The day before the wedding was mainly spent either relaxing in the pool at the hotel or down in the town square at Bar Eugenio for lunch. We then had a party at Las Musas in the evening which went on into the morning. Photos can be found by clicking on this photo.
The food at Las Musas was excellent and Tom dragged me away from the party at about 4am. Which was probably wise. We then jumped in the pool to cool off which probably wasn’t so wise but did the trick.
Uncle Denis made it back to the hotel at about 5 after winning the dance off with cousin Paul. Rumour has it he then went for a swim but thats unconfirmed.
This is one of my favourite public art installations. I don’t know why. I think it’s because it’s off the beaten track. the area was busier when Cream was running but these days it’s quite quiet.
For me these were the stars of the Capital of Culture year. The Superlambananas were a lot of fun. The day before they were auctioned off most of them were herded onto St Georges Plateaux. Here are my photos of them.
I decided to shoot a series of doors in Liverpool. I started with some of the doors of the old bank buildings which are really impressive but ended up wandering round some of the back streets where the doors obviously have story to them but it’s not as obvious.
When La Machine came to town we had the best and worst of Liverpool. People really enjoyed themselves, thousands turned out to support the event and see what was going on despite poor weather.
Then we had ridiculously over officious ‘security’ who were telling people that children couldn’t be carried on their parents shoulders as it was dangerous. They were threatening some people with involving the police. As if some offence has been committed. One group of people had waited for an hour and a half on a raised area and the ‘security’ guys let them stay there until about 5 minutes before the spider arrived. By which point they could no longer get a decent view from anywhere. I’m usually reasonably compliant with event organisers but the guys hired by Liverpool council are tossers.
This is another great piece of public art in Liverpool. This is on Moorfields and is called Turning the Place Over. It’s part of this years Biennial. It’s wierd but somehow quite cool. Why? Is all the springs to mind.
As part of our holiday this summer we went to Phuket.
Where we hired a moped. With that moped we ran out of petrol in the middle of nowhere, were stopped by the police and fined for not having a license, we visited the worst waterfall ever and we got engaged whilst driving down the beach road in a monsoon.
