Another of my favourite shots of model Kimmy Bond from a pre-Christmas tfp photowalk around London with a few models and photographers from the website Purpleport. It was so busy, not to mention quite cold and wet, so it proved to be a challenging but fun afternoon / evening.

As I have mentioned in a previous post, the music world and photography world have many parallel lines and sometimes they converge, providing Gemma and I the opportunity to work together, without taking leave from our chosen profession. Most recently this happened when we covered an event at Epernay Champagne Bar in Manchester for The National Magazine Company's 100th birthday celebration. The National Magazine Company is the umberella group that owns such magazines as Esquire, Harpers Bazaar, Cosmopolitan and many more. A rather glamorous evening with champagne flowing, Epernay's caterers circulating the room with delicate canapés, whilst Gemma's three piece band added atmospheric elegance, only stopping to allow for some low key speeches and then continuing into the evening.

My own camera does a better job of photographing Leslie Anne's long, sleek legs and getting them into the picture completely than using her camera. She wore this dress to the season premier of the Houston Symphony Orchestra in September 2008, a week before Hurricane Ike struck our city. Unfortunately, we did not do a photo session that evening. Click on All Sizes > Large or Original to see the details of her dress and her pretty smile. Here is a link to see her in another pose taken with her camera: www.flickr.com/photos/leslie_anne_007/4375137907/ .
Holywell Street is one of my favourite places in Oxford to take photos. Like Brasenose Lane, another of my favourites, it runs roughly east to west so usually has great light early in the morning and on a Summer's evening.

From Wikipedia : "Holywell Street is a street in central Oxford, England. It runs east-west with Broad Street to the west and Longwall Street to the east. About halfway along, Mansfield Road adjoins to the north.
New College dominates the south side of the street. At the western end of the street is the King's Arms public house on the north corner, a favourite with Oxford University students, and the Indian Institute (now the home of The James Martin 21st Century School) to the south. On the north side is the Holywell Music Room, an historic chamber music venue built in 1742. Opposite a small cul-de-sac, Bath Place, leads via a small winding footpath to the historic Turf Tavern public house close to the old city wall. The wall remains, in places, and follows the course of Holywell Street to the south, partly through New College. The buildings on the corner of Holywell Street and Mansfield Road, along with the Alternative Tuck Shop, are owned by Harris Manchester College, and are used as student accommodation."

Looking Back To The Day The Clash Came To Town On The White Riot Tour With Subway Sect, The Slits and The Prefects.
Rare Ticket Chancellor Hall Chelmsford. Click On Image To Play "White Riot" Video From 1977
I don't have any nostalgic tales about the White Riot Tour coming to Chelmsford. Don't get me wrong, I was there and it was a blast but my memory is of a collection of bands from all round the Country being very angry about matters that meant F all to me. I remember The Prefects sang "Birmingham is a shithole" which I thought was funny but obvious - having now visited our town, the singer must have realised that anywhere north of Chelmsford would fall into that category (must be why they never recorded it!)? I completely forgot about Subway Sect and haven't a clue about their songs - must have been at the bar for their set? The Slits were sluts because one of them touched Barry's arse on the way to the stage - spent their set laughing at that and not thinking much of them musically, good album cover though, inspiring stuff for an adolescent! Loved The Clash - that backdrop is a brilliant representation of the time - but we didn't have riots like that in our Town so was a little difficult to sympathise but the songs, the anger were groundbreaking for us. Shame the best punk band to come to town was the first, in hindsight all the bands that followed weren't quite so inspiring.
In recent times, I was one of the 50 or so that saw Carbon/Silicon at V a couple of years ago when everyone else was watching Muse - old Mick is still out there folks, sometime Gorilla(z), shame he only comes to town every 31 years.

I remember the build up to the evening, about how sleepy Chelmsford was going to be invaded by hordes of rabid Punk Rockers marauding our streets from London, how drugs and alcohol were going to ruin the adolescent youth for years to come. I was 18 at the time and thought it was great. I can remember the Lion and Lamb, AKA the Animals (this was the pub in front of Dukes) having a lot of the local thugery, waiting for the punks and I think we actually drank in there and the Fleece before the gig. I do recall getting dressed up in an old school blazer with a skinny black tie. The blazers were ripped and had safety pins festooned all over them. Also this was the time of the Queens Silver Jubilee, there were many little plastic Union Jack flags in abundance, a lot of these were saftey pinned to jackeetsand shirts. We must have looked stupid but we thought we were cool.
Inside the hall it seemed ever so dark and sweaty, between the bands heavy Dub Reggae seemed to shake the venue to its core. I can’t remember a lot about the bands apart from that, I thought that the Slits were excellent, I think that this was my reggae upbringing. They played what I thought at the time the best song of the night, “New Town” When they sang this they rocked from foot to foot in unison. I know the Subway Sect also played and I think the Prefects, but this part of the night was a blur. The Clash were good and I remember “White Riot” blaring out and everyone going mental. They also did a version of Junior Murvins “Police and Thieves.” The strange thing at that time was that I couldn’t hear much difference between them and the Feelgoods. Fast exciting music.
The night seemed to go really quickly and I did realise at the time that I had been to something that had probably changed my life musically. If it wasn’t for that night, I would have never seen some of the great up and coming bands before they were famous. I wouldn’t have enjoyed a lot of the bands that I saw at the Chancellor and in a lesser degree the Rock Club. I would not have preferred my music to be rough and raw, rather than the practised polished rubbish that everyone else enjoys (excluding 70’s syrupy soul, because that is the best).
Summing up I think I was lucky to have been a teenager when I was, it was an exciting time to be young. There was an air of innocence about which made the punk scene, seem very dangerous. You could see bands cheap on a Sunday which were on Top of the Pops on a Thursday. The music felt as though it was breaking down barriers and not conforming to the norm. I suppose like the 60’s protested against something, as the only other time I saw the Clash was with Maurice at Vicky Park in Bow, supporting the Rock against Racism campaign. Most surprising of all though, was that the Clash would become Megastars and the Slits were not as good as I thought.

I was so excited when the Clash came to town, I had just bought the first single “White Riot” b side “1977” I had played them over and over and Punk was all new to me. Such raw short and fast tracks that I just loved , Punk was well and truly here now. I lived in Great Baddow with my parents then a 17 year old bored teenager fascinated by the emerging new wave bands.
Having already seen pub rockers Dr Feelgood, I was now certainly ready for the White Riot Tour at the Chancellor Hall. I had read stories in the Media about rioting in other towns and the local paper reported that the council had restricted admittance numbers to 400 with a soft drinks bar only following these reports.
My self and Barry Magowan who lived a few doors away talked and planned how we would dress as Punks for the night. We had sprayed and spiked our hair and dressed best we could as Punks that Sunday evening. The walk into to town was memorable as the older generation look on in shock as here were some of those terrible Punks they had read about in the press.
Is all we had to watch out for were local Ted's who might want a Punch Up as there were still quite a few Teddy Boys in Chelmsford then but they never appeared. We started of at the “Lion And Lamb” locally known as “The Animals” now “Dukes”. As we arrived there were about 60 Punks outside some probably from the London area, we had a couple of drinks here. I must admitt I was a bit scared at the time as this was the first time I had mixed with such characters ,some of whom were frightening to look at. Sounds crazy that I tried to dress to shock, but was instead terrified of other scary punks.
Once inside the hall we made our way to the bar that was busy serving soft drinks, Barry had managed to talk to some punk girls who we did not know until they appeared on stage, they were the Slits. I don't remember a lot about the Prefects who I think were the first band on , other than that they were fucking terrible. When the Subway Sect came on rumours started in the crowd that Ted's had gathered outside the venue armed with iron bars, this sent the crown running over to the front windows to view, but I never saw any. Having said that, "where have all the Ted's gone in Chelmsford". I always remember seeing Ted's all the time round town but now there's none to be seen.
The Slits sounded bad as well as they could hardly play, just a screaming horrible noise, but I remember this song were they danced side to side like stiff dummy's it was called “New Town” one of there better efforts of the evening. Click on image to play the 1978 video of this song and you will see what I mean.
We had moved close to the front when the Clash came on and you soon new that here was a band of the future, they were just superb. The punks did pogo and dance to the sounds that came from the first Clash LP , London's Burning, Jamie Jones, Remote Control, Hate and War, What's My Name, Career Opportunity's, I'm So Bored With The USA, Cheat, 48 hours and Garageland that could have been played but defiantly 1977 and White Riot as I remember these. We had witnessed the turning point in music live, that changed us for ever more. All in all local history had been made when the Clash came to town.

Photographed at Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada, between 01.55 and 02.20 EDT
(285 km by road north of Toronto)
* Altitude of nebula at time of exposures: 71-73°
* Temperature 2° C.
* Total exposure time: 12 minutes
* 660 mm focal length telescope
___________________________________________
Description:
Close to the familiar "W" shape of the bright stars in the prominent northern hemisphere autumn constellation Cassiopeia lie several large but faint hydrogen gas clouds.
One of these, the so-called "Soul" or "Embryo" Nebula, is formally designated Westerhout 5, LBN 667, or Sharpless 2-199. The open star cluster IC 1848 is found in the body of the nebula, to the right of centre in this photo.
From the Constellation Guide:
"The Heart and Soul Nebulae complex spans an area about 300 light years across and is a vast star-forming region illuminated by the light of the young stars surrounded by star-forming clouds of dust and gas. The two large clouds are separated by only 2.5 degrees and physically connected by a bridge of gas. The stars in the region are less than a few million years old and are only beginning their life. For comparison, our Sun has been around for almost 5 billion years. The Soul Nebula is about 100 light years across and has an estimated age of 1 million years."

I have a vase with fake plants in it, and for some reason this part of it caught my eye today, I liked the tones and the bends of it.
Today was pretty good, I've been making my way through my to-do list at work and tying up loose ends. I have an interview for a new position on Thursday so I'm trying to get all my outstanding items cleaned up just in case I make a good impression.
Otherwise, I'm feeling stressed out by my blackberry so I've done the unthinkable, I've turned it off. It was just getting out of control, I'm trying to get things done around the house and the thing is vibrating none stop. Well that's it BB, you're taking a nap and I'm having a quiet evening!

These are two wristbands that I am going to wear next week when I run the Broad Street Run ( www.broadstreetrun.com/ ) in Philadelphia. The represent the Tug McGraw Foundation ( www.tugmcgraw.org/home.asp ) and Faith and Fear in Flushing ( www.faithandfearinflushing.com/ ).
I have been active with the Tug McGraw Foundation since its inception. I was always a fan of Tug's, and was heartbroken when he was diagnosed with brain cancer. I have supported the organization, founded in his honor and then memory, since its inception; it funds research into quality of life issues that affect those with brain cancer, brain tumors, post-traumatic stress syndrome, brain injury trauma, and a host of related conditions.
Last year, when I ran the New York City Marathon, I did it as a member of Team McGraw (http://www.tugmcgraw.org/team/default.asp) - I signed up for it because I knew I could get a charity spot in the Marathon that way, but what I got out of this was much more than a race; the support and friendship I found from my coach and teammates has been unbelievable, and I will be forever grateful for it.
I wore the Faith and Fear in Flushing wristband when I ran the Marathon. I knew that raising the $3,000 I needed in order to run the Marathon with Team McGraw would be a tall order, but I was blessed with wonderful friends. Greg Prince, specifically, co-author of Faith and Fear in Flushing, has been amazingly supportive, and gave my Marathon fundraising efforts much-needed publicity. With the help of Faith and Fear and the blogosphere, I raised $6,214 for my Marathon fundraising! I couldn't have done that without being a part of the Faith and Fear Nation.
So now I'm at it again, albeit on a much smaller scale. I don't foresee any more marathons in my future, but I will be running the 10-mile Broad Street Run with team McGraw on May 1st. I will be running this race with Team McGraw; even though I exceeded my $150 fundraising commitment, I would like to raise as much money as possible for this wonderful organization. Thus, Greg and I will be at McFadden's Citi Field tonight between 6:00 and 7:00 in order to raise a beer to Tug and help out the cause. For more details, check out Greg's column - www.faithandfearinflushing.com/2011/04/11/buy-tug-a-beer/
If you would like to help my fundraising efforts but can't make it to Citi Field this evening, click here - www.active.com/donate/teammcgrawbroadstrun/tmSChapma Remember, no donation is too small (or, for that matter, too large either ). Ya Gotta Believe!

We began our meal at Moto on Thursday evening at 7 pm with their signature edible menu. It was also a rebus (a pictogram puzzle). We ordered the GTM (Grand Tasting Menu or Grand Tour of Moto). The buttery, crisp "paper" was served with champagne geleé and caviar. The menu counted as our amuse bouche for the evening.
