The Things I Do For Love
They asked me about dating and relationships and here's what happened when they couldn't shut me up.
I'm particularly pleased with the lingering image left by the freeze frame at the end.

You can count the edits in this video on the fingers of one finger. I spoke for eight minutes and forty five seconds without stopping. Yes, there is that much wrong with me.I'm particularly pleased with the lingering image left by the freeze frame at the end.

The Things We Do For Love
The Things We Do for Love was a documentary made by George Blackstone and Alex Gollner on Vimeo. Interviewing over fifty people aged between 17 and 87.
I should warn you that there is one example of swearing. I know, it's appalling isn't it? I was enormously proud to discover it was me. What are the odds? Well, 1 in more than 50, I suppose.

Four Doors Down

And that's another thing, they say a picture is worth a thousand words. Whoever the 'they' are. Well this photo already tells a story, it doesn't need a narrative imposed on it by some outside influence.
I really struggled writing this piece. My first attempt with a different photo was less than impressive. So I went back to the drawing board and tried to ignore the inspiration. That's right, in spite of the reasons above, I tried to put it out of my mind completely and start from scratch.

I just made it up.
I started at the top and worked down. Sometimes I had specific questions in mind, sometimes not. Then I sent it off thinking it probably needed another re-write but as always there was no time. For there to be time enough for rehearsals, time enough for line learning and as it turned out time enough for the writer to forget most of contents.
I sat with the audience not entirely sure what was happening. The girls took their places on stage armed with cigarettes, pringles and dressing gowns that I wish I'd thought of.
The cast from left to right: Nicola Young, Catherine Kirk, Louisa Chadderton and Amy Palmer.
These last two photos were taken by Clare Breheny who also submitted some really great photos for In The Frame.

Desperation Dog
So safe in the knowledge that it isn't, I took this photograph. I like photography. I don't really know what I'm doing, it's guesswork.
This photo was the In The Frame inspiration for the Desperation Dog scene written by Gi Lewis.
Nobody will have noticed it, however because it was like justifiably upstaged by the best cardboard puppetry I have ever seen.
