I got an email on Friday to say that I’d been accepted for Made In The Shade, an indie craft market to be held at the The Lighthouse in Glasgow next month. I’ll be selling prints of my photographs, with all profits going towards my trip to Uganda this summer with Fields Of Life. It’s on the 24th May from 10:30am – 5:00pm, if you’re free come along and chat to me…
Bringing the creme of the city’s creative crop together for the first time, this event will showcase young design talent and encourage customers to relish in the exclusivity of the handmade one-off. These local designers, talented crafters and vintage lovers will present an unrivalled marketplace for handmade, quailty fashion and interior accessories, vintage clothing and retro wares and provide a brand new haven for seekers of all things stylish and eclectic – all of which are made in Glasgow!

I’m back in N. Ireland for a couple days to do some fundraising for my trip to Uganda this summer. Things are going well and I’m getting more excited! I’m having a coffee morning at my family house tomorrow morning (if you’re free come along!), heading back to Glasgow on Monday.
Spent yesterday in the sunshine in Belfast. Grabbed a quick lunch with a good friend and mentor, had coffee with another blogger friend, and generally just enjoyed sipping iced coffee in the sunshine at Common Grounds while reading (High Fidelity, if you’re interested). Spent the evening with Jill in good ol’ Ballymena.
More later… gotta go clean…

Ryan sent me a copy of the new Cobalt Season album, Fragile Iconoclast, which is launched on Friday. I’ve been listening to it all day today, and it is stunning. I’m gonna write a better review of it soon, but on first listen my favourite song is You & I. It’s an incredibly vulnerable song about pursuing ideals and being let down, about realising our limitations and yet still striving after ideals.
You can have a listen to a couple of the new tracks on their Myspace, but you should definitely order the CD/DVD – Travis from The Work of The People filmed the recording process, should be an interesting DVD!
Wanted to post the lyrics to You & I, because I am lovin’ it right now…
I’ve reached the end of my rope
Once again
And now and then
I find myself drifting
Hoping that you’d send me some hope
Or drop a line
Tell me I’m fine
Tell me I’m going somewhere
Oh, but as it stands just now
I sure don’t know
Which way to go
Which way is certain
And that’s thing with certainty
It’s got it’s hooks in me
Just won’t let me be
Let me be
BUT YOU AND I
BOTH ARE LOOKING FOR
AND WANTING SO MUCH MORE
THAN WE MIGHT EVER SEE
And if I saw that star
Shining bright
Walking at night
You know I’d run as fast as I can
And I’d send you a clue
Of what to do
So you won’t feel
Like I do
CAUSE YOU AND I
ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR
AND WANTING SO MUCH MORE
THAN WE MIGHT EVER SEE
They said, “Son, just let things be”
Oh, just let it be
And I used to be the one to point at hypocrites like me
But how the tables turn, how quickly this heart cannot feel
And I’ve grown tired of these memories, I’ve grown tired of these dreams
And I’m sick of hearing my own voice about things I’ll never be
And I need someone to renew my hope in a world I cannot see
As I open up these calloused hands thinking I might be set free
Set me free
[You & I by The Cobalt Season, from Fragile Iconoclast]

Off to Glencoe for the weekend to celebrate this ones 21st birthday. Rather excited about hanging out with this group of folks – about 30 of us heading away – and the potential for some dusk/evening wide-angle landscape light painting fun…!
