This is a front version of Undo, a photo from 2015. I had a hard time posting that one, I thought the front shots were just too much at that time. Too much belly, too many rolls, etc. But looking back through, they are OK. It doesn’t make me cringe so much to look at … [Read more…]
I wrote this for @CharlieInThe’s ultimate summer playlist competition. I thought I saw her tweet that as long as she got it by morning it would still count. By my (occasionally inaccurate) count, it’s 5:00am in the UK right now so… fingers crossed. If I missed the deadline, that’s OK, it was a good exercise … [Read more…]

My submission for @EA_unadorned’s birthday contest. “It’s my birthday!” I blurt, then blush. Oh my god, why did I just say that out loud? How pathetic can you get? Hi cute bartender, it’s my birthday and I am sitting here drinking alone. Business trips on your birthday are not that fun. I wish I at … [Read more…]
