Yesterday five BRAND NEW photographs left Scarborough in the back of a rent-a-van. They were so new the camera didn’t know they’d been taken yet.

There have been some pretty strange going ons lately at Photogirl HQ. One day a witch on a Harley turns up at the studio and the next – 22 matresses and a pea the size of a car (or was that three mattresses, a petis pois and some clever post production?) Well however it happened, it certainly did happen and the fruits of all this labour will be seen for the first time Monday onwards. There’s a lot of new exhibitions coming up so please check back over the next few days for a full list of where you can see my new work.

I don’t always blog the after-event but it just felt right to do so on this particular occasion. More as Thankyou to the people at Calendar who made my little TV appearance all the more fun.

To show my gratitude I thought I’d post a photograph I took of Calendar’s presenters Gaynor and Duncan who, I have to say, were surprisingly chilled out before the show ;)

Here is a link to the tv clip itself.

A couple of weeks back (Mother’s Day to be precise) I had the opportunity of spending a couple of hours in the company of The Circus of Horrors before their Fantastic show in Bridlington. While My Mum got herself a cuppa and waited for the show in a well lit area (well it was Mother’s Day after all and it was certainly more inspiring than the usual box of chocolates!) I headed out along some dark, dark corridors into some dark, dark dressing rooms to find Dr Haze; the host and carnival master, and the rest of the inmates at St.Remy’s Asylum for the Criminally Insane. Luckily for me I managed to escape a few hours later with an appropriately gruesome batch of photographs.

Despite being my third visit, this modern day Freakshow still amazed and entertained me with it’s mixture of Music and intrigue, humour and gore – and god bless, even my Mum liked it.

I’ll be putting my favourite images up on my website so keep your eyes peeled…your tongues forked and your limbs in places they really shouldn’t go…

If you have already plumped the cushions, dimmed the lights and made a brew then please take note…

Due to the announcements of the axed programming, job losses and closing down of the Leeds TV Centre, tonight’s interview on Calendar has been postponed – but I have been told that they will reschedule me as soon as I return from the USA :)

Right I’m off to finish packing. Don’t all the girls skate around Venice Beach with only a bikini on? Right I’ve packed the skates… and my bikini.. (I’m sure it will feel *exactly* the same even if it is worn under jeans and a nice warm jumper..)

…They are both filmed in LA and that is where I will be going on Thursday! Yes folks I have been commissioned to work on a film set in Downtown LA where I will be taking the film stills for a film short (which is set to become a major blockbuster film trilogy!)

My Blog is a bit like a bus… there is nothing for ages and then two come along at once! Well it’s been an exciting week all in all. LA is finally booked and I am almost packed and ready. Now there is only one thing left to cram into my busy schedule and that’s a live interview on Calendar news tomorrow night! Wish me luck and be sure to tune in at six o’clock ..

If you had spotted me then well observed for I am indeed the latest person to adourn the sides of St Helen’s farm’s Goat Milk products. I use Goats milk rather than Cow’s as it really helps my breathing. I used to cough all the time and never knew why untill I changed to Goats.. for the full story check out the milk cartons in Sainsbry and Tesco!

After reviewing the new E3 for Digital Photo Pro magazine – Olympus called me up to ask if I would be interested in a sponsorship deal. For those who are unsure, this basically means that Olympus throw me a load of free kit and I er..just use it!

I recently had my first commision in Nice! An old friend of mine from York moved there about 8 years ago and this is the first time I have seen him since. He is now entertainments manager at a bar called Waynes and he hired me to photograph the Festival de Musique; a one day event that takes place all over France. Obvoiusly I was only photographing the bands at Wayne’s, not every band all over France (I’m not Superwoman)
