Ok… I admit this is getting silly now…but as requested “825 photographs in less than 1 minute?” !

Warning – please don’t watch this film if flashing lights and fast images affect you at all :)

Love Anna x

People often ask me where are all the photographs of all the people holding thesignedphotograph are. Well, it’s a logistical admin job and a half and I get very confused :) So to enable you to see the scale of the project I’ve updated the previous APOTSPOAB flicker film and hereby present to you “825 photographs in less than 2 minutes?” Music courtesy C64Audio.com I hope you enjoy.

If you are an APOTSPOAB I hope you can spot yourself! Thanks so much to everyone who has taken part. It was a pleasure meeting you, and I have made many friends on our travels. I still need another 1365 people, so if you wish join in let me know and I’ll come to you. I hope to be having an exhibition and film screening shortly too so ears peeled for that :)

It is a pointless pointlessness for a very good reason… I will get the website tidied up shortly so it all makes sense… for info on how and what and why, please visit thesignedphotograph.com or follow on Twitter :D

Have a great weekend,

We went to Portsmouth and saw the hovercraft which was a geeky ambition :)

And here is @thesignedphoto with the Spinnaker Tower :D

Regular readers will know I am a complete variety and theatre history nut. I was fortunate enough to meet Steve Clark while at the London Palladium a few weeks ago. Steve is one of The Clark Brothers and dance history on legs – or feet to be precise. Have a look at the clip below – it is absolutely incredible!

He is a true entertainment legend who regaled us with tales of working with Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr and many other names I never thought I’d be one degree of separation from. He also said he worked at the Kilburn Empire!

Also below is a lovely bit of video with Sandra (a wonderfully jolly lady with a beautiful beaming smile) when they broke into impromptu sing songs. This clip makes me so happy – it’s a real joy to watch!

(apologies for the hazy video quality – the lighting was very gloomy and had to brighten a bit…)

(I’ve managed to visit a few of the West End Theatres recently so will write more soon about my backstage exploits :) )

Happy New Year everyone! Hope everyone is well and that the snow is jolly rather than a problem for you. I spent a few days up in Edinburgh just now and it was beautiful, although it was a lot of fun getting back as the trains were askew. Braved Arthur’s Seat for well, you know… :D

As you can see @thesignedphoto has had a bit of an accident. I slipped on the icy path and fell on him. New glass is a’coming. It won’t be the same though… ;)

APOTSPOAB @ 839 / 2190

Last night at the aforementioned invitation from the entire hamlet of West Hampstead I popped along to the sweaty throngs of The Alice House to meet some local West Hampers. I met some amazing people, and so here they are  – in a unique special edition APOTSPOAB* within an APOTSPOAB within an APOTSPOB within an APOTSPOAB-type frame :D

Thanks everyone for being so kind and generous with your faces and hope to see you all again soon!

p.s. the main website for thesignedphotograph project is HERE although I am in the process of amalgamating it all into this blog to save my poor brain from duplication and/or overheating so it may continue to be chaotic-ish…

p.p.s to keep up to date with local things may I suggest the very fine blog of @WHampstead – the organiser of the #whampgather gathering :)

825 Photographs in 1 minute?

The Signed Photograph went somewhere funny…

My good friend Mark (APOTSPOAB # 802 /2190) in Great Portland Street.

Hilarious film on YouTube made from footage taken last year at the “Friends Like These” book signing where we met and successfully APOTSPOAB’ed Danny Wallace. See if you can “Spot the Us”!
