Today's thoughts 2

It pays to always have your camera with you, I missed a fantastic shot as I drove past a field of sheep today. There was one sheep standing onto of a mound of earth surrounded by the rest of the flock at the bottom. This would have been such a brilliant photo which I would have called either 'Queen of the flock' or 'Preaching to the flock'....sadly I drove on by without my Nikon :(

There have been some really fantastic photo's on the BBC's website this week by photographer 'Tom Wood' titled Tom Wood's Men and Women.

These pictures are taken in the 1970s (when I was just a wee child), around Merseyside and are a bit of social documentary of the time. The exhibition is currently running at the Photographer's Gallery in London.

This photo is called 'Not Miss New Brighton' from 1978/79 was shot on Kodak VPS film and slightly soft focus. I like the slightly jumbled balance and composition as it adds to the whole feel of the picture. The dated notion of 'chic' is emphasised with the colourings.
