Can’t recall this group’s name, but the show was cool.

Vive le luff!

For those who don’t know, BME is web’s most important community for body modification (ie tattooing).

BME recently published an interview with “Zombie”, the web-famous skull-face-tattoo bearer who had so much electronic ink spilled over the past six months.

Ironically, Alyssa who photographed him for Sang Bleu in Montreal said that actually he was much cleverer and sweet in reality than he sounds in this interview… I wanna believe her.

READ THE INTERVIEW HERE.

A crane has arrived next to our flat. It’s a welcome addition to the view. I’m going to miss it when it’s gone.

At Wilson HQ we’re planning for 2 shoots in Sitges right now. It’s a neat / orderly / liberal seaside town just south of Barcelona. I’ve been photographing sunbathers there for the past 4 years.

Praying we get good weather for the fashion stories and enough heat to coax bodies onto the beaches for the personal work.

This first post is dedicated to you.

I can still picture you, having just finished a session on a big piece, explaining with big gestures how you composed it and how it would evolve. Then you gave me some of the cleverest and wisest advice on my own piece I ever got. I didn’t spend a lot of time with you. But some way you touched me deeply. The day I heard you had left us, I had to fight to hold the tears back and today as I write to you, I hold them back again. I had the honour to meet you and to know you a little bit and I will cherish your memory.

You were generous and true. Just true. We will miss you.
All my thoughts go to your family and your friends.

Sincerely yours.
