Locals Only

Below is a selection of photo’s from Hugh Holland’s Locals Only exhibition at M+B in Los Angeles. The images were taken in the mid-seventies and captures the beginning of skating before extreme sports and mass corporate sponsorship. Holland captured kids skating in pools and drainage bowls which were emptied due to a drought which allowed them to ride boards in a whole new way. The images were captured round Venice, Orange County and Brentwood’s Kenter Canyon Elementary School. Enjoy bare feet, long hair, sun-kissed skin, the innocence and the knee pads!

FUSE

Well my wish from the last post came true. So like most people in Scotland all that’s been on my mind for the last few days has been snow. Lots and lots of snow! I’m exhausted with excitement, so thought it seemed fitting that I post a tune that makes me equally happy. Enjoy

What’s a better ad for Scotland?!!!

Watch every minute of this video. It’s worth every second (the second one). This should be an advert for Scotland over that Sean Connery Home Coming drivel…

Advert one…

Or this…Danny MacAskill “Way Back Home”

It’s a no brainer really. What a legend.

Ludovico Einaudi

Last week I went to see a solo concert by Italian pianist Ludovico Einaudi at The Queen’s Hall in Edinburgh. It was beautiful, the soppy side of me came out near the end but ultimately it was the most relaxing 2 hours and quite hypnotic at times. Ahhh, I’d love to go again and see him with a full orchestra or even just a few strings. Einaudi’s work has been played LOADS on the tv recently due to his work being used for the sound track of Shane Meadows This is England ’86.

Since then all I can think about is learning to play the Piano. I played the trumpet at school and to my dad’s dismay I managed to leave the damn thing on the bus, so I’m figuring there will be no responsibility to cart a piano around, what could possibly go wrong!

For now, I have posted some pieces by Einaudi, I’ll start with one of my favorites and my old alarm ring, it’s a nice thing to wake up to.

One amazing musician down and 4 to go,(Gustavo Santaolalla, Hans Zimmer, Philip Glass and Yann Tiersen)

Is it a Lens? No! It’s a Mug!

For all you camera geeks out there this mug has to be the best way to drink a wee tea on a cold day. The mug looks just like a 24-105mm lens and is complete with a lens cap lid, rubber grip focus and zoom rings and an auto focus switch!! Maybe they’ll make some shot glasses out of a fixed 50mm lens. Anyway get your mug HERE for $24.00, that a whole £14.83 very well spent I think.
