a johnson guitar. i wanted to. put it in a new context to make a slide guitar complete so i took totally different items like a pick up from a broken electric guitar and different broken things like these plastic bits which i thought of my parents' house was a good pull up or this piece of wood. and from there my made my slide guitar song about. more than thirty years the house still i think i'll buy it's a kind of do it yourself which of the music first off of course is the workshop space for people to make and like pet things. or if you don't need to buy anything new if you fix it because it's useful for longer we also get smarter when you repair things and i think that's really important you get to the bottom of things and look closely at how something's made of it. this heirloom job once decorated the living room of this woman's parent's

a leg for it you've still got three that are intact unscrew one of them and put it in the three d. scanner. and i just get this software that can capture that so accurately that you can basically print an exact replica. of. the ring on this coffee pot was broken. it was repaired using a three d. printer and now the valuable design objects from the nine hundred fifty s. can be used again and point. friend of mine recently says that repairing things is a luxury i think that in a way owning objects that can be repaired in the first place is a luxury they're valuable goods and we should be producing more of them. in the end it's about how we see the world and how we could see it. as a fantastic construction. we had over to vienna now to visit another stunning structure as part of our

artist who works with four legged models his colleagues may think he's bucking mad but the photography of john yoo that him has chosen to focus his work on dogs is probably the first photographer to ask his models to snack to the hots content. snapshots in the truest sense of the word when it comes to snapping up treats dogs can make the funniest faces photography. captures their greed and there are nice in his canine portraits. of i've always been interested in photography even as a kid. and he loves dogs but he doesn't feel he has not time for a dog of his own several years ago he started working with a dog trainer. come on or took my camera along and made photos of the dogs before those gradually got better and it was clear to me that i definitely want to keep doing it. today asterix is in the studio it's his first ever professional photo
12:52 am
shoot so the mixed breed hound is understandably excited. his task is to catch treats and look as silly as possible during as. well he's got the second part of that down at least. a little kind of prejudice is not staying or is supposed to stay the whole time. and quite got the hang of catching the treats yet. so asterix doesn't lose motivation assistance yet in a different case tries to get him to relax a little. i wasn't trying to do this it's just that i have a good connection with dogs. at some point and another try. there we go. his own offense asterix has stopped attentional. leftist yes and i like the one where he looks like scooby doo the boy or other one

12:54 am
he always gets a great shot like when the dog comes running up to the kind of brooding expression i'd never get such good shots myself and dubious. so that john's big success came with a series of goofy expressions. the my research money requests so many people got in touch with me wanting photos like that of their dogs i didn't expect it to be so successful with me. charlie is another inexperienced model but is and is a confident i'll end up with a great photo of him. it was pretty short it was different and each has something special about it as bizarre as some of us not your usual six day poses. and of course add on yet it does get a shock. just before we go a quick reminder of our holiday poll with easter around the corner we want you to
