I've got my own Exhibition! (kind of!)
Through a fortuitous series of emails, the expenditure of rather a lot of money on half-decent frames, and, well… standing out in the cold for hours and hours in Leicester Square over the past 18 months…I now have 13 of my photos hanging in a sort of vestibule area leading to an in-house cafe at my old office.
Woo!

"Harry Brown" Premiere (Michael Caine!)
2 Premieres in 2 days in London town. And would you believe it: tomorrow (which at the time of posting = today) there’s a third. It’s for the new Twilight Film ‘New Moon’ and… ummm… I’m sorry. But there are some premieres I just can’t face. So I won’t be going to that.
But premieres for movies about old-agers turning to vigilantism?> I’m there.

"Call of Duty : Modern Warfare2" Premiere (yes... a computer game!)
Computer games: perhaps you’ve heard of them. Perhaps you’ve even played some. Or perhaps you kind of understand that when they sell for something like $US50 each and they sell several million copies they’re kind of a big industry. As in a _“based on the possible revenues you could justify a multimillion dollar development schedule and see the kind of revenues that would compare favourably with…
One Photo Per Day October 16th - November 5th
Well, it’s been another interesting set of twenty-ish days. Not too much in the way of travel, and I even used some non-celeb shots on days I also attended movie premieres. Getting soft, or getting nostalgic?
Here’s how it went down..

"Nowhere Boy" Premiere (Scott-Thomas! Taylor-Wood!)
Well, finally we’ve reached the end of the British Film Festival. Tonight’s closing Gala was for the young John Lennon biopic “Nowhere Boy”. Rumours were rife that the organisers were looking at getting some big names to show up – the surviving Beatles, Sir Elton John…. Clint Eastwood was in town doing filming, George Clooney had already been to three premieres why not a fourth, and of course…
"A Serious Man" Premiere (Coen - Hurt! Coen - Rush!)
You’re probably sick of yet another movie premiere journal entry… Actually, looking at the number of views these have been getting, that point was reached about a dozen premieres ago. (Oops!). But even so, I went to this one and photos were taken and I’m putting them out there. Besides, there were three academy award winners in attendance… so these guys were worthy

"Glorious 39" Premiere photos (Dr Who! Davy Jones! Girl with Spiky Hair!)
Do you remember back when it seemed that every premiere I went to featured a Tom Cruise or Charlize Theron or a Will...
One Photo Per Day, 26th Sept - 15th October
I’m way behind posting these, but that doesn’t mean I’m not still dutifully taking one photo per day. And if you’ll remember at the end of the previous instalment I’d returned from holiday, worn weird glasses, and photographed Michael Bolton. However would the next batch of 20-odd days compare, I hear…
"Chloe" Premiere (Moore! Seyfried! Reitman!)
Mere hours after a largely mixed photographic performance at the Dead Man Running Premiere I got a front(ish) row standing position at a second premiere, that for the movie “Chloe”.
The “Chloe” Premiere. Also known a…
"Dead Man Running" Premiere photos (50 Cent! Rio Ferdinand!)
Today was a rare evening indeed : not one but TWO premieres in Leicester Square! They were in two separate cinemas, and timed two hours apart. I was pretty sure I’d miss the first one and was happy to just see the second.
However, when I wandered down after work I found the first one just getting started. The only downside – it’s a cinema that’s not really geared up for premieres where ‘no…
