send in the clowns

send in the clowns

woke up: puked up

then continued to puke up yellow stomach bile hourly for the rest of the day.

this made the day a little complicated as frances had met me at the hotel at 7.30am and we had to drive to bognor regis 'butlins'.

kept having to do emergency stops: pulling over to puke up on some hard shoulder.

eventually made it on time to bognor.

photographed clowns for some hours, stopping to puke and lie down in between sitters.

(we don't get to throw 'sickies' in this line of business: i think i've only had to cancel 3 shoots due to illness in the last 11years. if i'm too ill to shoot, you know i'm really ill)

big props to chris stone for his kind clown organising.
and to all the clowns i photographed today.
i WOULD have been a fun day had i not been feeling so incredibly shit.

drove back as far as haywards heath and put frances on a train to london.
stopped at my brother and sister-in-law's house and slept for 2 hours before heading back to farm again.

my nurse, sister-in-law, nina says it sounds like a stomach bug: boooo!
regardless, i think i'm over it: i've successfully held down some bread and water and haven't puked for some hours now.
