snap!

The rain held off just long enough for our photo-group to do a little work outside the MAC.

the foundations

We're really looking forward to having new neighbours opposite. Work has now begun and they've very kindly given me permission to photograph the building project.

Here's the foundations being put in for the new extensions.

Jemimah wears a mature head on such young shoulders - she turns nineteen in just a few days time.  Her mother is a Cypriot and her father an Englishman. Already she has traveled to or lived in many different countries.

I met Jeminah during a recent Pride march and she kindly agreed to a photo-shoot around Birmingham where she's currently studying for a degree in arts and design. As well as being part of the LGBT community, Jemimah is a member of the University's burlesque group.  A former ballet dancer she finds in burlesque a means to express and explore her persona.

In search of suitable backdrops we visit a coffee shop, the grounds of Birmingham cathedral, a set of old-fashioned telephone boxes squirreled away in one of the quieter thoroughfares, the Edwardian tea-room in Birmingham Cathedral and the roof garden which tops the new library.
