Feb. 15th, 2008 09:46 pmI read the Economist each week. One of the things I like about it is the irreverential captions it gives to photographs.
Beneath a picture of Badri Patarkatsishvili (and try typing that after a bottle of wine!), a Georgian billionaire who died in somewhat mysterious circumstances this week, they produce the caption: “Georgia on his mind”.
And beneath a picture of John McCain – a rather good picture, showing him (I think) standing by a helicopter or a jet fighter, with painted symbols on the aircraft saying “Warning!” and “Rescue!” – they have the caption “Conflicting signals for McCain”.

Last month, I went to see the Chris Grieve Islay Quartet at the Lot in Edinburgh. According to my sources, they played a storming gig at the Islay Jazz Festival last year (hence their name…). It was a while since I had been to a jazz gig – this was the first of the year; and I took my camera with me.
I had decided to start shooting RAW – a specific kind of digital format, akin to a negative on film. I can’t work if it had made much difference to the images, though I think the black and white pictures are deeper and richer.
Anyhow, here are some of the pictures I took – there are a lot more on flickr…. Mostly they are of Chris Grieve (trombone), Ryna Quigley (trumpet) and Phil bancroft (tenor and alto sax).
It was a great gig – Quigley and Bancroft were particularly storming.
