<div style="text-align: left;">
'Le Cri Du Coyote' scripted an article on Tusconan singer/songwriter <a href="http://www.brianlopezmusic.com/" target="_blank">Brian Lopez</a> whilst he was in France. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
He was there with his band for the 'Les Escales' music festival.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The festival occurs every summer & is held on the glorious shores of St. Nazaire. Artists from around the globe are invited to perform, at what must be one of the best locations for a 'gig'. The back drop, being the setting sun on the ocean, was spectacular and the music... trés special!<br />
Brian was the jewel in the crown!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I was there to take images of the artist on stage... Those images, along with a few from a location shoot here in Beaconsfield, were used for the magazine... Makes me happy as Larry! :)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
How's your french?... Bonne Lecture!</div>

Jones<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My latest photography work was for an album cover, commissioned by the fantastic singer/songwriter Trevor Jones... known to most as 'Jones'. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The brief was the title of the album... 'To The Bone' and a request to include a red background.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I didn't have far to travel... I attached my macro lens onto a tripod in the 'Red Room' at home & set about using these finely carved wooden figurines, purchased on a trip to Africa. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They were ideal models!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The images were sent to Barry Cross who then got to work on the album design.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Due for release in May... Order those copies now! :)</div>

Brian Lopez, singer/songwriter/musician from Tucson, Arizona, was this side of the pond during the summer of 2013. He was supporting <a href="http://www.kttunstall.com/" target="_blank">KT Tunstall</a> on her UK tour. I was able to see a few of those fabulous shows and festivals and took some 'performance' images. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was luckier still to do a personal shoot with Brian at various locations in Beaconsfield, one of them being the <a href="http://www.rsoe.co.uk/" target="_blank">'Royal Standard of England'</a>... the oldest pub in Britain and reputed to be haunted... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh so MED-I-EVIL!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Lopez is currently on a US/Canadian tour with KT... check out the dates <a href="https://www.songkick.com/artists/150590-kt-tunstall" target="_blank">here</a></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
So... to 'Les Escales'; a fantastic 2 day festival in the town of St.Nazaire, North West France. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A small town with a big heart... for music!</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And so... lucky ol' me, with my wonderful sister Hilary as my dancing partner, had the opportunity to take images of the singers and their bands. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From Tucson, Arizona... <a href="http://www.brianlopezmusci.com/" target="_blank">Brian Lopez</a>, <a href="http://www.gabrielsullivanmusic.com/" target="_blank">Gabriel Sullivan</a>, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/chichadust" target="_blank">Chicha Dust</a> & <a href="http://www.tomwalbankmusic.com/" target="_blank">Tom Walbank</a>... with Geoff Hildago, Vicki Brown, Mona Chambers, Jason Urman, Jon Villa, Efren Cruz Chavez, Winston Watson, Connor Gallaher, Jack Sterbis & French Cumbia Ambassadors, Laurent Allinger, Jean Patrick Cosset, Ronan Daniel & Yvan Tamayo.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The essence of the earthy Cumbia music sent us soaring to the heavens... the languid Latino <i>Chicha </i>rhythms were irresistible; getting under our skin & into our veins. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was impossible to stand still! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
How's a girl to take pic's when she's aswirlin' & atwirlin'? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My hips seemed to have a mind of their own! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b>C'etait Magnifique!</b></i></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>The American Vintage Fender Jaguar, for me, is this outlier. By most every account, the Jaguar is about as impractical as watching pornographic film with one's hands tied behind their back. It goes out of tune easily...the mute switch corrodes quickly...the twangy tone is sometimes unpleasantly piercing. Why would anybody choose this Fender product over the highly-regarded, heavily-endorsed Stratocaster or Telecaster!? Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton, along with countless other blues masters boast the Strat, whereas other iconic figures such as Bruce Springsteen or Tom Petty prefer the classic Telecaster twang. Who, in their right mind, would dismiss these two proven Fender guitar models -- and choose the impractical, lesser-proven Jaguar? Well, in his right mind, Mr. "Nevermind" - Kurt Cobain, for one. Sure the Jaguar had been around since '62 -- But it wasn't until '92 when the Jaguar picked up it's first endorsement by Cobain during the wake of the Seattle Grunge rock scene. Soon, countless other 'outliers' would be using Jaguars, Mustangs, Jagstangs, and Jazzmasters (all of lesser notoriety than the Telecaster or Strat). From Cobain, to Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth), to Jay Mascis of Dinosaur Jr -- this new wave of guitarists changed the modus operandi. </i></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>For me, personally, it makes absolutely no sense to rock a Jaguar. Firstly, I am a classically trained guitarist. I need an exceptionally wide fretboard to navigate my right hand in a finger-style picking pattern --> The Jaguar has one of the SMALLEST fretboards on any guitar...EVER! Also, tend to use a thicker, fatter tone associated with the highly touted Gibson Les Paul or ES 335 ---> The Jaguar notoriously has one of THE THINNEST tones you will ever hear on a guitar. </i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>But ohhh is that Jaguar sexy! </i></span><br />

Top Dog!<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Way back in September 2012, I raved fanatically about a new album that I'd discovered... </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
'Ultra' by the brilliant Brian Lopez, a singer/songwriter from Tucson, Arizona, US.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rmfcU1VMEEI/UOxD7AeWwgI/AAAAAAAABds/ow7GkDfQUxE/s1600/32096_870783021782_477603_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rmfcU1VMEEI/UOxD7AeWwgI/AAAAAAAABds/ow7GkDfQUxE/s320/32096_870783021782_477603_n.jpg" width="232" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Well, it seems that I wasn't alone in my raving...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
From the top 100 albums played on KXCI during 2012, </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
'Ultra' came out at no.1... Woo! Woo!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It was my favourite album of last year... & yep...<br />
I'm still playing it!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
We need to get Brian heard this side of the pond... he's too good to miss! So do yourselves a favour & order a copy from his website... <a href="http://www.brianlopezmusic.com/" target="_blank">www.brianlopezmusic.com</a><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">This summer, he spent time in the studio with HG's extended and regrouped version of the band, <a href="http://howegelb.com/2012/03/26/giant-giant-sand-2/" target="_blank">'Giant Giant Sand'</a></span>, recording their latest 19 track album <a href="http://www.firerecords.com/site/index.php?page=release&releaseid=00876" target="_blank">'Tucson'</a>, (winging it's way towards me as we speak.)</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">He's also put together a Chicha band called 'Chicha Dust'... a latin sound with a rock 'n roll flair... and, as if that wasn't enough... </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">he recently completed a European tour with french singer, </span><a href="http://www.mariannedissard.com/" target="_blank">Marianne Dissard</a>. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">

However, what excites me more than anything is his debut solo album, <a href="http://www.brianlopezmusic.com/" target="_blank">'Ultra'</a>...<br />

<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: right;">
Eleven stunningly crafted songs with haunting melodies </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
and musical arrangements that push the boundaries. </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
Coupled with a sublime voice of such serenity and<br />
dynamic range, giving this album a truly unique sound.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
My album of the year!</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: right;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
Brian says... "I'd like to transcend my brand of psychedelia </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
into Latin rhythms and progressions... to switch languages lyrically and still provide a universal sentiment musically".</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: right;">
I say... <a href="http://www.brianlopezmusic.com/" target="_blank">"Buy it!"</a>... "It hasn't been off my player".</div>

And so to Denmark, to the Aarhus Festival. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.hissyf.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Trev</a> was performing there in front of an audience of 1600 including </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Queen Margrethe II and I went along for the ride... and what a ride! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Besides rehearsals, a soundcheck and the performance there was lots of social. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We shared four days with some amazing presenters, singers and musicians </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
from around the globe who were... 'The Bee's Knees'. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The theme of the show was 'Big - Size Matters' which was directed </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
by the charming Jens Folmer Jepson and took place in the Musikhuset.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.myspace.com/diegoschissi" target="_blank">Diego Schissi</a> from Argentina was the maestro and pianist who scripted the musical arrangements. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The brilliant band who remained on stage throughout, were Brian Lopez, Thoger Tetens Lund, and Peter Deombernowsky of <a href="http://www.myspace.com/giantsand" target="_blank">'Giant Sand'</a>, Ida Norholm,<br />
Francesco Cali and Francisco Victor Bringas Valdez.<br />
Check out Brian Lopez' solo album <a href="http://www.brianlopezmusic.com/" target="_blank">'Ultra'</a>, it's awesome!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My man sang 'Hopeland', the beautiful opening track from his album 'Hopeland'. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://lisahannigan.ie/" target="_blank">Lisa Hannigan</a> followed with a dramatic number called 'Home'... what a voice! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://evadahlgren.com/" target="_blank">Eva Dahlgren</a> and Simon Stromstedt sang a beautiful duet called 'Our Time' that hasn't left my head. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.emilianatorrini.com/" target="_blank">Emiliana Torrini</a>, one of my absolute favourite singers was performing on the next night. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
She was a hoot!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
Thanks guys for an amazing time, hope to see you again next year.<br />
<br />
Here are a few images from rehearsals...</div>

It's a fascinating art and the creative scope is endless. It's always good to keep abreast of new moods, fashions and products which are constantly changing.

Here are a few shots from the first day...<br />

After a year or so, all the boxes were moved to the centre of the space and quite literally, a kitchen sink was plumbed in. It was to be my dark room for a few years until the digital age took me by storm. It became my den and I spent many happy hours dodging and burning. Never tiring of the exciting process of seeing the print come to life. It got so hot up there during the summer months that I'd be in my bikini. Now of course, those days are gone. The attic became a storage space/dumping ground again and our house seemed smaller. Now, twelve years later my 2012 new year's resolution was to sort out the contents and only keep what was really, really important. They say that if something's not been used or missed after three x four seasons then get rid. However, when most of those possessions are photos and memorabilia it's easier said than done.<br />
Books, read and re-read went to the charity shop, clothes were handed down and my developing equipment wrenchingly passed onto an enthusiast. However, the photographs... and there were reams of them, are like a diary of our lives that would be kept forever. I came across a folder full of contact sheets of our time in New York. Albums of fantastic holidays to Europe and far flung places. Our young fresh faces giddy with joy. Then equally joyful images of my old dancing days. There we were with Janet Jackson, Diana Ross, Roy Orbison, George Benson, the entire cast of Coronation Street, oh and Take That... I'd intended to scan some of these images and post them here but then something else grabbed my attention...<br />
<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-J9l47VZoA6g/TygJdvpn0rI/AAAAAAAAA10/rerfcXeM22k/s1600/1075_3col.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-J9l47VZoA6g/TygJdvpn0rI/AAAAAAAAA10/rerfcXeM22k/s1600/1075_3col.jpg" /></a>In 2007 a box of negatives were found and purchased at a furniture and antique auction in Chicago by a 26 year old real estate agent, John Maloof. It took him days to look through his find. After doing some research he discovered more boxes and acquired around 150,000 negatives. After scanning and developing some of the images it became obvious to him that a treasure had been found. The amateur 'street photographer' was Vivian Maier.<br />
<br />
Born in New York in 1926 but grew up in France and after returning to the US worked as a nanny and caregiver for about 40 years. In the late 1940's she spent her leisure time wandering around the streets of Chicago with her modest Kodak Brownie box camera, and later travelled to Los Angeles, Manila, Bangkok, Beijing, Egypt, Italy and Southwest America with her more modern Rolleiflex camera. However, her work was hidden from the eyes of others.<br />
<br />
As she got older, she collected more boxes of belongings, taking them with her to each new employer's house. Within them the treasures that were to be uncovered.<br />
Toward the end of her life, it's thought that she may have been homeless but the children that she'd cared for in the early 50's bought her an apartment and paid her bills.<br />
She died in 2009 at the age of 83, having hit her head after a fall on the ice.<br />
<br />
John Maloof has brought this incredible body of work to light and enabled us to marvel and be inspired by her humorous, moving, beautiful and raw images.<br />

There are heaps more but here's just a taster. I loved every shoot as I know did all my clients. We had fun finding fabulous locations to use for backdrops and after each session agreed that it was an experience that wouldn't be forgotten.<br />
I know some folk think that they'll feel intimidated or shy when having their picture taken, but everyone, without exception relaxed and lost their inhibitions.<br />
I'm looking forward to many more days of capturing images that will be treasured forever. We are all special and I feel it's so important to have a photo diary of who we are throughout our lives; something to look back on and cherish.<br />
A special congratulations to one of my couples, Jesh & Emma who have just got engaged. They are quite simply made for each other. I know that the wedding next year is going to be fabulous, I can't wait! Check out their session from last July...<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 14px;"> <a href="http://diholmesphotography.blogspot.com/2011/07/couple-shoot-jesh-emma.html" target="_blank">Jesh & Emma</a></span></span><br />
