Here I've posted yet more photographs from master-snapper Paul van Schalkwyk. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
Have you ever been to a concert of one of your favorite bands? And not your average kind of concert either, I'm talking about the type set in your local student bar, the whole place packed with your people, all yelling and grooving with the music jazzing between the hot bodies like warm syrup. Yeah, you know the kind of concerts I'm talking about. And if you don't, you haven't quite lived. You don't agree? Well, we'll just have to agree to disagree. Fact is if you haven't seen Tidal Waves (the South African groooooovy reggae band) then you haven't heard music. Fact.
So apparently the creative gene runs in our family. Recently my father decided that it was time (after severe prompting from us woman folk) to put more energy into getting his photography out there. And here it is: his very own website!
With music by the XX (amazing indie band) and lips cuirtesy myself, I made my own little short video.
I was walking down the street the other day with two of my friends, and I just so happened to have my camera with me. I looked around me and saw patterns everywhere; I just had to take pictures of course! Its amazing how, if you make the effort to really see your surroundings, the beauty of it just jumps out at you.
Ooh, you thought I'd forgotten about Edie Sedgewick did you? Nope, never.
Edie Sedgwick, the it girl. She had an interesting, fascinating, unique quality. Not only was she beautiful, but she had such an alluring way of speaking and made a big impression on everyone that she met - an instant success. For years now, countless young people have discovered Edie Sedgwick and felt a strangely compelling, deeply emotional, connection to her. Edie's creation of her persona, of her image, was her art form. Gone, but never forgotten.
