Yesterday in the City (of Moscow) - some urban photography and street photography.
A captive British lion, I think?
Using multiple exposures (3) - "normal", underexposed, over exposed ... still can't get it right most of the time haha.

Downtown Moscow At Night
Some pictures from about a week ago, I think it was.
The destination is a Chinese food restaurant called (in translation) Chinese News.
It's on the New Arbat where we frequently are.
It was when we actually went to this restaurant and where I specifically had a Beijing Opera cocktail and a Peking Duck dish, very tasty too.
On entering you are greeted by a replica Terracotta Soldier.
From the menu.
In the restaurant.
Beijing Opera cocktail, for more follow the link.
Chinese news.
New In From Haberdashery
New arrivals to wardrobe from a haberdashery (or whatever).
A fairly nice rtw piece of shirting.
With a split two-piece yoke and chevroned checks too.
Some claim that it's a hallmark of high quality shirting... and it could as well be... but not on rtw.
And a pair of trouserings or whatever is the genteel word for the pants.

Steve Merchant in his youth on BBC World Service The Edge BBC World Service Episode 2 Part 1 January 2000 -
Here is one Steve Merchant in 2000 on the radio.
My House of Bogart (Scents)
Here is the state of the House of Bogart in my toilet cupboard subsequent to the new arrivals of One Man Shows.
Left to right: One Man Show Original, One Man Show Emerald Edition, One Man Show Ruby Edition, One Man Show Oud Edition.
Although I am a frequent user of scents nowadays - each time I go out - I have some library of scents and these might actually last me a lifetime (what's left of it which is still plenty).
Wore Oud Edition a couple of times and I have to report that, after a promising beginning with what seemed for a while like notes of pine in the style of Encre Noire, it is not that great and gets worse with time, can be worn but that's about it.

Copy Photography on Arbat Street, Moscow
More of my chance copy photography experiments, this time again on the Arbat in Moscow, Russia.
Copy photography is what I (and maybe others) call using a camera to reproduce a work of art which could be a photograph itself or a painting.
And especially reproduce it in such a way that it can almost stand on its own.
With a modern high quality camera, the results can be quite fetching.
Even my olde Sony rx100 m2 does the trick.
See? Not to shabby to pass for my own ... but using photographic posters this time from a Mexico200 exhibition.
Mexico 200 photo exhibition by somebody as seen on the Arbat in late November 2021.
Now on to Korea, south part.
Unboxing Panasonic RF-3500 E-9K Radio Four Bands, including SW
Radios are still around ... and some even still have shortwave bands.
Tie of the Day Bow Tie with Winter Layers
Tie of the Day Bow Tie with Winter Layers
First, hidden bow tie mode.
This is the culprit then.
It was a pre-tied, however I cut the stitches and untied it to tie it myself, as well (or badly) as I am able to on the day.

How To Choose Trousers for Any Sport Coat – Put This On
How To Choose Trousers for Any Sport Coat – Put This On: We’ve all been there before: you buy a sport coat that looked tremendous on the rack. You may have been...
One knows all that, but thank you very much nonetheless, D.G.
Note to self actually.
Red and Green Inspo from RL
Inspo: red and green ... or is it burgundy and bottle green?
Who said they can't be mixed?

Remember reading his blog when he used to post his outfits regularly, some years back.
I noticed that his blog seems to have disappeared and he had stopped posting awhile before that but only today did I learn of his passing a year ago.
