Christmas 2012 gift guide for photographers

Posted in: Photography|9 Comments

So, how are your holiday preparations going? If they’re anything there’s plenty of good intentions but not a lot going on in the action department. The majority of my efforts have ended in me finding lots of stuff I’d like for myself and nothing for anyone else – whoops!

Anyway, here are some ideas for the photographer in your life – if that photographer is you, then all the better :)

What’s on your Santa list? I’d love to know (I have a feeling I’m on the naughty list this year)…

Happy holidays!

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

Posted in: Design, Inspiration|No Comments

I went to the cinema last night to see Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy which I loved a lot!

It’s basically a spy film but the opposite of a James Bond film – there’s no glamour, the colour is washed out and beige, there are no fancy gadgets or fast cars. There’s admin and intrigue and so much atmosphere… it’s hard to put into words, it just felt very real and very revealing about the cold-war, 1970s society and humanity as a whole.

Like I say – loved it and now want to read everything John le Carré has ever written!
