thaumatrope

ooh... i really want to make a thaumatrope..... I cant remember what film it is when he is obsessively playing with one.... but my mangled memory has an image of someone spinning one in the back of a car.... anyway then are so adorable, in particular these old images i found to use on them.

I love that any image can be used, although birds seem to be the most popular there are also jockeys on horses, dogs looking at cats up trees... anything!

Tatoo's

I have been considering getting a tatoo for as long as i can remember but have always wimped out due to the 'its there forever' implications! also when i eventually do get married/am invited to the oscars/some other super glam event i dont want my outfit ruined by tatoos..... however, these lovely bird images are swaying me..... maybe across the ankle... or the bottom of my back....

The other side of the fair

As i mentioned.. fairgrounds can so easily become scary (is it only IT and the point horror books that have caused this!!? im sure some scooby doo ghosts originated in fairgrounds!)

obsession

I have a bit of an unhealthy obsession with all things fairground... candy floss, popcorn, rides...i think it is the bygone glamour, associations with the seaside (well brighton and blackpool!) and also the ease in which the images can become quite creepy...
so i thought i'd share a few of my favourite recent images...

Most can be found on fotodecadent but just msg me if you want credits as i have them all somewhere!!

H&M love

roll on autumn winter.. I am in love with this Hennes coat!

irini irini
