Love

2010-04-14T23:37:00.001+01:00

In a landless night
Did you feel the fright
Of the age that wasn't
Could never be
So we hold it close
When we feel the most
Like a love that we could not leave behind
We turn the wheel
To which way we feel
Till our thoughts drift
I can not find you there
Don't forget the nights when it all felt right
Are you not the same as you used to be
Used to be

Between March 31, 1979 and October 25, 1997, the day of his death, he took a single picture nearly every day with a Polaroid camera and even though some photos have gone missing, 6,697 Polaroids remain.

A mixture of the sorrow and the joy we all encounter in our lives.

who lives in a house like this? imagine if you were on the ground floor, close to the water and partially hidden by the bridge. i'd say it's pretty cool.

What ya thinkin'?

i wish i had of asked him what he was thinking, but i didn't! he was so lost in thought that he didn't even notice that i took his picture.

in theory st patrick's day was a great opportunity to get some fantastic photographs, but in reality it was horrendous. drunken louts throwing themselves on you, screaming "take my picture. take my picture!!". yes, i'm dying to take your picture, you with vomit and food stains all down your shirt. on second thoughts maybe i should have.

Ryanair

2010-03-09T18:31:00.002Z

i laughed so much when i looked out the window of a plane last week and caught sight of this little sign on the wing. do people really need to be told that they are not permitted onto the plane's wing? i stopped laughing pretty quick when the plane almost nose-dived onto the runway in Prestwick.

Sunset

Marina Abramovic

2010-02-18T20:52:00.002Z

A very strange lady altogether! Abramović's work explores the relationship between performer and audience. Who else would place upon a table 72 objects that people were allowed to use (on her) in any way that they chose? Some of these were objects that could give pleasure, while others could be wielded to inflict pain, or to harm her. Among them were scissors, a knife, a whip, and, most notoriously, a gun and a single bullet. For six hours the artist allowed the audience members to manipulate her body and actions.

Jenny Holzer

2010-02-01T20:11:00.004Z

Since the 1970's, Holzer's use of linguistics has been the primary focus in her artwork, making profound statements and slogans through vehicles commonly used in advertising, such as electric billboards, LED and xenon projections and TV commercials. These simple declarative sentences, usually in capital letters, appear anonymously in urban spaces containing surprising, startling, unprotected and often not too pleasant messages of political, social and cultural content. Holzer's ability to transform statements on topical subject matters such as war, violence, racism and death into an aesthetic presence is well amazing!

it's funny what reminds you of people, those people who you once knew, and have since moved on, people you see everyday, who you are closest to and those who you only spoke to once but yet they somehow influenced a time in your life.

this little kid with his tiger bag reminded me of someone who was once my best friend. she possessed the same quirkiness, the same youthful character as this kid. when it came to bags, she wasn't to be outdone, hers was zippy from the cult kids cartoon rainbow. zippy had an oval rugby shaped head, almost like arnold from Hey Arnold! his mouth, a zip (obviously) and when he became too bossy or irritating this would be zipped shut to prevent him from being so. this zip was the the opening in the bag so all your belongings ended up in his belly. this was all good as long as you never needed those things ever again.

zippy loved to eat sweets, sing songs and tell his favourite jokes. he was the only character who really spoke his mind and would make for hours of laughter and entertainment. it's amazing how at the time i didn't realise how much she herself resembled the puppet she loved.

they do say it takes all kinds...but there are some weirdo's about! like these two! myself and nimbo emerged from the port house to be greeted by men dressed head to toe in well shiny tights. it was simply terrifying. seriously. the port house is really really dark, it's downstairs and completely candle lit and resembles a cave. so when you come outside into the light, you are a little confused, this pair just added to the confusion. plus of course because they were in masks, that gave them an excuse to be twats. yup, big hard funny men...wearing tights.

What do you do when your boyfriend dumps you by email? cry? lash out? spend weeks in your pj's eating ice cream? plot ways in which to kill him? down vodka and drown your sorrows hoping he'll realise what a shit he was and change his mind? Well if you're like Sophie Calle, you get even..

I received an email telling me it was over.
I didn't know how to respond.
It was almost as if it hadn't been meant for me.
It ended with the words, "Take care of yourself."
And so I did.
I asked 107 women (including two made from wood and one with feathers),
chosen for their profession or skills, to interpret this letter.
To analyze it, comment on it, dance it, sing it.
Dissect it. Exhaust it. Understand it for me.
Answer for me.
It was a way of taking the time to break up.
A way of taking care of myself.

i am a little bit fond of street art. my lecturers would say that way too many people are jumping on the street art band wagon but what does that matter? not all of those are going to take a picture that affects people like those of helen levitt. i think i admire her because she was so unaware of her ability to capture the seemingly insignificant and beautiful moments in time. she's pretty cool.

for thursday you get three, three photographs of people on benches. for today only you get three. i wouldn't want to ruin the magic of one image a day. but it's kinda been a running theme, these people on benches so i figured, why not? there they are. one out of three wearing ugg boots. two out of three on the phone. three out of three looking quite distressed. again, why sit on a bench? the girl in the final image was actually crying. i don't know her, but i was overcome with empathy for her. i felt i should ask her if she was ok. obviously i didn't. my mummy told me not to talk to strangers. so instead i photograph them.

why do people sit on benches?
i'm not quite sure i understand why you would bother.
why sit on a bench along a roadside when you could actually just be closer to wherever it is that you were going? perhaps this man just got tired. maybe he was waiting on someone. i don't know but i love his sandals though.

2009-10-12T18:51:00.000+01:00

over familiarity can make us blind to what's really going on around us and for this reason i decided to observe the individual in their daily lives, unbeknown to them, exposing their private life-passing days, intimate situations, insignificant street scenes, capturing their true character and not what they think the camera wants.
