Here's the rest of the interview with Bailey plus some of the ads we managed to get. The magazine was very much inspired by Andy Warhol's 'Interview' (yes, photographed and interviewed him for the magazine too) and Bailey and David Litchfield's 'Ritz Newspaper'.

I went to interview and photograph Bailey for the magazine. I had already discovered 'Goodbye Baby & Amen' and 'Box of Pin Ups' and was a big fan. Not sure Bailey was too impressed with me and my Olympus camera. He got his assistant to stick up a light for the photo. But he did say, "Perry Ogden, that's a good name for a photographer". 

See today's newsletter from IDEA Books on the one off magazine 'Lipstick' I produced with my friend and co-editor Rory Phillips in our last year at Eton!

Just back to find copies of D La Repubblica with LA families story. Love this pic of Sybil Buck and her daughter Puma.

Here's another spread from one of the Hackett albums. These images were shot in Kenya.  All the prints were handmade. I remember spending a couple of weeks in London making the prints and soaking them in various baths of tea and coffee, and experimenting with other ways of staining. Once we've finished photographing these albums I will put them up on the website project page.

Just been photographing some of the Hackett photo albums I made with Jeffrey Miller back in the mid-Eighties. This was a limited edition of approx 200 handmade photo albums - in three different sizes - that we produced for Hackett. Picture above is from one of the large size albums which had four pictures on a page. Every single album was different. We shot in England, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Kenya and Yosemite National Park, California. Wonderful project. Shame the few albums I had were all nicked!

Only just discovering Miss Lily's  - purveyor of all things Jamaican - on Houston and Sullivan, having had dinner there last night. Great food in the restaurant, great juices in the bake shop/Melvin's juice box and cds, t-shirts, books etc in the shop. Plus in-house DJ Max Glazer. Here's a picture of Sista Natty with a copy of Bunny Yeager's 'Camera in Jamaica'.

Tuesday morning in Bushwick...

Working with the beautiful Kate B who tells me she was discovered at the bus station in the small town where she's from in Russia and that it's three hours by bus plus eighteen hours by train from Moscow!

Looking for locations in Bushwick.
