Long Live Film

2011-12-08T18:50:00.002Z

"I need film in the same way as a painter needs paint" says Tacita Dean who's lovely film is on show at the Tate Modern now. I couldn't agree more. The process of creating a photograph or film is becoming a too taken for granted art within this digital age and one I fear will soon be lost forever.
(These photos of her film were taken on an iphone though.... Sorry!)

On a recent trip to Paris my friend mocked me when I told her I was going to visit Jim Morrison's grave. She laughed and said I was being a typical tourist. That may be so but I also like to see the little pilgrimage I made as a nod to my 17 year old self who was heavily into The Doors. Next stop, LA...

A Harvest Moon

2011-09-13T16:17:00.003+01:00

Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say
Just like children sleepin'
We could dream this night away.

But there's a full moon risin'
Let's go dancin' in the light
We know where the music's playin'
Let's go out and feel the night.

I spotted this lizard at a recent visit to Kew Gardens. It reminded me of something I read recently that said the power of the lizard lies in it's ability to save itself from danger by separating itself from it's tail and leaving it behind. It was a good reminder that sometimes you've just gotta let go.

This is Molly. She's 17 and studying A-level photography.
I met her dad through work. When he asked me if Molly could join me on one of my shoots to get some experience I thought it was a lovely idea.
We had a fun time photographing Kitty, Daisy & Lewis last week, which ended with us chasing the sunset on a rooftop in Soho.
Molly has a blog, which you can view here
I think talent might run in her family.

All Thoughts Are Prey To Some Beast

2011-02-07T11:31:00.001Z

The leafless tree looked like a brain

The birds within were all the thoughts and desires within me
Hoppin' around from branch to branch, or snug in their nests listenin' in

An eagle came over the horizon and shook the branches with its sight
The softer thoughts: starlings, finches, and wrens
The softer thoughts, they all took flight

The eagle looked clear through the brain tree, emptying thoughts saved for me
Maybe I'll make this one my home, consolidate the nests of the tiny
Raise a family of might like me

Then something struck him, wings of bone
Sweet desires and soft thoughts were all gone
The eagle shrieked, "I'm alone"

Well it was time to flee the tree
The eagle snuck up on the wind one talon at a time
Being sky king of the sky, what did he have to fear
All thoughts are prey to some beast
All thoughts are prey to some beast

Sweet desire and soft thoughts, return to me
Sweet desire and soft thoughts, return to me

We had the best afternoon, hanging out with their dog, Miles and their 2 talking cats before watching the sunset over the statue of liberty and eating the best tacos from the mexican vans surrounding the park. They will be in London soon to play at the 1234 and Field Day festivals, which can only amount to MORE FUN.
