Hi dear friends!! I went to a private concert of Fobia, one of my favorite bands, it was such a great party, I could dance and sing a lot and I liked LEAD's effects so much ;)
This was nice, looked good on the Slot Mags. Admittedly initially I did think it was a Hillman Hunter,

This is probably the rarest spot from Malta. Not my favourite, but the rarest! If I tell you the fact that this is the only one in Malta, you might understand how rare it actually is! Extremely rare! I wonder how many there are left in the UK?
Another cool fact is that he has owned it since new! Amazing! And at the exact same spot as the Hillman Hunter and another old English car i'll upload later!
The awesome Amanda Palmer performing at her Edge Festival gig at the HMV Picture House in Edinburgh this August.
I was in the happy position of being able to shoot the whole gig from the "pit" in front of stage. My thanks are due to Beth Hommel (Amanda's PA) for arranging my photo pass.
You can see all my other pics of Amanda in my Amanda Palmer set.
Please have a listen to the samples from Amanda's new album (which is great!) called:
Oh...and check out some rather nifty videos too: whokilledamandapalmer.com/videos
While you're surfing...I would also recommend sampling some of Amanda's work with The Dresden Dolls:
She was one of the toughest, most resourceful gals I ever knew. She grew up in an orphanage during the midst of the Great Depression. When her husband died and left her with two children to feed, she decided to stay at home and she began to take in alterations. She made cheerleader uniforms, drum major uniforms, men's suits and elegant dresses all by looking at a picture and making patterns out of newspaper. Our home was her workshop, and she had a constant stream of clients coming in to be fitted for garments. She always wanted a Singer sewing machine, but she was content with the one she ordered from Montgomery Wards. She told me Singers were the best. They were durable and needed little adjustment or maintenance. As a boy I learned to maintain her sewing machines. She had several, each set to different types of fabric, because she always had three or four jobs going at once.
It's strange what we carry on from our parents. Today, I own and use six different Nikon cameras. They may not be the newest, but they are tough, purpose driven equipment, each set for different conditions with different lenses. Like Mom's sewing machines.
When I purchased the building that houses Studio d'Xavier it contained twelve sewing machines and one blind stitch manchine. All but one of them were Singers. How she would have loved to be working with that equipment. Although I needed the room, I could not bring myself to dispose of the machines, either tossing them out or by selling them. I learned to sew from my mother, but I have little time for that now. So I saved the sewing machines, moving them to the back storage room of the studio. Upstairs in my office sits an industrial strength Singer that will sew canvas tarps if need be. Every once in a while, at night, I turn it on and press the electric treadle. The needle hums and the feed dogs and shuttle chatters away as it plays the music that put me to sleep long ago. That sound, more than anything else, reminds me of my mother.
