Today, I went out for a walk round Ogden Reservoir (near Halifax) and took a lot of pictures. Here’s my favourite shot of one of the amazing wind turbines you can find there.
Depth of Field
My entry for the Depth of Field Photo Friday challenge. This is one of the very first pictures I ever took. For some reason I like it a lot. I think it’s the amazing blue and the white typeface.
Last LIMA gig of 2005
Just come back from the Cardigan Arms where LIMA presented their last gig of 2005. I had the pleasure of discovering the incredible talent of Paul Dunmall, Paul Rogers & Philip Gibbs. What a treat this was! LIMA presented these guys as a “world class improv trio” and I have to agree 100%. Great stuff.
We also got to see a short set by Kane/Sharkey/deBezenac. I don’t think I’ll ever get fed up of these guys. Their music just gets better and better. Both trios joined forces for an amazing finish. All in all an evening of the highest quality.
Apparently, the next LIMA event will be in February. Thanks for a great Autumn season! Can’t wait for what’s coming up next year.
Experimental
My entry for the Experimental Photo Friday challenge. If I remember correctly, this was taken at night from a cab.
Slippery Pond Edge
Next in my signs series: Slippery Pond Edge. Taken at Hyde Park in London.
Yellow
A bit boring maybe for a yellow challenge but I don’t have a lot of yellow photos so there. I like it.
Imperfection
Took this picture on a pond side. The crack makes it imperfect…
Big Air: Outstanding
I’m back. Big Air was excellent. Jim Black was outstanding and entertaining as always. Oren Marshall made some mad sounds with his tuba. Myra Melford played some amazing piano solos. Here are some photos:
Jim Black tonight!
OK, I’m excited. Jim Black is back in Leeds and I’m going to see him. I’m getting ready as I type. This will be the fourth time I see Jim Black in Leeds! He’s been amazing every time so I’m really looking forward to tonight’s gig. Check this space for some photos (hopefully not as blurry and dark as my latest gig pics).
Minghe Morte’s Requiem
Here’s my only photo of last week’s Minghe Morte gig at the Fenton.
Maybe due to the nasty weather, the turnout was very low which impacted quite a lot on the atmosphere. Minghe Morte‘s music was again full of raw energy. Chris Bussey‘s drumming seems to get better and better every time I see him. One major disappointment (apart from the tiny audience): the sound ruined a lot of the performance. It sounded like a massive reverb was drowning most of the subtleties that make Minghe Morte so great.
I also saw Rumple Bombaclaat vs Don’t Lick the Knife. As laptop gigs go, this was pretty good with a few real gems emerging from the general chaos of noise generated by the 2 PowerBooks.
