Piercing and fingers
*The perforation of the nipple to apply jewelry has been practiced by various people throughout history. Male nipple piercing was reported to be done by the Karankawa Native Americans, female nipple piercing is practiced by the Kabyle people in Algeria. In the western world it potentially dates back to the 14th century. The anthropologist Hans Peter Duerr traces the earliest known practice of female nipple piercing as a fashion statement to the Court of Isabeau of Bavaria (1370 to 1435), queen consort of France, quoting Eduard Fuchs he describes that:
…fashion eventually led to the application of rouge to freely display nipples placing diamond-studded rings or small caps on them, even piercing them and passing gold chains through them decorated with diamonds, possibly to demonstrate the youthful resilience of the bosom.
Here is Selina with her piercing.

A Pinhole in the Woods
I am so pleased with my decision to buy a pinhole camera (Zero Image 2000 6×6). These photos are the results of my third outing with the camera and this time with a roll of Ilford FP4 125 (Rodinal 9 minutes). My aim was to ignore emphasis on technical issues, concentrating instead on mood and presence. The learning curve with pinhole is steeper than I thought and that pleases me doubly for the challenge itself. If you have decided to view my photos here, then I hope you are pleased you came.
The greenhouse collection
Last autumn i finally got the opportunity to experiment within an old greenhouse which is in our garden. The windows are dirty and some broken. I wanted to use these defects to create some mystery. We used some spot lights to make hard shadows and reflections. It was after darkness and the temperature had dropped to about 5C so time was limited, however I am happy with the results and hope to do more shoots in the greenhouse before its renovated.
Model Lauren braved the cold and brought life to the images.
