Another portrait
The lovely Charlotte, from a photo taken just today. I don’t think she’s going to like this one, because although it looks like her, it’s not a typical expression for her. I got a lot of good shots, so I’ll do some more prints. It was nice to be photographing someone gorgeous who also looks good in a picture – that’s not as common as you’d think. So much of attractiveness is bound up in personality and demeanour, so logically there must be many people who look great on film, but you would not consider attractive in person.
Things Meestah Grant Learnt Today:
• If you walk down Adam’s Terrace at 7pm, you will meet lots of cats.
• Brett has now exposed me to enough New Order to discern the difference between edits of the song ‘Ceremony’ on the Marie Antoinette soundtrack and the Singles version. The single is 13 seconds longer.
• Vic’s Sci-Fi Club are nice people, but astonishingly bad communicators.
• Reading Ninja by Brian Chippendale, a large (42cm tall) graphic novel, is like a window into mental illness.
• The fashionable look for the young urban professional this season is black trousers, a tieless business shirt, and a tight-fitting brown jacket. I saw three guys dressed like this in under five minutes.
• The most depressing thing I saw today was a large group of women having after-work drinks in the winebar across the street from St. Mary’s. The entire group wore nothing but black. I fear their imaginations had died.
Tomorrow I encounter Garry Trudeau. Who will survive?

Hopefully, enough of us that your signed copies will become heirlooms passed down your family! ;–)
… and I’m taking a small Moleskin notebook, a default autograph hound’s response, since I only have clippings not volumes of Doonesbury.
I’m up really early this morning, my internal clock won’t let me sleep ‘cos there’s exciting stuff to do today. Some decade, that’s gonna have to get under control…. but prolly not this one!

BTW, back on-point, that is rather a nice piccy of Charlotte – wind-in-the-hair works well with that red-shifted treatment.
Anticipating the Rachael pix – having seen her in Courtney Place in full sail – that must be a very interesting set of shots!

Char didn’t like it very much because of the messy hair, but I liked the original shot – I might re-trace it to simplify it. I’ve got a few other ones to do as well. The Rachael shots are very tightly cropped.

No need to guess why!
… although after Bloc d’Auteur, it’s of debatable need
