Dive head first, shrunken or otherwise, into a Polynesian Pop world of incredible ceramics.

Korero books are having a launch party for a book that I have contriubited too next week at Trader Vics in the London Hilton. I'll be going along to sample some of the fine cocktails they have on offer.

LOL @ Simpo biggrin

Yellabelly, most of the shots I did were cataloging a very large collection of the mugs (some very rare). We set up a studio in the publishers lounge with my constant lights and a black background paper and shot literally hundreds of mugs from all angles over about 9 hours. Most were shot with a Canon 100-400L. Those shots on the cover could be mine, I'd have to look through what I took and see smile We did do some more artisitic groupings as well. I haven't asked if I can share any I'm sure I can put one for two up.

Slightly OT but Trader Vics can be a superb night out. The cocktails are deadly though - I have never had a hangover like I've had after going there.
