Mid Night

Brilliant still life shoot in Love magazine this month, shot by David Hughes. 
 





 
 Captures a certain time of the night pretty aptly - my real life version has far less expensive accessories unfortunately.

Pop

I saw the Richard Hamilton exhibition at the Tate today, where his 1962 painting (for snappy title see below) seemed  particularly relevant given the current trends in both men's and womanswear - and not least because London's fashion darlings were seated in the turbine hall below watching Topshop's show for Fashion Week.
'Towards a definitive statement on the coming trends in menswear and accessories'
Richard Hamilton, 1962

Warhol, Lynch & Burroughs

The pictures of Andy Warhol, David Lynch and William S Burroughs are currently on show at The Photographer's Gallery in Oxford Circus. Not primarily known for their photography, the 3 capsule exhibitions cast an intimate and thought provoking light on the period from which each artist worked.

People in the Street, 1976

Warhol's photographs clearly refrence his fascination with advertising which we know so well from his painting and prints. His pictures are lively, full of energy and interestingly, people. 
David Lynch's photographs were unsurprisingly cinematic, dramatic and ominous

Some favourites of mine from Burroughs are too difficult to find pictures of, but involve roses being shoved in to coca cola bottles - a favourite practice of mine during my kooky university phase...
Probably London, 1972
