3 of 5 from the 4 of 5 FW reunion
« on: July 08, 2007, 08:30:10 PM »
A momentous occasion took place in London today.  "What" ... I hear you cry - "The Wimbledon Final?", no ... "the first time the Tour De France has hurtled through London and Kent?" .... nope, guess again

Today was the Filmwasters 2-yearly partial reunion.  Mark Skorji, Damion Rice and Leon Taylor met by the Photographers Gallery near Leicester Square, grabbed some lunch and coffee in a nearby cafe, got talking so much that they totally forgot to actually go inside the gallery.  They then invaded Ed Wenn's house (much to the dismay of his wife, little daughter and several days old Son).  We drank Battersea Brewery beer and wasted tons of polaroid film - lots more of that to come, but for now, here's a shot of (L to R) Damion, Leon and Ed taken by Skorj (I should have said I'm the one with the hair).



Unfortunately, there was a Burnstine shaped hole throughout the day - hope you can make it next time Susan.

Thanks to Jacqui, Amy and Joe for letting us invade your home for the afternoon - and Ed and Jacqui - congrats on the birth of little Joe (I keep wanting to call him Ben Wenn - that would have been excellent).

Leon, perhaps you should invest in a bald cap for such occasions ;-).

Great shot!
Good to see your bright, shiny faces guys. :)
Sad I couldn't be there.
Next time for sure! If not sooner. :)

Hugs to all,
Susan

Nice snap indeed! Damion and I are just off to meet Mrs Skj and Skj Jnr for lunch and then head over to Vauxhall with Skj hisself for a spot of photo fun near some old gasworks he spied from a tube train yesterday.

In the meantime Damion and I started the Great POP Experiment, but dev times seem to be a bit long under the London sun, so we're going to have to leave it baking while we go out. Doh!!!

wow, just got home after an amazing couple of days.

much fun and great to be able to hook up with 3 of the f/w crew.  Also a treat to hook up with the family skorji.   next mission is to get all 5 of us together again...and get drunk.

just wish leon would stop photoshopping shiny bits onto my head in pictures.......tut tut

Damion has a little bottle of baby oil in his camera bag. Every time he's about to be photographed he whips out the oil and rubs some into his head.

Very Isaac Hayes. Very Hot Buttered Soul. Very disturbing.

Good thing about Type-665, is you can give the pos to someone to Photoshop shiny bits, and you can keep the neg. This one has been processed using my special technique of scanning after moisturizing my hands and handling using rubber gloves I used to change the oil on the cat...
