    Photo #14 This shot features in the new issue of 1883 accompanying the piece Lewis wrote. We took this picture like two London Fashion Week seasons ago in the Trafalgar Hotel where our media partner had a chill out suite for the weekend. Lewis was feeling kinda acrobatic after some champagne and was literally bouncing round the room when I took this shot. Back then, it was like I was Lewis’ official photographer. I’ve lost track of how many pictures I have of him at this stage. All of them are hilarious.

    Photo #13 Recently rediscovered this shot I took of my friend Joe’s band Two Wounded Birds on my computer while doing the obligatory shuffle of material onto my external hard drive.  We took snaps in and around Barfly right before their gig that night, which included at one point being photo bombed by some homeless guy. Then afterward, the band hopped back on their tour bus while Hannah and frolicked around Camden. That sure was a fun Tuesday.

    Photo #10 This is Lindsay. She’s the Fashion Coordinator at 1883 and has also become the magazine’s resident model on Instagram. Should a hilarious item of clothing/accessory be delivered to the office, she’s the one donning it first while someone whips out their iPhone. Lindsay has amazing hair too. She does nothing to it and yet everyday appears like she’s just walked out of filming for a L’Oréal hair ad. Cue random bouts of singing “I whip my hair back and forth” (actions included), all once again in honor of the camera.

    Photo #9 When we went to The Great Escape in Brighton the other weekend, the last interview we did on the Friday was with the very beautiful and talented Rae Morris, right before her gig at The Warren. The sun was setting at the time and relishing in the beauty of it all, we avoided the venue for the interview and opted for the beach instead. Naturally, it called for an impromptu photo session too.

    Photo #8 I shot this by the hotel pool in LA a couple months back. Seems ages ago now. 1883 Fashion Editor Filippo was simply not amused…

    When Aideen met Moby.

    Photo #7 A month prior to 1883’s LA trip, we randomly discovered that the legend that is Moby has a penchant for architecture. So much so, he curates his own architectural blog: www.mobylosangelesarchitecture.com . Intrigued by the idea, we decided to approach him to see if he’d be interested in doing an interview with us for the new issue. He was. Fast forward a couple weeks later and Logan, Jay and I are walking through the gates of his castle in the Hollywood Hills. Quite possibly one of the most beautiful homes I’ve ever been in. Setting up in the pool house, I interviewed Moby on the subject of his favourite architectural discoveries in LA while the boys filmed. He spoke so articulately and with so much passion on the topic, we probably could have filmed for hours. Alas, we’d just an hour slot. As Logan snapped some portraits of Moby, we gazed out at the beautiful views from his pool house window. Clearly wowed by them, Moby then brought us up the climb in his back garden that led to a raised platform, allowing sweeping panoramic views of the entire city. Instantly clocking the Hollywood sign and unable to disguise my inner tourist, I whipped out my Lomo camera to take a picture. Just as a was about to snap a photo, Moby suggested I get in the picture and he take it. Should have been a nice shot really. Sadly, the wind decided to hit me in the face just as he pressed the button. Needless to say, I won’t be posting that unflattering baby any time soon. But here’s the one I took of Moby. He’s way more photogenic than I am anyways.

    Last weekend, team 1883 hopped a train to Brighton for fun and frolics by the sea for the Great Escape Music festival. There, the first thing we did was rock up to Beyond Retro Brighton where we were filming the first of our festival sessions with St. Lucia. After playing a sweet acoustic performance of Closer Than This, the guys then rounded up the appearance with a full in-store set.

    Fast forward 6 days later and I’m back in London and I’m seeing them for the 2nd time in less than a week. At CAMP in Old Street, they played one stonking good set. Sure the sound was a bit dicey at some parts, but all is forgiven thanks to the incredible atmosphere their on-stage performance produced. St. Lucia is going to go far.

    All I say is- PLAY MORE FESTIVALS THIS SUMMER! I can’t imagine a better sound more suited to the occasion.

    I’ve been a bad blogger.

     From now on, I’m going to try at least one new post a day. Huzzah. ;)

    Photo #6 LA was cool. I liked the sunshine. It was warm enough to go without a jacket but not hot enough that I’d burn. So being Irish and all, that suited me down to the ground. I met some weird and wonderful people out there. Changed my perception on a couple things and inspired me creatively a whole lot too. The only thing I don’t miss is the fact you’d to drive everywhere. I like being able to take off whenever I please and being right beside a tube stop here London. So in that sense, I’m glad to back in London and not having to rely on anyone to get places. All I need is my trusty oyster card and the world (London) is my… well, oyster.
