I’ve followed Ethan Ash since his early teens. The man has a remarkable voice, excellent guitar chops and a turn of phrase that makes for great hooks. Here he played a lunchtime gig in the Mumford Theatre in Anglia Ruskin Uni in Cambridge and did an excellent set, mainly drawn from his recently released album.
Cambridgeshire Youth Ballet Company with Stageworks put on a wonderful performance of Alice in Wonderland this past weekend.
I shot still photographs of the ballet (both Alices). I bundle all the photographs and burn them onto a DVD. PLEASE NOTE – These discs are data discs and not designed to play as a slideshow through a DVD player, but are for use on a computer. For Alice in Wonderland, the disc contains 422 jpg images. These are full size, high resolution images that can be printed onto photographic paper, blown up as large prints for framed pictures or canvases, or used for keyrings, mugs, etc.
If that is what you are looking for, I am happy to prepare a disc for you at £20.
Please note that I was not involved in the recording or preparation of a video recording of the ballet. Stageworks made this recording and if it is a video of the performance you are looking for, you should contact Stageworks directly.
This was a great show at Dingwalls in Camden. I’ve seen Jesse Malin probably a dozen times stretching back to his earliest solo gigs (I first saw him in a gym hall in Omaha Nebraska when he was touring his first solo record). He always brings his A game, and this gig was no different. What was different was that a bunch of the crowd had turned up to hear the mainly old punk guests that performed with Jesse’s band in the second half of the show. It got a bit rowdy and a quite active moss-pit. This gig was in aid of the Joe Strummer Foundation.
I had lots of fun shoot promo shots for The Great Flud, a band based in London with members from the US, France, London. Their first single is coming out in the next couple of weeks, and I’ve heard it, and it’s brilliant. We shot this in natural light by a building site.
So last night I updated my computer to the latest operating system “Mojave” and therefore another desert image seemed appropriate.
Sunset at Wahiba Sands desert in Oman. Half an hour before sunset there was no wind and bright sunshine. At sunset, the wind picked up and the sands on the desert floor swirled around our feet. It was not the sunset I was hoping for, but I am happy with this shot that sort of reminds me of a picture my parents have on their wall of elephants in Africa. The colours are similarly muted. It may be the shape of the trees. Anyway, here it is. I hope you like it. Pictures of camels and sand dunes may follow.
This weekend we spent a day on the Gower in South Wales. This is Worm’s Head in Rhossili. It can be reached when the tide is out along a quite “awkward to walk over” causeway.
After the bustling streets of St Ives, a sunset trip to Cape Cornwall is a beautifully peaceful fillip. One of my favourite places in Cornwall it is wonderful place to watch the sun go down sitting on the rocks and thinking about the past and the future.
Another great show with some brilliant performers. Well done Stageworks!
