Image 019 9187 2 Sauveteur
The tattoo on this French lifeguard's thigh alludes to 'tortured soul.'
Image 070 2474 Oops! Dingle Bay, Ireland
Un autre des Oops ! série. J'ai peint le nom du bateau à la demande des propriétaires du camping. Je n'avais aucune sympathie pour ce M. Big car il est entré dans la zone « Dead Slow - Swimmers » bien trop vite dans son bateau à moteur. Six images dans la séquence, dont un deuxième plongeon et un sauvetage ignominieux.
Another from the Oops! series. I painted the name of the boat out at the request of the camp site owners. I had no sympathy for this Mr Big as he came into the 'Dead Slow - Swimmers' area far to fast in his motor boat. Six pictures in the sequence including a second dunking and ignominious rescue. |

Image 019 7101 Woman and goat
La chèvre a été fascinée par le cliquetis de l'obturateur de l'appareil photo et la femme contrôle sa curiosité, l'empêchant de venir vers moi.
The goat was fascinated by the clicking of the camera shutter and the woman is controlling its curiosity stopping it coming over to me.

Here are some shots from Beach Photography 4: Footprints bare and Beach Photograpy 3: Footprints which are in print. These two volumes are, as far as I am aware, unique. Of thousands of footprints photographed on beaches around Europe I singled out over 300 for each volume. This surely goes some way to assuaging the curious - and the fetishistic.
The Beach Photography volumes are published in large format (7" x 10") and pocket size (5" x 7"). The smaller format was originally for my benefit. I carry a couple of them in my camera bag and have needed to show them to suspicious people. Now I always have someone with me on a beach when taking photographs.

Deux autres échantillons de mes projets de T-shirts et de Book of Numbers. Je vise 500 numéros de porte comme ci-dessous. Il est plus amusant de repérer et de photographier des messages osés sur des t-shirts, mais il faut beaucoup plus de discrétion.
Two more samples from my ongoing T-shirts and Book of Numbers projects. I'm aiming for 500 door numbers as below. Spotting and photographing risqué T-shirt messages is more fun, though a lot more discretion is needed.

Image 52271 Eating is My Day Job
J'ai pris cette photo à une certaine distance, sans personne entre nous, et l'homme n'a rien dit en passant. Ce n'est qu'en regardant l'image sur l'ordinateur que j'ai vu qu'il regardait directement l'objectif. Je suppose que j'ai dû être aussi évidente pour lui qu'il l'était pour moi.
I took this picture from some distance away with no-one between us and the man said nothing as he walked past. Only when looking at the image on the computer did I see he is looking straight at the lens. I suppose I must have been as obvious to him as he was to me. |
