A great day Thursday saw me rocking up to the JW Marriott’s Grosvenor House in Park Lane carrying the quasi totality of my studio, with the help of the lovely Nicky, fellow photographer, for a shoot with some true music legends before they kick off their European tour, Motown’s best The Four Tops and The Temptations. They will be back in London on the 26th for a big show at the O2 Arena, joined by the Drifters and The Three Degrees, closing a UK Arena tour.

Oh and by the way, Min-Kyu Choi’s Folding Plug, featured on my last blog entry and who I photographed last week, has won the Product category of the Brit Insurance Design Of The Year Award 2010! You can see the other category winners on the Wired site, with late Alexander McQueen’s Spring/Summer ‘10 collection posthumously winning the fashion award, not for sentimental reason by the way but because it is stunning. The overall winner will be announced on March 16th.
No photos this weekend, plus given I just got a bit older I kind of expect my head will be sour in the morning…
. And then up for another exciting week!
