6. Neverliveduptothemyth

7. Romeo Moment
Red mist descends - Oil painting by Louisa Marshall
8. Hope Springs
Hope Springs, area of outstanding natural beauty - photographed by Doug.
9. Last Forever
From a short film by Ben Merryfield. Notice the Butterfly motif - nothing last forever (especially those things that enter pupal stages and then emerge later).
10. Wait In The Wings
The photograph took 1/60th of a second to take, and about 4 hours to set up by Andy as he slipped on the baby lotion that covered the floor as it dripped from the sculpture under the studio lights. He learned that sawing a doll’s head off is immensely satisfying though. We suspect this is something he shall one day be recounting on a couch at £40 per hour.
11. Nothing Left To Lose
…THIS is going on in the bathroom. Sarah cleans away, after a jon well done. Self Portrait.
