This is my most favourited picture on Flickr. Sixty-one people, mostly from Qatar or the United Arab Emirates, have clicked the little star since I uploaded it in 2005. It has only around 1300 pageviews.
It is my most favourited picture not because of my photographic skills, or my wonderful eye, but because it features Chanel decoration. It appeals to young, rich brand… well, let’s use the word fiends rather than invoking the w-word. I much prefer the picture next to it.
I’m *this* close to deleting this snapshot from my stream.
Most of my other favourited shots are of ‘pretty’ girls, like Shirley Manson, Summer Glau and, um, Brandon Flowers. Or cute animals. Ouch.

Summer Glau (River Tam in Serenity) is very pretty. I attended the
premiere in Amsterdam on Tuesday evening, where Summer and Nathan
Fillion (Captain Mal Reynolds) were guests of honour. Quite a few good shots
even though the red carpet thing was a nightmare. But every time I do
this kind of thing, I get hungry for more, and hungrier for better
equipment, although you definitely learn to make do with what you have.
An L-series 28-300 (dream on) would come in very, very handy. Or a second body.
This is my favourite one of the evening.

I am a lucky bastard, I get to go to the Dutch premiere of Serenity on September 6. United Pictures have been very generous.
Cast members Nathan Fillion (Mal) and Summer Glau (River) will be attending too, but I’m more excited about seeing the film again. I’ve wanted to ever since I saw it at the private screening two weeks ago.
I have absolutely NOTHING to wear to a premiere. And I’m not joking, I’m all casual all the time. I also have no idea what to ask the cast if there’s a Q&A. I think I’ll stick to wielding my camera.
If things work out with the mail service, I’ll probably be donning a Whedonesque.com ‘staff’ t-shirt. Front: ‘Who is flying this thing?’ Back: ‘Oh right, that would be me.’ Design similar to the regular Whedonesque.com t-shirts we’ve just made available.
