This may take a bit of explaining, but I have made a new folder on the site called ‘Projects.’ The first project is an ongoing one I have named ‘Sound Of The Suburbs’ after the punk anthem by The Members. It is supposed to show mundane things we all take for granted and often ignore. Some pictured in a desoaute way. Here are the first four.

The Jinn Shoot featuring Christine Cain

in

Kicking off this septembers model galleries we welcome Chinese beauty, all the way from San Francisco, Miss Christine Cain. She is playing the part of a Genie or Jinn as they are known in Islamic Myth. Jinn are not the happy nice characters of Disney film, rather a malevolent being of true nastiness. Thankfully Christine Cain is everything but the character here. So thank you to her and brilliant makeup artist Karen Hegarty MUA. A special mention to second model Tyler Dyce and studio owner Lee Henshaw.

The Jinn Shoot featuring Tyler Dyce

So as I have said before a Jinn is something from Islamic myth which we would call a Genie. So here is mine and the makeup artists take Karen Hegarty MUA, on the subject using the ever lovely Tyler Dyce as blank canvas. It cost a bit to pull this shoot off, but I think it was worth it. Thanks to Tyler Dyce, Karen Hegarty MUA and second model Christine Cain. Special mention also to studio owner Lee Henshaw for his pad.

To remember Marie Coyne with affection

in

I would wish to say a few words about a friend of mine who has departed. Many years ago I made friends with a great man, a good Roman Catholic, proud Irishman and father named John Coyne. and his loving wife Lorraine. Both John and Lorraine were blessed with three very special daughters, Emma, Katie and the middle one, Marie Coyne. I have known Marie since she was about seven years old and we all went to the seaside together once. I gave her and her sister Katie an Easter Egg each from the day. Marie grew into a gentle soul with varied interests. Once mad on Sonic The Hedgehog then the brit pop band Oasis, Marie was brilliant at most things computing and artistic. She knew Adobe Photoshop long before I mastered it myself and was a true inspiration to me. Since moving away we had lost touch, but my friend Eddie informed me she had past away the other week. I don't know why, he did not say, but I was very sad to hear that news. Marie made my first ever web site all those years ago and she was as wonderful a person to ever know. On her Instagram page the last entery shows her in a picture with her boyfriend and soul mate Jezz Spear.

The caption with the picture reads 'I am so happy.'

There was something so very lovely about Marie and it was impossible not to like her. I count myself blessed to have known her in life.

Goodbye my friend, so sorry to see you go x

Marie Anne Coyne was thirty six.
