One Photo Per Day (9th - 28th Mar)
When I last posted one of these I was still in Germany, skiing and apres-skiing with my rockstar friends and their glamorous groupies (I may be making a couple of things up there, but not the German and skiing bits), and that’s where we take things up.
March 9th. It kept snowing overnight and then the wind stopped for hours, meaning that the views of snow on branches were extra-awesome toda…
"What to Expect... premiere. Cameron Diaz! Cheryl Cole!"
Okay, so I’m a guy and this movie is not exactly on the short-list of films I’m desperate to go and see. Not while I still have to watch ‘Inception’ five or six more times…. and each of the two Chris Nolan Batman films three or four times to prepare myself for the third film, out in July…. Hell, I might even be convinced to watch Piranha 3DD, or Snow White and …
Men In Black 3 premiere - Smith! Brolin! Scherzinger!
Luck can be a funny thing. I got to the premiere and was marched into a position in a public pen so bad that I decided to bail and stand by the road. Then I attempted to find a space in a pen that looked fantastic, but was kicked out because they were keeping it one deep… until they later made it FOUR deep and filled it with people who arrived after I did. So I found my spot, side on the En…
Snow White & The Huntsman Premiere - Theron! K-Stewz! Hemsworth!
Maybe it’s a story about a larger than usual spider in the Dwarves’ house. I don’t know. All I do know is that it’s got Charlize Theron in it.
What kind of world do we live in where Charlize Theron is cast as an evil witch? Serial killer or Monkey psychologist, sure. But a witch?
A top line to warm the heart. It was a world Premiere, and I had a decision to make : photogra…
One Photo Per Day (19th Feb - 8th Mar)
When I last posted one of these , I’d photographed Brad Pitt at the BAFTAs and Judi Dench at a premiere it had snowed in St Albans (twice!) and in an attempt at “Art” photographed the same view of the same building twice with different cameras.
How could the next couple of instalment possibly be any better, I hear you ask?
Meatloaf. That’s how 8)
Feb 19th. Low Tide at…
The Dictator Premiere - General Admiral Aleed of Wadiya!
By way of background, I liked Ali G and thought Borat was excellent. However, Bruno left me somewhat cold (and that not because I’m Austrian!). The Bruno premiere was fun, though
But according to paid advertisements festooned on the front and back page of today’s Metro, this film is meant to be funny. Well, if nothing else I had hopes for the premiere…
I’m reasonably sure …
Dark Shadows Premiere - Depp! Burton! Bonham Carter! etc!
So it’s another Tim Burton / Johnny Depp premiere. I’ve had limited luck photographing them separately OR together at the same event prior to this. And of course they’re not exactly unpopular And it’s at Leicester Square, which means it’s big. And then it started raining.
“What if my skin isn’t pale enough and Johnny Depp says something about it? I’…
Safe premiere - Jason! Statham!
Back when Trey Parker and Matt Stone made “Team America World Police” they claimed that Alec Baldwin was the greatest actor In The World. Now, that served a comedic purpose, sure, but had they thought about it, they would almost certainly have felt very silly having forgotten about one man.
Jason Statham.
Aw. Yeah.
But I hadn’t forgotten. And, sure, I might have said that after …
Outside Bet premiere - Atack! Drive! Maza!
Somewhere between photographing Scarlett Johansson and The Cast of Marvel’s Avengers ….; and Kate Middleton the Duchess of Cambridge and the African Cats premiere there was another premiere. Not a major one, and not the enticingly-titled “Strippers vs Werewolves” (which would have been a sight to see…), but another premiere, a Comedy called “Outside Bet”…
One Photo Per Day (28th Jan - 18th Feb)
Hello, and it seems that I’m now almost a quarter of a year behind posting these, and last time I did it was just after new year and the journal involved Steven Spielberg, Lana Del Rey, Batman (!), Space Invaders and even Me . How could the next three weeks ever compare (and how can I rack my memory enough to make comments on any of them?)
Jan 28th. So the British DO have some kind of patri…
