‘First ones were these 2 stars. I was 16, 17 yrs old. A friend of mine died. They’re his initials
They’re by Thomas Hooper. We used to ride bmx together. I’d go round his house when he was living with his mother in Bexhill. It was when he started in his front room. He was living in Bromley.

Then I got addicted to tattoos so I ended up getting a few more.

I did my ankles myself. This was done with a gun and all these just hand push with a needle.
I’m gonna get my legs done. Liam’s gonna do them.‘

Some things will never go out of fashion.

Never missing an opportunity to photograph an impressive woman as Michèle Lamy I had to ask her to pause for ma at the Rick Owens show. BTW, Check out that amazing neck piece!

Wow.
The best of Italy VS the best of Paris VS the best of… well something german, actually. Architectural and sober.

Oh, and Mr Jobs, if you feel like offering me a copy of your famous “Final Cut” software so that I could put back in a vertical stance all these videos I filmed sideways, that’d be appreciated.

And dear Sang Bleu friends. The love and support that already got us THROUGH the door of all these show, so, it’s just a matter of time that we make it to the 1st row and THEN will be able to deliver some decent pictures! So keep it up please! ;)

With visual emphasis courtesy of the near perfect Gina Rowlands in Gloria directed by the brilliant John Cassevetes, this is one hell of a big shout out to the anonymous ‘security’ at Gatwick airport who saw fit to steal one of the very precious pieces I’d packed to shoot for SB5, to the model agency who decided, 3 hours before the end of the day before the shoot, that the model was no longer available. And would never be available (was it something I said?) and finally to whoever stole my bicycle just the round things off to create that magic 3.
If there was a category ‘Absolutely fucking up the making of SB’ It would decorate this perfectly.

(But I’m not a quitter).

And that’s exactly where I’m doing.

Ciao ciao.
