Most people think photographers have a ”fetish” or love affair with their cameras, they think that we cannot stop buying them. I’m not(quite) In that camp.

BAFTAs, FTP and Batteries
It's a very long day. We need to check in for our accreditaion before midday; before "loading" the pen at 1pm. Arrivals on the Red Carpet happened between 2pm and 4:30pm, at which point we transfered to the Winners Press room where we settled until about 8:40pm.
An hour around Potsdammer Platz

Last Monday I travelled up to London on my day off to visit the Lee Miller exhibition at Tate Britain.

Self Portrait – Day 6 of 7
Self Portrait - Day 6 of 7 Back to the straight on image, shot down "length" of the office, but getting a little tighter (unflattering).
