so pleased for gabi, ecuador world junior surf comp.

If you have read this blog for a while you will know that I am involved with surf and surfing. today I spent one of the most stressful 20 mins for a while watching the scores coming through from the world junior surfing championships. gabi rowe a surfer local to me (SE Cornwall) and the daughter of friends of mine is competing in the girls under 18 in the surf in ecuador. sitting amongst her friends and her mum we waited for her first round heat to finish. great news for gabi was that she made in through the first round for team GB.

time for fashion

goodness me, I have be away from blog land for much longer than I ever have, seems my days are filled with meeting and planning then some driving followed by the same.

though this time last week was the full dress rehearsal of the fashion experience. something that had been in the planning for some 6 or more months. for 26 minutes the following night the show for real time pretty much stopped for a moment. a great result a great show and I am really happy to have been part of it. things could have been improved but given the spend we had and the venue has to be said it was up there. so to bigger and better or perhaps the same size and better.

earlier in the week I was lucky enough to send some time at twofour productions. what a great place, especially for he SW (UK). if for nothing else the way the staff seem to be, happy, industrious friendly and seemly open great to see a creative industry company producing work that they are proud of an want to talk about. rather than hie it away in case you steal their ideas as some sector professional have been in years passed. have to say they certainly appeared to me to be a great company to work for, (and no I am not trying to get a job their the meeting was for a different reason).

busy

I know we all think we are busy I am no different. just got back home in cornwall from a meeting in bristol, it has been a long day. have to say what little I saw of bristol today was quite inspiring as was a small section of the meeting today which was a surprise.

I realise now that for so many reasons I should perhaps have gone by train but I never really considered it as I am so used to driving everywhere these days.

wish I had this!

I have been around and about and sorry I have been more quiet that of late.

as usual trying to do more than sensible so I have reined in again this week mainly because I seem to have a bit of 'man flu' currently and am at home today. (thanks for the link beachUUbum)

that said I am still am managing to get involved with stuff and organise things without the

usual distractions from here. but have had to give up any thought of going to today's lecture/evening at university. a disappointment but still better in the long run. will be back fit and well tomorrow hopefully no doubt for a long day/evening, so I am looking for some of the below.

tilt shift photos

I was just having a look through fellow (IMP) MA students stuff and found some tilt shift stuff on one blog from simon thorpe. I thought I would have a go it is good fun for a short time then the novelty seems to where a litle as the subject photo as to be so right to start any way thought I would put a couple of my photos here. it really does make real objects look like models. (not really sure why this is good but it is fun)

do lectures *brilliant*

I just couldn't resist posting this. I like it for so many reasons; too many to list here.

The link on the right takes you to the web site for the dolectures, this film is just well worth watching.

I plan to be there this year.

london

I have to say I don't get to london as much as I used to part through choice part through opportunity, but the last few times I have been u there I have really enjoyed it. almost gone are those days of slogging away in the middle of the big machine that I seemed to be part of years ago. 

instead a walk through acton to chiswick last sunday made me feel happy. I saw the leftover snow as well as plenty of sunshine and these decorations blowing in the light breeze and had to put them here. london is not that bad after all.

had to join the masses and post

I know this is not really the place but I had to join in and post something snow related. I am not even going to begin to describe the day I have and am still having! but it started with the picture above this was before the snow really came.
