'Don't be a tourist'

Here is another commercial from Olympus and Kevin Spacey. In this one we are playfully introduced to the idea of not taking thousands of pictures and instead just taking a select few that really mean something. What I like about these adverts is that for me they are subtly questioning the way we take and think about digital photography, almost as if it is asking us to think about digital as we would when shooting analogue.

I strongly recommend checking out the rest of the commercials here which, in my opinion, are fresh and a delight to watch.

'I don't want to be the camera guy'

In a new series of eye catching and beautifully shot commercials actor Kevin Spacey reveals how he doesn't want to be 'the camera guy'. You and I both Mr Spacey, you and I both.

David Gray, live.

Sat with 15 minutes before David Gray takes to the stage and I realise that I am totally, utterly absorbed by music. Perhaps my biggest influence on my work and my life is the pleasure and visuals I get from listening and seeing music being created. As always the Birmingham Syphony Hall has the perfect acoustics and the support, a beautiful voiced folk singer John Smith, was simply outstanding. I am so engrossed that when the music stops it is as though I can feel my brain tingle. It is a fantastic feeling to watch somebody create something from nothing right before your eyes.
10 minutes left now and the subtle notes from the sound check crew are distracting me from writing. My legs are shaking and my face is flustered. It's obvious that it is now time to enjoy the show.

The lie

I love it when I hear people say they hate liars. I hear it so much and in so many contexts but how we can hate liars and the lie when everything we deal in is fiction and false. As photographers we should be aware of how we can use the lie to our artistic advantage. Many of us have used lies for our own advantage in some way or another (although many will never openly admit it, especially those who condem 'liars'). The media, everyday life and our thoughts are saturated with lies and other peoples truths. I say don't condem the liar, I say thank them for going through the effort of creation. I say celebrate the liar and realise the importance of the lie.

The Used - Watered Down

In my eyes, closed and jaded it's no surprise
The lights have faded, I always walk away
You'll always hear me say; "I don't need this"

I've been given such a gift
Shame to take advantage of it
Wanted, wasting leaves you wanting more
Be careful what you're wishing for

Community Artist Spotlight - Public Poster Project

'Imagine you saw a colour in your dream, which you have never seen before. It doesn't consist of any colours or shades that you know. Trying to describe that colour would be as difficult as trying to belive that there is enough love & compassion in the world so every human can feel happiness.'

People watching - searching for inspiration

Right now I am sat in a cafe watching and listening to people all around me. They come and go and discuss their stories and lives with each other in easy listening distance of myself. No doubt that if I were to be making a sketchbook for my course I would be filling it right now with sketches and musings. As it is, this blog is the portal into my ideas.

RAQUEL ZIMMERMANN BY MARIO SORRENTI

Glorious Excess - Mike Shinoda

Glorious Excess (Dies) is the second, and final chapter, of artist Mike Shinoda exhibition. The work is a complex story of the icon and superstar and examines how fame has a rise and a fall.
(Dies) pays homage to many icons who have in some way been afflicted by their success.
The work, ranging from large mixed media walls; graffiti posters and video setups.
An outstanding mix of work that is aimed at a younger audience, Glorious Excess (Dies) is a contemporary voice of an educated generation.
