Kodaline

Subtle sounds and visual beauty poetic lyrics set to videos that seemed to pull at my heart strings evoking emotions that I don't normally feel from watching music videos all of their recent ones are well made and well developed allowing for a fully rounded experience and helping to paint a picture and see sounds. A very interesting band

I'm currently reading Joe Orton's diary's its no secret that play writing is my passion and a career I do hope and pray to embark on nevertheless non fiction writing is probably my favorite these people existed and there in the pages presented before me are their actual feelings and thoughts on the world and how they make sense of certain situations. Fiction is great yet in truth its an idea created by the creator a world within the world much like diaries are the world of those who write them. The people in fiction are ideals made from the head of another and although they mat have traits from real persons alive or dead they are still very much a part of their creator. Books that have shaped my vision haven't been fiction but more along the lines of diaries and interviews

Waugh Father & sons

Waugh- Father & Sons-BBC 4

Such an interesting documentary, my friend Luke & I have been getting into the lives of  'The Young Bright Things' and although Evelyn was one he also wasn't truly he belonged yet seemed also to observe and one can only do so when they're present yet from a distance he chronicled the youths escapades in several of his books taking inspiration from those who burned brightest. This documentary is about a legacy that Evelyn created yet also belonged to the Waugh dynasty have been writers for several generations yet he was among or is the greatest. It's a touching story of how fathers relate to their sons and its nice to see how attitudes have changed from the cold Edwardian/ Victorian era of nannies as the parent to modern day parenting with the father taking control and giving life lessons to his son. It's nice to see men being so affectionate and open with one another and makes for a brilliant & insightful watch especially for one like myself who never did nor never will have a father present

Cecil Beaton Portraits











currently obsessed with Cecil Beaton, his work captured everyone who was anyone in the era's he lived, to me his work wasn't about technical skill or overly retouching it was more about creating a setting that reflected the sitter.
