The very funny H Anthony Hildebrand. Taken in the wonderfully untouched Balham Bowls Club.

I met Anthony a couple of months back as he was organising a night called “An Event of Some Kind” which a friend’s band, Witness to the Beard, were playing at. I was there taking photos of Witness to the Beard, but hung about to watch the rest of the night, which included the excellent band Don’t Tread on Spiders and comedians Tom Basden and Eric Lampaert. You can check out photos from the night here. Anyway, Anthony is putting together some applications to perform at Edinburgh festival and needed some photos for this, so asked if I could help. So, here is one of the resulting photos from a quick dirty photoshoot in the Balham Bowls Club last Sunday morning, which involved a lightstand, a shoot-though umbrella, at 580ExII, some Cactus triggers, a pint of Guinness and a large pot of coffee.

I wish Anthony all the best and hopefully you can go see him in Edinburgh in the summer. If you cant wait until then, you can check out his MySpace page or head along to the next Event of Some Kind on the 12 February.
