Cousin Charlie

Just a short series of both colour and black & white shots that I took of my cousin on Monday.

A Quick Hello

G'day folks,

Well, it's already Easter, which is sort of hard to believe. The year's going so quickly!
Anyway, the main purpose of this is to just say a quick hello and thankyou to you all, and to say HAPPY FLIPPING EASTER, GUYS!

I'll be away for the break (I know, you're all devastated), but don't fret pets! I'll be back just in time to post the next Musical Recommendation! Some time away will give me plenty of opportunity to think of an extra good one.

Until then, have a squizz at these photos. I'm the person in them staring wistfully into the middle distance, and my friend Romy is the person who took them.

Hannah: OUT!

Musical Recommendation: Week 4

Lykke Li. I love her. And so I'm super happy that she's just brought out a new album, Wounded Rhymes. Even though it's content is super sad.

So rather than recommending only one of her songs, I'm just going to recommend her.
But check this out!

Okay, i dare you to tell me that wasn't incredible.
See, the thing I love about Lykke Li is that she's so emotional when she sings. Just look at her eyes!

Her new album is full of great songs - my favourites are Unrequited Love, and Sadness is a Blessing, check them out - so I'd really recommend you buy it! I wanted to squeal when I picked it up at the CD store!

Migrant Mother

Today, I stumbled upon (and not via stumbleupon) a great photograph titled 'Migrant Mother'. It's a portrait taken of a woman named Florence Owens Thompson, who's image became an icon of the Great Depression in America. She is pictured with three of her seven children outside their patched and worn tent.

Filled with curiosity, I researched this picture and it's photographer, Dorothea Lange (1895 - 1965). And after looking at her work, I think I may have a new photographer to add to my list of favourites.

You should check out the site I've linked above to see some of her other photographs. They're all shot in these wonderful shades of almost gritty black and white - which I love - and they can definitely be used as inspiration for black and white (and even colour) photographers everywhere!

Solarium

Hello! Today, I have something a little special for you. It’s a film! Not of my own creation of course, but I’m going to introduce it to you. It’s called SOLARIUM, and it was shot by Moses Berkson, a photographer who I like. In the past, he’s taken portraits of Devendra Banhart, whose music I don’t particularly like, but who seems to be quite photogenic. Anyway. This film. It’s quite obscure, but keep an open mind, please. If nothing, appreciate it for its strangeness, and its intensity.

Shot in the middle of nowhere with a Super 8 camera, Moses Berkson captures musician Lykke Li frolicking around in a desert. She collaborated with the wonderful Björn Yttling, of Peter Bjorn & John, for the musical aspect of SOLARIUM, again creating an intense, eerie, almost scary piece of beautiful, beautiful music.

So now watch, SOLARIUM.

Oh, and also, next week’s musical recommendation is going to be a cracker. In fact, I’m writing it right now.
