Isabella Blow is dead


It was such a shock to read of her death yesterday; a sad loss for the world.

Described as a ‘vibrant and often outrageous presence’ on the fashion scene, she was credited for discovering Alexander McQueen and Philip Treacy. Anna Wintour, a former boss of hers, said, "I don't think she ever did my expenses, but she made life much more interesting."

She was only 48. Reports said she had been diagnosed with ovarian cancer.

It’s strange. I have only a vague interest in fashion, and didn’t even know what a milliner was before hearing and seeing Isabella Blow.

But even so, she inspired me. Unique. Different. Artistic. At great expense.

A mate of mine said that, if you look around you today, whether you hold company with artists, geeks, doctors, mums, jocks, gays, lesbians – whatever – it’s easy to see how we’ve easily become carbon copies of one another. Even in our quest for individualism.

So, Isabella was an original. What a woman.

To say that I’d love to be like her would be … ironic. But I hope you know what I mean.

Trigger finger

It's been quiet in these here parts... but the camera has been earning it's worth.

Check out some new photo's on my Flickr pages. Highlights include happenings on Kammenstraat, hidden beauties of Antwerp and a trip to the surprisingly beautiful Zeeland.

It was here where this image was captured; a homeage to baked beans and flight, quite possibly in that order.
