Best flamenco documentary

Look at this amazing flamenco documentary I found. I don't know what any of the words are, but look at the pictures. It's so nice.



I love flamenco. Our friend Matt we went to Uni with plays flamenco guitar amazingly so the sound takes me back a bit to sitting on his bed in a tiny room in halls, generally being stinky asses.
We went to see him play at Kings Place last year and it blew my socks off. There was a dancer too, who came on stage wearing his cuban heels and his dangerously synthetic, proper fire hazard trousers all up high on his snakey hips. (I'm just not used to noticing mens hips so much, it's a strange feeling). Jack and I exchanged a sideways smirk because he to our uninitiated eyes he looked like a berk.
But when he danced it was just amazing! So frickin' hot - jeepers! Flamenco dancing is just awesome, I want to go see more.

John Craske's

Beautiful embroideries from John Craske - a sailor who could no longer go to sea. He would embroider because, unlike painting, he could do it lying down in bed. Incredible huh?




From the archive

Posting things back on this blog is making me feel all nostalgic and I ended up perusing all my old photos . . . and deleting a few, I won't lie.
Here is a nice little pair I dug up - each taken quite a while apart but that complement each other beautifully no? Photographing mirrors is a strange challenge.
