colour abstracts (and the price of pear cider)

out a couple of nights ago, kim's by the sea in hulme, with julie and petros, when colour combinations caught the eye. had previously been taking massive close-ups of candle holders but now, inspired by suggestion from julie, i snapped away. bit of a difficulty later on, and a much greater one last night, but the thing is that some people export negativity, impose it onto those gullible enough to take it on board, and after it's built up to screaming point it does literally have to be screamed or shouted out. a kind of logical contradiction occurs like a singularity in space, and there is an explosion. anyway, we had one and though now the seas have calmed the underlying problems still remain, the same people, unchanged and unchagrinned, continuing to generate and export crap, negativity and hatred without thought or even the most basic awareness - indeed they always seem to think that they are the ones hard-done-by. note to self: shouldn't bitch behind backs - come out with how you feel directly.

flowers and night out at the sandbar

a walk around todmorden park produced some interesting flower shots. what is it about flowers? something absorbing - maybe the challenge to try and do something a bit different with them? pretty hard though - they get a lot of coverage. then a couple of nights out at the sandbar in manchester with petros, neil, ra, sarah and various others. so why the table-tops and no portraits? well, nobody seemed too keen - apart from ra at the end.
