Something wicked this way comes...

I'm in the Sunday Times photographic studio with my picture editor friend  Sara Evans Leinonen. She kindly agreed to be gagged with gaffer tape so I could do a lighting test.

My subject was news journalist James Gillespie who had been on a silent retreat. His story will run on 4 January.

You will be glad to hear that the black tape was lined with double sided which is a lot less likely to remove skin. No journalists were harmed in the making of this blip entry.
