As you've probably noticed, I'm a Film Geek... I'm heavily into Directors and their works and I'm always interested in what Directors people tend to like.
My favourites are Stanley Kubrick, David Lynch, David Cronenberg, Terry Gilliam, Alfred Hitchcock, Ken Russell, Gaspar Noe, Andrei Tarkovsky, Alejandro Jodorowsky, Kenneth Anger, Francis Ford Coppola.
I love a lot of weird and wonderful music. From hip hop to rock, from 70's,80's and 90's music. Electronic to singer song writers.
I also love The Velvet Underground, The Rolling Stones, Talking Heads, The Clash, Sonic Youth, Paul Weller, Ryan Adams, INXS and classical music.
I came up with a list of 8 books that I consider must-reads from both contemporary and classic literature:
To Kill a Mockingbird (Harper Lee), The Great Gatsby (F. Scott Fitzgerald), Emma (Jane Austen), Jane Eyre (Charlotte Bronte), 1984 (George Orwell), Fahrenheit 451 (Ray Bradbury), Catch-22 (Joseph Heller), Cloud Atlas (David Mitchell).
As a photographer, I like to question everything. I like to understand how things work, why they are how they are, and how it affects what I do.
One of my latest ponderings really got me thinking, so I ran it past US based photographer Chase Jarvis for his opinion. Not only did he have his own take, but he also felt compelled to post the question on his blog.
