Well, as expected, Wife’s Private View was phenomenal – her work stood head and shoulders above that of the others who were exhibiting in the same gallery (although it is fair to say that “Fat Film” – a series of photographs wherein the iconic stars of modern masterpieces, in their most famous poses are replaced [...]

Making an Exhibition of Oneself
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Bryan Robson, Julian Mitchell, Photography, Wife on July 4, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
The first time I remember uttering that phrase was (appropriately enough) on stage. I was in a production of Julian Mitchell’s play “Another Country”, a fictionalised account of the schooldays of the spy, Guy Burgess. In a scene that is pivotal to the play (and mysteriously left out of the execrable film), the schoolboys are [...]
The Circus

Fresh (if that is the word) from “Madame de Sade”, I went (this time en famille) to another theatrical venue: the circus. I used to love the circus when I was little – back in those days when (certainly my own) moral concerns over the ethics of performing animals were a little less convoluted than [...]
First Lesson: Double Irony

Wife has had one of her photographs selected for a massive photographic exhibition, and so has high-tailed it up to Derby where the event takes place for the next six weeks (although she has gone only for three days…). So while she is trading stories of the wrong lens and over-long exposure with fellow exhibitors [...]
Flikr Saves The Day

Wife has been having a fairly torrid time with her photography of late. There have been quite a few highs: her Private View was absolutely brilliant, for a start. These are not just the words of a proud husband (although there is a fair bit of that), but an objective reaction to her work. In [...]
The Lights Go Out in W4

Monday, 28th May 2008 Wife has a photography client poised to come for a session. So, while Wife has managed to sort her end of the bargain (even buying more equipment and stands in NY), I have simply to wire up an external hard drive to the very weedy Mac. I say simply: there is [...]
Wife Wins Out

Friday, 16th November 2007 Wife’s photography is really beginning to take off. Every year, the school calendar has been shot by professional photographers. This year, Wife has done it and the verdict is (unanimously) that hers is the best that they’ve ever had. Now, Wife is a trained and published photographer herself, but it’s a [...]
What Does Magenta Say?
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Photography, Wife on May 5, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Friday, 23rd November 2007 Wife has been designing her photography website and business cards recently. The colour scheme remains a matter of contention and debate, with the undoubted strengths of magenta as a contrast to black, white and grey being a particular subject of discussion. I think Wife is now on Grey, Sage and Papyrus [...]
Eight Bishops and A Cardinal

Saturday, 26th April 2008 No: it’s not the beginning of an elaborate joke, it’s Wife’s latest photographic assignment. She’s been asked to take the official photographs for this year’s Communicants at Westminster Cathedral. It’s going to be fairly hardcore: just twenty minutes to deliver five groups shots, each of them decorated with the above mentioned [...]
