Art

TONIGHT, I attended a nude-photography workshop at the Forbes Hotel. It wasn't actually 'nude', the model (a lovely French holidaymaker) only went topless. I wasn't there to brush up on my camera skills, though - I went along to meet the organiser, who I'll be profiling for a magazine article. Her husband was a famous French snapper, and she's had a lot of success in her own right.

But back to the workshop...

I'd never been upstairs at the Forbes, but I'd like to go back. The theme of the evening was 'Pigalle 1900', and the room was perfect - all red velvet and gold (OK, maybe brass) chandeliers. There was even an accordion player in period costume! Tres cool! My friend, who's a professional commercial photographer, really enjoyed it and got some great shots. It's almost inspired me to break out my old Praktica camera...
