Months old me, son of my mother and of my father.

ABSENT AND NOW NOT

My mother has had hip replacement surgery so have been down in a broadband free environment in deepest Somerset and I couldn't and can't be arsed to use my iPhone for this or Twitter or anything apart from taking calls from a groaning mater, her friends, The Chez©, the occasional sniff at a job, the tax man and other people I owe money to. It was an interesting time to say the least.
Here are some photographs from a series I'm working on.

Re: Tired Of Life.
At least look at the hilarious but tender-hearted 'to camera' from. Mr. Bain Hogg. It cracks me up so much. A gutsy performance indeed.

Now's your chance to make this essential London book happen.

Finally Tired of London, Tired of Life, a cherished book project that is going to be available soon with your help.
A collaboration between artist Paul Davis and designer Henrietta Molinaro and Jocelyn Bain Hogg, this beautiful triparteid project is being crowd-funded on the emphas.is site.

This is, we feel, the essential London book and an antidote to all things Olympic and Jubilee. 

Please have a look and go buy a copy, or check out the other lovely incentives to help get this wonderful thing out there.

And feel free to blog, facebook and tweet and pass this on to all your friends too.

Many thanks, we all love you.
