Another day working with KipperTie. While they filmed a charity golf day at Reading, I took stills which were used in a video presentation shown later that day when all the golfers had come in from the green for their sit-down meal. For the record, zooming about on a golf buggy is by far the best way to travel when you’ve got a lot of holes to cover!

Good news in my inbox: this photo will be on display at the Tate Modern until 2nd September!

I submitted the photograph of a cup of hot chocolate in the late afternoon light some time ago to the “How We Are Now” competition being run by the Tate Modern and Flickr. It has now been chosen as one of the final ten in the still life category.

The final 40 photos chosen by the judges will be shown in rotation on a flat screen in the museum as part of the “How We Are Now” exhibition. Even when that comes to an end on 2nd September the chosen photos will remain exhibited on the Tate’s website.

Hubert von Goisern is promoting his Linz Europe Tour 2007-2009 in eastern Europe and he’s flying from venue to venue in Red Bull’s DC-6B. To mark the trip, a photo of Hubert taken by me is adorning the side of the plane.
