Landscape symmetry.

There's something very beautiful about pairs. And a certain, bonded fragility that only comes from being one of two. If something's solitary and it dies, there's nothing to miss it. Likewise, if there's three or more then there'll still be at least two left. Oh, this is all getting rather confusing.

Caress. (homoerotic horses)

These horses are both boys, but the lack of girl attention has obviously driven them close.

Light's for playing in.

Halo (chemical ears).

Sometimes old broken cameras are just too kind. They make things happen you could simply never dream of.
Like these chemical ears in the sky...

This was supposed to be about horses.

An antique future.

Having a clear out.

Selling some things. First up £70. Acrylic and Polaroids on canvas with a clear varnish.

More coming soon. Leave a comment if you're interested. Haggling welcomed. Hags welcome.

Not enough nonsense.

She fell down the rabbit hole and we all fell with her. But there the trip ended.

What should have been a delightful few hours of nonsense-filled psychadelica instead turned into a blobby parade of nothingness. All so very dull. And all so very unnecessary.

Your favourite Polaroid?

Blur magazine are the media sponsor of the Impossible Project. Recently they ran a Polaroid contest. Sadly, the witless judges didn't pick one of mine as a finalist but you can see their selection of 30 here

I wouldn't want to bias your voting, but I will anyway. Here's my favourite.

What I found incredibly disappointing is the massive bias in favour of integral shots, with mainly SX70 film predominating. Alright it's a beautiful film, and some of the photos are okay too, but there was no representation from some of Polaroid's historic classic films. Where was the 665? Where was the 669? Where was 59? Not even any of the recent beautiful chocos.

I presume this is a nod at Impossible's future being based around integral materials, but that doesn't mean this type of film fascism is particularly pleasant. It also doesn't give a very balanced view of Polaroid's broad brush. More it confines and reinforces the public's knowledge that Polaroids all look one shape and have a big white border.

Anyway. It doesn't matter. It's only a competition. But do run along and vote, won't you.

Missing the old ways.

So.

I've moved and never again can the cats sit in front of this window. Shame. But I hope they'll be plenty of other windows to nest in front of. The new house is not as picturesque as the last one so I doubt it will show up much here. Maybe when i leave it.

The future's black and white. So here's to the future.
