It's funny how when you reach a certain age things start to take on new meaning. The relationships you have, the people you love, the thin line between life and death. All of these things have touched me in some way this week.
Not even this month or year, but this week.
A very close member of my family is very ill. Gravely ill. It's both worrying and sad; it affects those close to me very profoundly and makes me ask questions about how I'm going to deal with that as a husband, father and person. The only conclusion I can draw is to do the best I can. Be supportive and do the things I do best to make the situation more bearable. If it's hard for me, it's always worse for someone else. Keep calm and carry on.
This blog isn't really about work. There will always be the odd post about a shoot I've just done and the photos I took. But, for the most part, this is more about what inspires me. I listen to a lot of music and I still love the visual aspect of it - the CD (or LP) cover, the artwork, the music video. I'm listening to Charlotte Gainsbourg's new album, 'IRM', and love the simple beauty of Nick Knight's cover shots:
The music video for 'Heaven Can Wait' is great fun - a playful mish-mash of visuals. Watch it once, then again, then again. Loads to see - lots of smiles for troubled times.
