Have been watching a lot of Hitchcock bits over the past couple of days. Watched an interesting if a little odd doco about him with Paul Merton, watched most of Mr & Mrs Smith and am currently watching The Birds. Didn’t catch ‘The Girl’, not keen on Sienna Miller, but have been reading all about his relationship with Tippi Hedren on the net - very strange. Love his films though. Will have to dig out Rear Window, which is my all time favourite Hitchcock film.

2012 Highlights from the Underground New York Public Library

Here are ten highlights from almost one thousand photographs that have become part of the UNYPL in 2012. Each photo posted in the library is beloved. The Reading-Riders have thoroughly inspired me, in their presence and in their act of transcendence. Photographing and interacting with them in the past year has impacted me as a photographer and as a person.To them, Thank you!

Sharing the UNYPL has been so rewarding. It became part of everyday to hear from those who were inspired in one way or another by the people in the photographs. I love the idea that we inspire each other, that we experience others and we become greater for it. Thank you to everyone who has liked, shared, responded and written over the past year. You helped me build this library and I’m looking forward to taking it into 2013.

New posts will begin after Jan. 1st. A Happy and fulfilling New Year to everyone!

My second favourite programme (after Mad Men) is finishing this Sunday - Homeland. It’s had it’s ups and lows, made me have my hands in front on many occasions, but been brilliant. Not going to scroll too far down the Homeland Tumblr feed as I know the finale’s been screened in the US and I want to wait until Sunday!
