Elliot House

Elliot, originally uploaded by osborne villas.

I promised myself I’d try and blog more often, so the very small number of people who follow me, have something to follow. I’d also promisd myself I’d write about stuff that mattered a bit, and not just post flickr stuff all the time, which is a cop out. fail on all fronts, I think this is because I’m a visual person. i have this friend Martin, he’s a poet, a proper published one with books and that, I like poetry and words and reading and that, but what I’ve realised whilst talking to Martin is that when he listens to music he likes the words, which is why he likes people like Randy Newman, whereas I’m just as likely to listen to Mogwai which has no words or some random drum and bass which has samples from a gangster film in it or some weird old 80s new wave stuff which is shouty. the conclusion I came to was that, i like a whole sound, rather than bits of a sound, or the words behind it. I think I’m a bit like that with what I do, which is design and what my hobbies are (for there are many) most of which involve taking something and processing it in some way to make it look a bit like how I want it to be. sometimes I see the words, sometimes I don’t.

anyway I wrote all that and didn’t mention the photo above once, which is Elliot House in Norwich, which I’m quite pleased with.
