Well what can I say about me and my photostream? I guess it’s all about ‘toys’, my life and the world about me...

I enjoy...

 

• Music (I’ll try to share a few live shots)

• Art, Textiles & Fashion (It's my day to day)

• Cars (I’m crazy about Japanese retro & sports cars especially Mazda’s)

• Fashion dolls vintage & modern Japanese/Asian (such as Blythe, Pullip, Dal, Hujoo & BJD’s)

• Fashion dolls 1960’s & 1970’s vintage (such as Pippa, Sindy & Tammy)

• Toys (kitsch/retro/Bradgate/Palitoy/Ideal/robots/Japanese/mechanical toys/miniaturisation)

 

I'm passionate about...

 

• Creativity

• The living world, animals, the coast, countryside and nature

• The built world especially industrial landscapes

• Mechanical things and industry

• Photography (have always carried a camera every day for as long as I can remember)

Fashion dolls... are such a happy, fun & wacky creative outlet in an often otherwise harsh world. It’s all about fashion and the clothes for me! I love styling, vintage and contemporary clothes, designing and making clothes, details, their beauty and the miniaturisation. I love the surreal and the irony of giving them a life in the outside world, making them look almost alive.

Mazda’s (cars) have been in my life since 1974 and they continue to be a huge passion. I love in particular all types of Japanese sports cars

I often have pangs of guilt that I should draw and paint more, but I'm never without a camera :) So naturally, some photographs are just snapshots and others have had a little more consideration. Generally I prefer a decent straight shot, although I also appreciate multi media work including digitally enhanced.

I hope that you enjoy my photographs and your comments are always welcome :)
