Anything but boring

Thomas Rousset grew up in a small mountain village near Grenoble in France, where he learned to entertain himself with very little but his imagination.

This hometown inspired his wonderful series “Prabérians”, in which Rousset takes us away to a fictional community in a dreamlike French countryside, a place where the everyday mixes with the surreal.

So, if the weather is as bad with you as it is over here, I encourage you to be inspired by Rousset’s world this weekend, create your own fairytale with what is available to you...use champagne bottle caps as jewellery, adorn your body with dog stickers, put a bucket on your head, carry the moon!

Claude Nori

French photographer Claude Nori has an ongoing love affair with Italy.
And so do I.
Mister Nori decided to make a lovely book about it, a book about the sweetest “dolce far niente” on the Italian coast. 
The photographs, taken in the 80s and 90s almost make you taste the salt, feel the sun, hear the Vespa’s.
Purrrrrr.

Dream Away

“She pinched my butt, and that was that”- words that photographer Michael Northrup spoke about meeting his former wife and muse Pam, in 1976.
Michaels book ‘Dream Away’ is a document of their relationship- in all of its curious, sexy, beautiful, intimate, gentle and dramatic glory.
The marriage has long ended.
But the memory remains, in the tender and colourful melancholy of this wonderful tribute to a Love lost.
