The Mad Red Motherf**ker World Tour.

@gazza61 thanks. Not sure if everything has worked but it’s better to try …

[Jett129]

@ARNC Everything you’ve posted has worked brilliantly. Really cool compositions,perspective and lighting. Clever positioning of the jacket within the context of the photograph. Stop selling yourself short. As a fellow photographer,I applaud your leg of the MRMF World Tour.

[ARNC]

Thanks @Jett129 . That means a lot coming from you. Not trying to sell myself short, just aware of the gap between conception and realisation and little details I might change if I had unlimited time and patience.

@ARNC no you have done a very enjoyable jacket journey

[Jett129]

@ARNC The only advice I could give you is…Keep doing what you’re doing!

[ARNC]

Black and indigo are easy combos. Time to try something different.

Today’s inspo:

and the result:

[ARNC]

I made it to the Samurai exhibition at the BM. And yes, #3 is an aubergine inspired helmet.

A couple of calendar-appropriate extras:

Great photos and post, Andrew. I always knew you'd pull off this jacket

[ARNC]

@T4920 thanks Tom. It’s been a lot of fun. My current theory is that the MRMF absorbs something of the character of every previous wearer and temporarily transfers the total to the current wearer, like some kind of superpower. I definitely feel a bit taller when I’m wearing it.

@ARNC the colour combo with the brown pants and olive shirt is stunning!

[ARNC]

I’m afraid nothing happened yesterday so here’s something to keep you going. Unless you tell me it’s a Really Bad Idea, I’d like to end my part of this story next weekend (I have a couple of ideas I’d still like to try).

My sister finally got to meet the Mad Red.

[ARNC]

I decided to detour via the village where I grew up on the way home.

Devil’s Dyke, part of an Iron Age settlement and reputed site of a little disagreement between Cassivellaunus, chief of the Catuvellauni and Julius Caesar in 54BC.

[ARNC]

Once the border between Saxons and Danes under the Treaty of Alfred and Guthrum, and a prime location for feeding the ducks when I was a boy.

Today’s ducks seem more interested in other prime locations.

The crinkle crankle community garden (and the eponymous wall).

Possibly the most famous resident in the churchyard, Apsley Cherry-Garrard the Antarctic explorer.

[ARNC]

Nomansland common, reportedly the haunt of the notorious highwaywoman (who probably looked nothing like Margaret Lockwood) and now used for more civilised pursuits.

@ARNC I have been impressed with every one of your posts. Outstanding leg of the tour!!

[ARNC]

@goosehd thanks! I’ve had a lot of fun, which could easily mean nobody else has. I’ll take any evidence that hasn’t happened, deserved or otherwise

@ARNC said in The Mad Red Motherf**ker World Tour.:

Still trying to work out which was the most historically important........

[ARNC]

I’m voting but I’m probably the only one!
