Found.
31st January 2012
Found. (the company that Si works for) have just launched their new site and I think it looks rather cool. They’re a Digital Marketing Agency and very good at what they do (check out the looong list of awards!)
The best bit? Si on the homepage under ‘super-talented’ and the fun Meet the Team photos that were shot by the awesome Miss Yael Fachler.
CommentAudrey Hepburn
23rd January 2012
Wow. I thought this shot of Audrey Hepburn by iconic British photographer Terry O’Neill was beautiful. Simple, sexy and so different from many of the portraits you usually see of her.
Terry O’Neill: Screen Sirens & Rock Rebels has unfortunately just finished at the Proud Galleries in London, but the exhibition is still available to view online here.

The Right Year for Children
17th January 2012
Last month I was lucky to be able to work with my friends over at PhotoVoice (and Action For Children) to help them design and build an online site and resource booklet to launch Rights! Cameras! Action! - a project that uses photography and video to explore young people’s views on children’s rights.
2012 is The Right Year for Children (RY4C) and aims to develop and strengthen children’s rights and awareness in the UK. Launched on December 16th to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the signing of the UK’s United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, the project is being introduced into UK schools this year to help kids learn about the right’s they’re entitled to.
Any project that uses photography as a way to express yourself is awesome in my opinion and Rights! Cameras! Action! is super interesting and well worth checking out.
Roald Dahl & Royal Mail
11th January 2012
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the BFG, Royal Mail has launched a collection of Roald Dahl stamps, illustrated by his long time friend and collaborator Quentin Blake.
These stories remind me so much of my childhood and I read and loved them all.
All the collections are available to buy on the Royal Mail online shop.
Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2011
3rd January 2012
Over the holiday we went to see the Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2011 at the Iziko Museum. Although the exhibition itself - the lightboxes and information displayed - wasn’t quite up to the Natural History Museum standards, it was still amazing to see the photographs.
As always there were images and stories to take your breath away but this year I found myself drawn to 2 more abstract shots rather than the usual (and always awesome) animal photos.
Gobi oasis by Swiss photographer Alessandra Meniconzi was Highly Commended in the Wildscapes category and A spectrum of silk by Finnish photographer Antti Partanen was Highly Commended in the Creative Visions category. Both beautiful, beautiful images.
Check out some more of the entries here.

Oo oo oo! The Polly dress has finally hit the AMS shop. I love it! Now the hard bit…do I want it in Blue, Black or Yellow?!
James Hopkins

James Hopkins’ Vanitas series is just awesome. I especially love the skull shelving and this piece Wasted Youth.

How cool are these paper cameras? Jennifer Collier is a British artist specialising in re-creating household items by stitching, bonding and waxing paper together.
The detail and thought gone into the various sections is lovely.

British still life photographer David Parfitt’s series of bubbles are just breathtaking. I’d love this one printed and mounted on acrylic for our bathroom. Gorgeous.

Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2011
21st October 2011
Every year I love going to see the Veolia Environnement Wildlife Photographer of the Year Award. Not only are the photographs breathtaking, the stories behind the shots are often just as incredible.
This super cute photo of a baby snub-nose monkey won French photographer Cyril Rouso runner-up in the endangered wildlife category. Check out the other winners here.
The exhibition runs until next March at the Natural History Museum in London and the International tour hits the Iziko Museum in Cape Town on December 6th.
