13 Apr 09 The Tempest

I didn't write anything about going to see "The Tempest" in Leeds last weekend. Short version: I enjoyed it. Long version if you click on "more"

2 Apr 09 David Hockney, a naive artist

Last week David Hockney, an art establishment figure in Britain, kicked up a stink in the Guardian about the felling of some beech trees. I must admit being quite incensed when I read it - since Hockney not just paints in a naive style, but seems to think in it too

28 Mar 09 "The Damned United"

Just go back from seeing The Damned United about Brian Clough's 44 days at Leeds United, the latest drama based on recent history with a screenplay by Peter Morgan and Michael Sheen in a leading role. (The others have been Frost/Nixon, The Queen, The Deal.) [more...]

25 Mar 09 Begging

There was a thread on IC about begging, and whether it's just saying "please" lots of times. I've copied my reply here so it doesn't just sink into the archives. [more...]

25 Mar 09 Spring in Bridgewood

The weather was lovely at the weekend, with sun all day and quite warm at lunchtime. I took this picture showing the Glade starting to come to life, with the ground that was trampled during felling and clearing now turning green again. The contrast with the view from January is striking. [more...]

I was in Manchester city centre at lunch time today, and I managed to take some pictures in the sunshine and see the "Reality Hack" exhibition of Andrew Brooks' photographs of the city at Urbis. [more...]

17 Mar 09 Bronson the prisoner, in Bronson the film

I went to see Bronson last night and was very impressed, especially by Tom Hardy in the title role. Despite the nay-sayers, it doesn't glamorise Bronson. The image of Most Violent Prisoner is mesmerising in the way Hardy portrays it, but the reality that's also shown is, as one governor says, just ridiculous.

10 Mar 09 Open Air shoot on TrainingofO.com

Last month I posted about Kink.com's imminent The Upper Floor. I was a member of their Training of O site for a bit last year, and I've rejoined to have another look around inside. In particular, they have an Open Air BDSM shoot with two girls, and I've included some of the promotional images in this post. [more...]

5 Mar 09 The Green Wood Centre

I went to The Green Wood Centre in Ironbridge at the weekend, partly to see what it's like and partly for the Small Woods Association meeting being held there. It was quite an eye-opener. [more...]
