Friendship, Jesca Hoop and Gran Canaria

Some of the peeps I have been shooting lately:
Friendship, saw them first at Die! Die! Die!’s show at Cargo. Went to the Stag’s Head (fine pub that is :) ) and watched them play, and thought they were pretty good.
Took some shots at the beginning, super quick and fun.

Then I shot Jesca Hoop, this time with a whole team and the results are mega pleasing, did the whole thing in 2.5 hours and had a fab time.
Styling: Alicia Aimee
Hair: Ken
Make-Up: Xabier Celaya

The Kiss in Las Palmas last week, lovely weather there, being back here is kind of depressing.

Merry X-Mas everybody!!!!

Vienna and Ponytail Magazine Issue 3

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: — barto @ 23:01

Left last Sunday for Vienna, for what I hoped would be a good trip, but turned into something with very little spare time to do some shots for myself. I managed to get a few snoggers but I missed some real good ones at unexpected places, shows ya to be armed and ready at all times if you want to do okay street photography…
Tourism itself; I spent a few hours with Terri, who did most of it by herself btw, in the centre, we had coffee at a greenhouse and next door you could see butterflies flying about, so afterwards we walked past it to check if we could see some more and there is this huge, and I mean huge butterfly stuck to the glass, it brought memories of Alien with John Hurt lying on the table and having the alien stuck to his face……
The weather itself was good, a bit of rain but nothing like last year when I was there in Sept.

Terri and I went to the same restuarant (Strand Restaurant @ An der Unter Alten Donau) 3 x as it just delivered no nonsense grub but extremely tasty. Value for money, and you could notice it as the place was rammed, one of these word of mouth places which we just happened to run into while walking about Sunday eve.

The only thing you just can’t get used to is that first impression, of the Vienese being icy……..
The hotel, Lenas, we stayed at was dross, utter nightmare, noisy, mediocre breakfast, loads of Russians and everyone seems to smoke….funny how you get used to the no smoking rule in buildings and restaurants and clubs, here they smoke everywhere; vile……this coming from an ex-smoker ;)
A few pix

Then I just received the pix of the tearsheets of the new Ponytail Magazine, issue 3.
here are a few:
