We Are Obscure (and so it begins........ again)

Over lockdown pt1, I started carrying my camera out with me more, and taking pictures of things I noticed that I usually would just walk past and not see.  This has mainly been (but not restricted to) street art/graffiti.

I submitted one of my non-graffiti pictures to Claire - @so_she_smokes - and she picked it to appear in the first issue of her new quarterly zine Obscure Quarterly.  It's a superb collection of photography, poetry and short stories, and I'm proud to have one of my pictures included in it.

It will be out at the end of the month, but I strongly recommend keeping an eye on her Instagram account, and picking up a copy, when it comes out.  A great read, and it's been put together with a lot of care and thought.  It just looks great too.

 

Next on the reading list

I tend to multitask when it comes to reading books.  One by the bed, one for the commute (if I'm not cycling), and one in work to read at lunch.

The books being consumed at the moment are only two (I've just finished the bedside book and need to start a new one), and they are :-

Commuting book - The Tao Te Ching
Work book - The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch by Philip K Dick.

There's also a selection of Byrons poems in a pocket of the courier bag, that can get dug out if the mood takes me.

Tonight I'm off to karate in about an hour, and then home to veg.  Tomorrow night there's a Lucio Fulci double bill at the GFT (Glasgow arthouse/independant cinema), so I'm off there with a couple of friends while K goes to a classical concert I got free tickets for.
