Rebel, Rebel, Rebel
An Ode to Rebel Without a Cause, (1955)

Spent saturday evening immersed in the sweet sounds of Florence + the Machine..
The voice was captivating and the stage presence mesmerising.
Had a brush with fame when I spied the guitarist Robert Ackroyd afterwards, who was rocking the best Florence and the Machine bomber jacket!
A Roman Polanski + Prada collab.
The Therapy
A short-film starring the oh-so-eclectic Helena Bonham Carter and suave-as Ben Kingsley..
The star of the show, Ms Carter’s violet fur coat, which seems to have captured the therapist’s (Kingsley) attention

Epic sounds from this unique ice-landic four piece, where soaring notes and delicate chimes create an ethereal sound, with far and few comparisons..
Listen in..
Just I-Spied the trailer for the new Great Gatsby film..
Baz Luhrmann has created an epic visual feast, in the style unique to his own (sets, costumes, film technique)
Complementing the classic tale by F.Scott Fitzgerald and bringing literary genius to the masses
The connotations of the Gold Coast, as captured by me
Colour, lines and glitter (?), illuminated by the setting sun..
Using a faulty polaroid camera, which photographer William Miller found at a garage sale, photography-gone-wrong provides the charm in Miller’s works..
Unpredictable, the camera has a mind and soul of it’s own, manipulating the photograph due to a mechanical malfunction..
and this is the result:
