the jaws of life


at times i am socially awkward
sometimes it is purposely done
more often than not it is a downfall
occasionally it can be fun

oh deer



icelandic glitch & comic theatre
sigur rós step aside

nothing's personal




yesterday one hundred facebook friends were removed.
today, how many have noticed??

scandinavia behavi'a en



a recent obsession with products of scandinavian descent led me to london's well hidden parasol unit. deep within lay a 360 cinema, screening the works of finnish film & video artist eija-liisa ahtila. despite the scene of pitch black & the obvious language barrier the imagery & its meaning were far from lost in translation. the drama intense and the atmosphere evocative of life outside of our own knowledge.

additionally the designs of csm MA graduate laura mackness have been placed in collaboration with swedish label weekday. the palette pure, neutral & effeminate; the design simple at a glance, individual at two. reflective of stereotypical thoughts on scandinavian lifestyle. there is no doubt of the influence on my own current sense of style.

finally, though geographically dissimilar from the two previous, amsterdam based joost vandebrug presents a combination of european film & tonal cleanliness. the filmmaker & photographer working with light, focus & suitable lens, presenting the theme of youthful living in an admirable light whilst honoring the potential of contemporary fashion.




resurrection

jesus died & rose again within one extended weekend. since the easter period a constant train of thought has been running beneath the bridge of the brow. due to a series of minor frustrations & a particularly busy schedule of late, online documentation has been put to one side. 
the depicted trinity being three of four notes explaining the who, what, when, where & why of recent elusive activity - more to be divulged on these topics as soon as.


in the meantime perhaps a prayer will resurrect my shoddy scanner to my own right hand side.

talk shit & shit talk




the sky & the birds actually speak louder than words





look away lucifer


a twitching of shoulder, a flicker of light. the madrugada video that injects a dose of genuine fear when watching at home alone.
an andreas nilsson production. the artist & director, based in malmoe sweden, best known for his collaborations with the likes of: royksopp, the knife, fever ray, white lies, jose gonzalez, peter bjorn & john, amongst others. so proud of his work embedding of the video can only be done on request. dick'ed??

milk moustache


friday 12th freakshow. an observation of real people translated into costume & image; ultimately creating a multitude of fictitious characters perhaps not so bogus as they may seem. setting, habits, action, attire, prosthetics & a potato based penis to boot.

idiosyncrasies


fortunes of a fortnight: 
a friend to stay - blood red shoes upon the stage - flat-mate fighting for all to see
city visits - road trip - sickness in the a.m.
friendships gained - a moving-out - a moving on
the wet weekend - home with a moat in need of a boat
a rejected lover
three & a half birthdays - not so many births
sleep deprivation - deadline days - a walk of discovery
torn trousers - trousers take two
picnicking in the park - hamper harassment 'the picnic in your vagina' to be precise
a broken budget - a bulging body
& yet no photographic documentation to disclose.

for some time now i have endeavored to collect & recollect weekly photojournalism articles. thank goodness a genius or two took the time to document events such as these, events far more iconic than my own naive weeks. the results enlighten, intrigue & invigorate. history merges on society & births a timeless aid.
