why not? “Lonely Boy”
Saturday, January 21st, 2012Reverence and Redemption
Saturday, June 25th, 2011In my opinion, probably Johnny Cash’s most moving song, a cover version of “Hurt”
and the song below “Redemption” both just seem to flow on from the theme of last post;
The (Good) Book Of Eli.
For whatever unrelated or connected reasons take a listen.
creating visual impact
Saturday, August 28th, 2010This stage set is simply about visual impact.
Artificial light
Projection
Colour
Motion
(Noise)
and ultimately Experience…
…the announcement that U2 will be bringing the 360° Tour to Australia, reminded me to re-visit a few clips I took at the concert in London a year ago this time…(see a few more here)… I wasn’t there to video or photograph but just to savour the best around in terms of stadium concert visual impact…and for visual impact this concert has to rate right up there. I have certainly never seen anything like it in a live setting. To understand more about the concept design read:this.
Like most intelligent creative ideas, it’s the strength of an original concept, well executed and completed, which creates the best result. If you are interested in seeing this kind of creativity I can think of few better ways of spending an evening ‘soaking up’ some of the best ‘creative visual impact’ the world has on offer; whilst simultaneously, listening to (arguably) the best rock group on the planet.
I have never left a U2 concert feeling uninspired, photographically or otherwise.
bangkok(dangerous)
Sunday, May 23rd, 2010Things have clearly been a bit crazy in Thailand …and it’s easy with the news bombarding us every minute to skim over such articles and events, placing war, rebellion, injustice…etc next to sport or financial highlights…but, when you get sent a link to a specific ‘situation’, it brings it all a little closer…what’s someone’s news, is someone else’s reality.
I don’t think we all can be, or want to be James Nachtwey, but those photographers who are out there ‘documenting someone else’s reality’ need to be given recognition – for helping us to wake-up … while we ‘the rest of us’ sit in relative comfort.
The video above is a simple, unedited, real, close-up view of a little part of the current Thailand events by Alan James. Feedback via YouTube…
I for one, will take some more notice of the situation; and at very least start asking the question…what is this all about?
After having the privilege of hearing Ken Duncan speak and workshop over the last 2 weekends, I’d like to take a leaf from his book, and suggest a little communicating with God (esp. in light of world events) sounds like a very good idea.
Whether it’s about a volcano in your ‘backyard’ or a capital full of protestors.
