Impoverished photographer requires no-charge attractive female model with own studio for creation of 1960s style images. Must be good conversationalist with tea and coffee making facilities. Biscuits would be an advantage.

Ballito advertisement, early 1970s. There was a picture as well which I have not bothered with.

Whilst leafing through an old 'Nova' magazine, it fell open at an unusual angle where the right-hand page was an advertisement for a Volvo car. The left-hand page being a stronger image, I converted it to black and white and increased contrast. However, the best part of the car advertisement - the couple admiring the car - somehow became isolated and more interesting.

The dress was such a strong component in this advertisement from the 1960s that it was easy to make its occupant fade in significance via a few judicious shunts of the sliders in the processing software.

A simple collage comprising a bus ticket issued during 1970 which I discovered in a secondhand book where it had been doing service as a bookmark; and part of a page from a 'Nova' magazine of the same period.

One August afternoon at the seaside I encountered this girl who was taking photographs and asked if I could take one of her. The encounter was over in a moment. I sent a large number of holiday pix off for prints. This was one of them. Later, in an old Nova magazine from 1965, I saw a short story by Edna O'Brien entitled 'A Woman at the Seaside' in an interesting typeface and I thought of combining the two.
