Spring quick update

Saturday, April 3rd, 2010

A brief update as spring is upon us (you know, when it gets colder again, Tfl threatening storms, too much chocolate..) with a sample of what I’ve been working on recently.

The Music Video is on its way and we’re working on the editing, here is a snapshot from the shoot.

Another successful start-up in front of my lens, JogPost is an original new company in West London for the distribution of leaflets made by.. joggers! The result being a faster delivery, better paid employees that get healthier doing it, not bad at all I say, no surprise their phone keeps ringing all the time.

In music a few new shoots, I posted a “summary of previous episodes” on my Loudpixels Blog including Suede’s first show in years at the 100 Club, Tangerine Dream at the Royal Albert Hall and I would note a big night at the O2 Arena with some of the biggest legends of Soul and Motown, The Four Tops, The Temptations, The Three Degrees and The Drifters. The following photo was taken by The Three Degrees’ manager in my failed attempt to join the band with Cynthia Garrison, Valerie Holiday and Helen Scott of Three Degrees  ;) .

And last but not least the big exhibition in France approaches, the Images En Scène festival at the Photomusicales De La Roche Posay on April 23, 24 and 25 where I’ll be exhibiting 50 large prints from my Loud Pixels collection, live and portraits, from Nana Mouskouri to Rihanna, from The Rolling Stones to The Maccabees, thanks to the sponsors Rainbow Color in Paris and EPSON’s Digigraphie label.

A ballad of 2 Macs

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

My MacbookPro, although pretty new, is acting slow. I decided to do a “clean install”, erasing the hardrive and reinstalling Snow Leopard. I imagined reimporting only my important settings like emails, address book etc would be ultra easy but it’s not and searches through the web, apple and non-apple sites, did not give any simple answer. So after wasting too much of my day on this I decided to reinstall and migrate my old backup in from time machine, as most answers found on the web are advising. But it didn’t leave much option and just brought back everything, mess included. Now I find myself as I was before, like taking a shower and putting your dirty clothes again. Anyone knows the secret of the true clean install without losing your email, address book, itunes account etc etc?

This was for the techie Mac, now for a far more sweet Mac, the musician one. Absolute Radio session at the Hard Rock Café with Amy MacDonald last night.

Love!

My first proper post is all about Love, Courtney that is, which I was commissioned to photograph last night for the first show of the band Hole in UK for 11 years. A great moment considering I am a big fan and have been since early 90’s during the infamous grunge period. That was an awesome show and the crowd was vibrant of emotion. Courtney looked superb and did a show with her heart so that was a great come back for all the lucky ones we were in the intimate Shepherds Bush Empire. The images can be seen in my music photography gallery on Flickr and I already added my favourite to the collection of this site.
