These images are taken from a small German fairytale book that I found in a charity shop. I picked it up purely for these pictures as they are beautifully done but quite macarbe. I just wish I could read the stories. I think my personal favourite is the fish man beacuse of its gorgeous illustration and shadowing. Also the flying bearded man; the wings are just stunning!

War of the Roses
I am often inspired to photograph places, people and objects, and the photography itself inspires me further. I was particularly interested in taking these images because of the endless layers that the flowers are made up of. I began to picture such structures being made of paper, of glass and of steel to, on one hand emphasise the delicate nature of the roses, and, in the last instance, to contradict their nature entirely. Of course, these are mere ideas, but it gives an example of how a simple photograph can be the beginning of a new concept or project.

Vintage
Just found a lovely site listing many shops in Brighton that sell vintage and retro clothing, bric-a-brac and interior bits, AND a list of up-and-coming events dedicated to vintage in the area. Must take a trip to lovely Brighton soon!
