... and a good evening was had by all.

Friday 19 Octopber 2012, step Behind the Masque and enter a sparkling world where nothing is as quite what it seems. The fourth RBS Museum Lates event saw the National Museum of Scotland transformed into a mysterious, magical world, with a Russian flavour to compliment their Catherine the Great exhibition.

With live acts, DJ sets, cabaret, film screenings, spoken word performances, art installations and more, this was the Museum as you'd never seen it before.

New developing obsession. Shop windows.

Been taking a few of this building lately. Great subject, that is worth looking at in different lighting conditions. This morning the sun was bouncing of the rendered building adjacent that meant that the glass of the curved wall was ultra reflective.

Saturday morning

First time for a number of weeks that I've been out with the DSLR. Wander about the centre of the city. Some good shots. Picked up a copy of "The man who shot Gardo, The Holywood Photographs of Clarence Sinclair Bull" for £8 in a second hand bookshop. Brilliant.

Edinbrgh Jazz & Blues Festival 2012

Back to the 60s, when jazz, funk and soul seamlessly turned into popular music.

Featuring Subie Coleman’s sultry, soulful singing getting right inside the classy songs that were classics in the sweaty basement clubs and hot dance clubs, Colin Steele leads an exceptional six-strong band. Funky bass and irresistable blues groove, this is great party music for listening and dancing.
