Moving on...

It was an interesting experiment to see the amount of traffic that my last post generated. The subtle scent on the air of lavender, roses, jasmine and raw feminine flesh certainly has a draw for more than just the hungry. I wonder how many return invites I may get (Laughs). Hitomi is now taking pictures of ships in the harbor and children in the park and flowers finding spring as well as that crazy gurl that that you all come here to read about. Taking good pictures is an art and I see a lot of professional models take about fifty to sixty exposures and the photographer and art director will only choose ten to twelve between them. Getting something that looks natural and candid is an art form. I just point and shoot and hope something comes from it that I can crop and resize and throw online and try not to have heads chopped off and my fingers sticking in front of the lens and it has happened sometimes!

I managed to get in to see the Kobe collection on its last day, yesterday. It wasn't an official appointment but a borrowed pass from work, who are one of the many sponsors of this event, got me into the non public areas to meet up with a couple of friends who were doing the complete tour. The Kobe collection compared to others is a little on the reserved side and 'Kobe style' being quite unique. Although you get a lot of the major brands showing what they have for us this event always gives chance for the younger designers to give us a taste of what they have when it's difficult for them to finance a fashion show and attract any decent guest list independently. The last day usually pulls a big crowd to see the grand finale's but from my point of view this season's event did not enjoy the success of previous seasons if attendance is any measure. That's not to say it was a wash-out, don't see everything by extremes and learn to look in between. Last year even Shanghai in China got a taste of Kobe Style and filled their stores with our brands. This year the growth is slightly less but it is still there. Let's remain positive about the future.






















I have a couple of days to myself now before a heavy end of the week schedule and I make the most of that time by going to the gym and working that tummy of mine. I am also doing some of the domestic tasks that 'Miss-I'm-a-photographer-now' was doing in her free time so she won't feel like I've relegated her to a domestic assistant and part time lover.
Tonight we're finally going to get to see the movie 'Slumdog Millionaire' that did so well at the Oscars and see if all the rave reviews are well founded. My sister who has seen this movie already says it's one of the best she has seen for a long time. Once we leave the temple of doom we shall dance in the streets Bollywood style and go out and eat Indian food.

I'm still not quite happy about the blog page header. The Kitty-chan lilac motorcycle is a little too heavy in both weight and on the eye. I need a feel for something lighter and more... me!
I'll think about it. Any ideas and hints would be gratefully received.
My Last Supper picture has now hit 39 Downloads. Thanks for taking an interest guys (smiles).

I give my love to you all. Take care of yourselves and of course, each other!
