I'm forever blowing bubbles

My usual lunch date at Di Maggio's was combined with an emergency photo-shot for the December picture in their Christmas calendar.  As luck would have it I'd just given Morag a loan of my flash-gun, so we had to rely on on-camera flash with a hanky over it (to lessen glare a bit).  However, I managed to get some shots (thanks largely to Alison and some cunningly deployed  bubble mixture).

Matthew and the bubbles

Andrew does something complicated with straws while Matthew receives messages from the Heavens (or possibly spots some more bubbles just out of shot).

I dreamed your dress was made of mirrors

Morag in my sparkly dress for the "underwater" part of Saturday's shoot at Dreghorn Studios.  The real submerged photos will hopefully appear soon, but we both quite liked the way it reflected the light onto the walls like a mirrorball.  It also sounds like rain falling on a roof when you pick it up.  (Title borrowed from Zoey Van Goey).

Video of one of Adam Stafford's cunningly bizarre loop pedal songs as previously mentioned - think KT Tunstall, but more exotic...

The Windmills of Your Mind

The more you look at photos of wind farms the more strange they seem

  

looking like giant, tethered seagulls 

or angular stick-creatures

standing around in a kind of Dali-esque fashion

on the edge of a illusory body of water.
