Suepandasandwich is at Glastonbury AGAIN

Glastonbury at dawn. Thin mist peels slowly from rheumy slopes, stealing sheepishly through tents, between the toes of dormant revellers. Tottering across a grassy car park, the actor Denzel Washington tries to eat a flapjack.

As I gaze across this tranquil landscape, silent apart for the muffled throb of distant beats, my mind is a temple of clarity. All the voices dissipate into a ocean of calm, leaving one pure and essential question: should I have ordered that extra roll of 44" Hahnemuhle Photo Rag for the print lab before I left?

Sue Pandasandwich is on holiday again again again again again again again again again again again again again again again again again again again again

Sue Pandasandwich is not really dead! I just went to Chester.

As you will no doubt be aware, this web page is not only concerned with photography, it is also a crucially important document of all the old stuff I've seen on holiday.

Chester is one of the most ruined cities in all of Europe.

"When he saw the blood, it was as though he had drunk a deep draught of savage passion. He fixed his eyes upon the scene at the Roman Amphitheatre and took in all its frenzy... He watched and cheered and grew hot with excitement at the Roman Amphitheatre. He barely even thought about his breakfast."
