Skating, Somerset House

Skating in Somerset House

Luddite

Just discovered some very basic photo software which I've had since I first got this computer, was playing around with it and lo! It has opened up a whole new world.

1. Photo unenhanced, looking a bit pale and anaemic.
2. Photo after jiggery-pokery, much closer to what I saw in my head when I snapped.

*Sigh* Guess I'm going to have to get proficient with Photoshop after all. There's no going back...

Some day, I will make it to the Bethnal Green Working Men's Club

Is it art? No, it is a children's playground.

It's a skateboarder. Can't you tell?

I'm so proud!

This flyer is by the fantastic Manga style graphic design firm, Rost, whose designs are happily available to order online.

Velvet

neck detail - check out the rhinestones













Could not convince myself that I'd ever have occasion to wear a floor-length red velvet dress (with appliqued rhinestones on the neck), but had to take a photo of it in Beyond Retro just to remember it by.

Adios, dress...

Penguin

You have to love old Penguins. They don't make covers like this anymore. Sometimes I buy them just for the covers, and have found some good books this way.

(When one of the hostages in Lebanon, maybe Brian Keenan or Terry Waite, was being held, their captors brought them books, but they weren't very good ones - so they drew a symbol of a penguin and said 'See if you can bring me one with this on' - knowing it would be a guarantee of quality.)

Postcard

Colour wheels

They appeared one day off the Roman Road, with no explanation. The next day, they were gone...
