Marilyn Monroe by Eve Arnold

So many people say it, but I do truly think that Marilyn Monroe was one of the most beautiful, sensual and elegant women ever. No body seemed to capture this quite like Magnum photographer Eve Arnold.

This really really makes me smile.

I've not posted on this in so long but this deserves a post of it's own!

Been a while

I've been in Tallinn and it was awesome. Here are some photos...

More on here flickr.

It's a dogs life.

It's been a long time since I've posted anything on this. All the photos I've been taking recently have been either on my small Sony digital compact, or on film, and a lot have been of dogs.

I was staying in Uddingston for 2 weeks looking after my sisters house and cats while she was away sunning herself in Egypt. Uddingston is a dream come true for this series, everyone has dogs!

I'm going to make a flickr page for my 'It's a Dogs Life' series this afternoon, but for now I'll show you this little beauty...

This gorgous wee dog watched me run along Main Street to capture his image. I petted his head, took a couple photos and went on my way.

I'll do an update with my flickr dogs page very soon.

Final 3B Images.

I feel like I havent taken a photograph in ages. I took one for my 'Dogs Life' series yesterday so I will have that up on here very soon.

I realise that I haven't put up my final images for 3B on here yet, so here goes.

I haven't really looked at them for a couple of weeks, but I'm still really happy with them. Definately not the end of this project.

These 6, along with 3 other images from my 'Rannoch' project, will be shown at my End of Year exhibition in WASPs Factory. Opening night Thurs 2nd June 6.30pm - 9pm, exhibition runs until Fri 10th June.

Top image on this eflyer was taken by my wonderful boyfriend Ande Murdoch (blog).

It's a dogs life on Gordon St.

Such a cute dog.

I'm getting a new compact 35mm camera soon. I can't wait until it's delivered as it'll give me something light and easy to carry about Glasgow and shoot day to day things. It's also one of the coolest/ cutest cameras ever. Keep your eyes peeled, I'll put up photos of it as soon as it arrives!

Francesca Woodman by Chris Townsend

About 6 monts ago I ordered the Francesca Woodman book by Chris Townsend from WHSmith.co.uk only to be told they were out of stock. So I moved on to search the web only to find the book for an average of £70, which at the moment is too much for me. Basically I forgot about my search and took it out on loan from the Uni library a number of times.

A couple of nights ago I received an email from WHSmith saying my order had been dispached, then when I got home today my book had been delivered and it was sitting on my bed waiting for me.

"She constantly compares the fragility of her own body with the physical environment around her."

Woodman's work can still take my breath away.
