everyone is a photographer...




section 44 protest alongside the thames (hold your fucking banner up properly you hippies!) - also detail of a light from the shittiest ugliest shittest building in london 'sea containers house' which I secretly quite admire - it's really eighties bleak, but I love the lights - - - - also stumbled across a genuinely baffling rankin exhibition underneath the oxo tower of BT 'young entrepeneurs' portraits that were so spectacularly shit that he must have sleep walked through the entire project with one eye squinting open sporadically on the vast unimaginable mountain of cash that they had to have paid him to go anywhere near such a turkey, and that's not me being tight! honestly, trot long and see for yourself if you don't believe me -

the red lion





met up with josh who was telling us about actual proper photo-shoots that he has been doing - must be nice! top ale fun in the red lion - keef looked like damian hirst - my sunspel pants arrived by royal mail - the gentleman's choice - observed giant wisdom teeth hassling commuters at stockers tube -

back to the tate





schlepped back to the tate to catch the very last day of pop life show - mainly to look at the nazi room again and try and guess who all the actors are in the pictures -

Die Nazis!






proper nazi-fest at the tate modern courtesy of piotr uklanski's room at the pop life show - bought excellent book about throbbing gristle 'wreckers of civilisation' - still find it bizarre that pete christopherson aka 'sleazy' from the band directed the blue merc vid 'love is the gun' way back in 1987 -
