A Day At The Opera.

 
So onwards I ambled forward with my camera, meandering around 'Landan' town, not quite knowing what to do-or to photograph, but looking ever so slightly glazed of the eye from some peculiar happiness. It's pretty much how we all look when we're tourists touristing the hell out of a foreign country we've never been to, stopping mid-walk to admire a lampost or whatever, when I found myself wandering into the Opera Gallery. All these years I never felt compelled to go inside-for all I know they may have held the Mona Lisa at one point! But, drawn by the 2 men carefully carrying into the building a very authentic Keith Haring into the space, well I just had to go in. Camera at the ready...

Wait. Wasn't this supposed to be a fashion blog? Yes aaand no. I fully intend to make this into a fashion, lifestyle, film and people blog a bit of a stretch I know, but what can I say? I do have other interests besides fashion ya know. Und you my dear reader, probably do aswell.
