Home Alone

I spend a lot of time at home alone in London, working and eating and working and sleeping. This is the view from my flat. Over the last 2 weeks there have been loads of fireworks going off. Over last weekend there was a period of about 4 hours where they were going off left right and centre, some felt like they were just metres from my bedroom window! Quite an experience although it wore off and I continued on with my work. I have been working very hard, just finished 3 new music videos. Also have spent a long time researching and trying to find 11 year olds here in London







I am hoping to hear back from Autistic society tomorrow. Its difficult getting through to the right people at schools here so I set out on foot again today, kid hunting with various funny results. I met 2 boys as they run in front of a truck. I have a VERY good radar after 2 years of scouring the world for 11 year olds, I am a pretty good guess. He was indeed 11 but his friend was very sceptical and he whispered to his friend |"i am going to be the responsible one here and not talk to the stranger" Michael replied "yahhh I am going to be on TV!!!!!!!" and his friend whispered something else and Michaels eyes lit up and he handed back my paperwork and squeeled I dont wanna do this anymore! I told him I was legit and to give the forms to his parents and get in contact if they are all interested, he snatched the forms back and apologised and ran faster than the wind. AY ay ay I would like to know what the other boy said to him!

Its true this would be harder if I was a man, but I am not. And I am pretty sick of people who make peodophile jokes as well.. Friends joke, oh you better stop saying you are looking for kids. Its silly really I dont like those sort of cheap jokes... anyhoo!

Tomorrow night I am heading to a junior boxing school in the East end to meet 11 yr old boys there. So, fingers crossed by this time next week I will have one on board! Actually this time next week I will have a French kid in front of my lens! Cant wait, South of France is a tiny bit warmer and hopefully a great new challenge.
Then back to London then Morocco with Henrik! YAH! We are shooting at a school for the blind and doing some photography work!
