13th - "Can You Handle It?"

Cheltenham, Glos

(Single released in 1980, reached the UK Top 40)

Well, I do like a bit of a boogie, and when I tired of the angst and seriousness of Joy Division, the Bunnymen and all the other New Wave and post-punk bands, this 1980 floor-filler with its elastic bass-line certainly had me strutting my teenage stuff :o)

My last circle shot - I got a bit out of sync last week. A straightforward (if quirky) shot of another mundane object - here the kitchen drawers are spookily illuminated. Almost no post work here other than a bit of straightening and a conversion to B&W.

What a beautiful light, Doug. You've captured it very well. Texture and details so nice.

I can certainly handle this! It's wonderful.

The lighting really sets the mood for this shot...and what do you have stored in those drawers?????

I think the bottom one is too HOT! And the top one is to COLD! And the middle one is just PERFECT!

A fine shot, I have a horrible vision of you dancing around in front of the mirror, SLR in one hand, hair brush in the other :-)

Very dramatic - I expect there's a big knife in one of those that's about to be dripping with blood..... :o)

I spent ages lying on the floor in the kitchen shooting handles - the results were not good...but you have a real handle on it - love the lighting :)

All you need is a leisure suit and a mirrored disco ball for your kitchen!
I like the spooky image of the drawer knobs Doug!

Very spookily done - we must both be in a 'boogie on down'
mood today. Love the song.
