"work" experience

horst a. friedrichs 'im one'

i don't think i could have found a more ideal work placement. my series "dandy" (see earlier post) was initially influenced by the work of horst a. friedrich, who's work "i'm one" (above) i'd seen launched at the new untouchables brighton mod weekender '09.

on the off chance i e-mailed rob bailey, the new untouchables top dog, just to see if i could do some event reportage for their blog as my placement. he said i could cover this year's le beat bespoke and as luck would have it, horst himself would be photographing and was happy to me to work with him.

i'm still baffled. it just goes to show: its not what you know, its who you know. the perks of being mod.
