Kitsch Big Eye Prints

I have a growing collection of 60's Dallas Simpson, D. Golding, Audrey and other kitsch prints. I rarely ever see them, so when I do I have to snap them up (while hyperventilating). They remind me of when I was young and despite their sad faces they make me smile.

I spotted this one in a shop off Carnaby Street, London. Sadly, she was not for sale so I am currently hunting for one on eBay.

And here are a couple of beauties found on Flickr.

I hope everyone has a great weekend, I will be watching Glastonbury Festival from the safety of my dry armchair. And who knows, I may even open a bottle of wine.

iPhone Life

I have just uploaded the 200th photograph to my iPhone Life set on Flickr. Fanfare! Here are just a few of my favourites.

Dinner with the Ambassador

This is the first time I have ever blogged about my job. Sorry to be boring!

On Thursday evening I had dinner with the British Ambassador of Ireland at Glencairn (at his residence in Dublin). The food was fabulous and so were the surroundings. It was an honour to be there.

I brought my menu and place card home with me, who wouldn't? And before you ask, there were no Ferrero Rocher on the menu.

My Little Pony

My sister and Peter came over last night with a massive amount of pizza. Just to note; I now have a fridge full of cold pizza if anyone would like to come over.

Anyway, my sister gave me this vintage pony who came from LA and has been sitting on her colleague's desk for weeks. Thank you Rebecca for letting me have him!

The little pony inspired me to start a new set of images called Kitsch Pets. I think he looks rather dapper framed, even if I do say so myself!

I will leave you with the other prints in the collection. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.

Photography with Friends

Last Sunday I went out with my camera and some fellow Oxford Flickr-ers. We walked miles, but there were plenty of hot chocolate, cake and pub stops. Oxford is a great city to photograph, and it is fun to see how others view it.

Here are my results.

I was given the challenge of capturing a bike, a window and something grey. I think I just about managed it - although by grey Peter obviously meant pink.

The day ended with pie and chips at The Victoria, Walton Street and one (or two) glasses of rose.
