing all her shows. 🤞🏽 #theatre #londontheatre
LEICAM9 | Thursday, December 5, 2019
#LEICAM9: goodbye to this one, just over ten years, and 16300 pictures later. Not a huge amount of use, but a constant companion. Travels across North America, Europe, Asia and Oz, and a little trip on a #Gaza boat led to eight months in Israeli captivity, but she’s off to a new home now and hopefully a lot more use. #leica #m9 #leicacamera
