The portfolio section will be down for a minute or 2, while I revamp.

It does not quite work the way I want it to...so in a minute...

Be well.

...when you dig deep.

Mos Def & Futura.
Stash's show @ Elms Lesters
April 2004

That was a good show, great turn out & excellent work.

Be well.

Did some portraits of Hardy B for Streetwear Today.

I liked them in sequence so much that I did a little time delay in Moving Pictures.

Check it out.

Be well

Shed 9.40am Saturday...1st of the day : )

Pulled 'TALKING BOOK' off the shelf today, laid that platter down, needle to the record & listened to Stevie's words of wisdom.

My song of choice, was extremely relevant at the time of conception (1972). Social, Racial tensions were high, but none the less there was a feeling of a certain optimism hidden away in the corner, you just had to find it & believe in what little you found. But the words in this song still hold true today & never more so than this minute here in the UK, with the Govt trying to pass this new law regarding photography in public places & the need for photographers to have licence's, I.D.Cards to be allowed to work their trade.

And as I have said before, where are the Govt's Licence for the 1000's of CCTV camera's all over the UK filiming, documenting not only us, but the very people they do not want photographers to photograph. But it is all for our protection...where was it when Mum got mugged outside my front door for her watch, or the neighbour being mugged & having her pedigree Mastif Bitch stolen...so much for your roving eye there.

Ironic huh ?

& then there is my now old friend Mr Bush...lord knows & 'hate' is a strong word, but I hate everything about you. I will rest a little easy when you are out of office...perhaps the small waves being made in Vermont, where they have called for impeachment (in 36 districts & growing), may spread across the country...

Back to Stevie's lyrics...

BIG BROTHER

Your name is big brother
You say that your watching me on the tele,
Seeing me go nowhere,
Your name is big brother,
You say you are tired of protesting,
Children dying everyday,
My name is nobody
But I can't wait to see your face inside my door.

Your name is big brother
You say that you got me all in your notebook,
Writing it down everyday,
Your name is i'll see ya,
I'll change if you vote me in as the pres,
The president of your soul
I live in the ghetto
You just come to visit me 'round election time.

I live in the ghetto,
Someday I will move on my feet to the otherside,
My name is secluded,
We live in a house the size of a match box,
Roaches live with us wall to wall.

You've killed all our leaders,
I don't even have to do nothin' to you,
You'll cause your own country to fall.

Thank you Mr Wonder.

Be well.

It seems we, according to WGSN, we have power.

But don't go changing, keep the opions free flowing, because my friends that's what counts...our opinion.

The very fact that we have one is what is enticing.

Thanks to Ms Jones for sending that through to me...waiting to read the whole feature, want to know the main title.

Be well & yeah, keep it real.

So had a good day.

Did the pics of Hardy B for STREETWEAR Today.

This is a very, very small taste...hey the client gets 1st dibs right...so I am sneaking these under the wire.

More will come when it is all ok'ed.

Be well.

What a night....we got kicked out of the Champions League (but we are still undefeated at home)

Had a blazer with the folks...& rapped it up with a pow wow with the boss.

The day was so good...just ended shit.

Well you can not win them all.

Be well & have a good day.

Yes just catching up now, meant to post this on the weekend, but better late than never right.

So went to a house party this last Friday night…people I know moving out from The Bush & heading over East Sides…seems to be the natural migration of the masses in London.

Anyway, you know when you walk into a place & you need to do some serious catching up, to be at the same height that the party is at…you know what I mean.

It was an excellent party regardless of where you were at the height of things.

Damn even the Environmental Health people showed up to tell them to turn that music down, the DB’s were way over what was bearable.

Nice.

I am home at last, & may I say it is good to be back.

As you can see the so called buliders have been in & created a nice space for me to return to. It seems an eon since I let a rant slip in my own domain, free of worry. Back to the land of 'I am a grown as man dog, I can say what the fuck I like'. Opinion still count for something here, all be it my own ha ha hah.

But yes...more madness to follow.

Enjoy the site, let me know of any problems with the navigation & general feel of this new site.
We are still tweaking here & there...but this is pretty much it.

You can see all my Fatsarazzi Moving Pictures here, with out all the pixelation created on YouTube, but I still love you YouTube.
But be patient, as some of them are pretty big files...well big-ish

& finally let me say thank you to my pied de terre's on line (slam - hypebeast - theschemes)...nothing will change, except perhaps the venom, shall reside here.

Be well & thanks for coming back.
