Windsor Chairs for World of Interiors at West Wycombe House.
I recently re-photographed talented textile and wallpaper
designer and printer Daniel Heath, five years after shooting
him for World of Interiors. Dan's rockin' a great look these days
and I'm really pleased with the results.

I've got a new shoot going in the July issue of
Living Etc. Styled again by the Uber talented
Harriet Paterson, it looks great
and I'm very pleased with it.
R.I.P.
One of he worlds finest Photo-Journalists Tim Hetherington was killed on Wednesday in Misrata, Libya.
Also killed in the attack was US photographer Chris Hondros. Two more people were injured including
Guy Martin, who is a lecturer at my old college, Falmouth. Critically injured, we can only hope and pray
for a speedy recovery.
Tim Hetherington was Oscar nominated last year for 'Restrepo' a documentary about Afghanistan that he
co-directed and was a contributing photographer at Vanity Fair.
30 Rock. ABSOLUTE GENIUS.
Season 4 is rockin'. But my favourite line is still
“They do that a lot in movies. An Afair to Remember, Sleepless in Seattle, and that remake of An Affair to Remember that I was in, A Blfair to Rememblack.”
Tracy Jordan, season 3, episode 7, 'Senor Macho Solo'
Watching a great documentary about the fantastic Canadian
singer/songwriter Ron Sexsmith on BBC4. Watch it He's ace!
It'll be repeated several times in the near future, no doubt.
I met him once, in an elevator at The Soho grand in NYC and had to tell
him I thought he rocked. A bit stalkerish I know, but who cares.
Ah sunlight in the morning almost forgot what it looked like, so took this to remind me.
Saw Ray LaMontagne in concert last night. Seen him a few times now and he's always disappointed a little, never quite as good as he should be. Not rubbish mind, he can half sing the boy. He was however supported by The Secret Sisters who were great. Beautiful harmonies in Ol' time stylee.
I recently photographed cocktail wizard Tony Conigliaro of 69 Colebrook Row for Livingetc. To find out more go to:

Sounds great. Can't wait to see him at The Barbican in a couple of
weeks time.
Lives up to the Hype. Great performances all round
and beautifully shot. Especially the scene in the park.
love the room where he teaches. It's Portland Place.
love this poster too.
There's going to be a book out soon, published by PowerHouse.
These pictures stand up well against legendary photographers like Walker Evans and
Robert Frank.
Just brilliant. And there are around 100,000 negatives still to be seen.
OK, I know I'm well behind the 8 ball on this one, but I've just discovered these amazing street photographs taken by Vivian Maier. This lady was a full time Nanny who, at every opportunity took to the streets of Chicago and New York documenting the everyday lives of their inhabitants. These pictures were unseen until a young real estate agent John Maloof bought a box of negatives at auction in 2009.
Amazing.
This is one of the best movies I have seen in a very long time. It was released on DVD last week
and is well worth a tenner of anyone's spends.
I did this job for a Swedish paper products manufacturer called Stora Enso, one of the biggest in the world. Four days in various locations around London, in the back of a truck which had been turned into a big white box. We did hundreds of portraits of poor poor unsuspecting passers by. This is the great art director Ildebrando Tosi, who unfortunately is no longer with us. Forza bastardo!
My new shoot in living etc
appears this week.
Brilliantly styled by Harriet Paterson, I'm
really pleased with it. I particularly like
the huge plaster busts.
I'd like one of Sir Ryan Giggs.
The sofa ain't bad either.
