More friends, places and faces.
Go, open the door, don’t spend time trying to fix whats on the other side out of your reach.
Put your trust in the one who holds the bookends of time.

[ ADVENTURES ] [ 2013 ] [ 1 ]
I’ve been on the road since January 4th 2013; (in no chronological order) here are some memories from along the way captured on film using my 1963 Konica rangefinder purchased for $12 and a Fujifilm Disposable camera also purchased for $12. More photos to come…

Like the first time you heard The Kooks sing “Seaside”, The 1975 make you wish you were a effortlessly trendy teenager from the UK whose messy bed hair actually made you more attractive to newly scouted runway models. My current obsession with this band has also re-sparked my faith in bands; a light at the end of a wintry tunnel of cleverly produced radio slush.

If you were ever unsure that the majestic universe in which we dwell would ever cease to be an infinite source of inspiration, then I suggest that you watch this.
Rhythm is shape is sound is colour.
The more that we grow as a species, naturally, the more we will learn about our existence and the reality of our surroundings. As is the pattern with us humans, the stimuli we experience demands a response. The manifestation of these responses are the creative expressions that make us human at all. Furthermore, our ability to interpret the expressions of another and respond ourselves become like seed and fuel alike for our continued survival and advancement.
Like the shimmering allure of newly formed stars in a distant nebula, birthed in violent chemical reaction to the push and pull of gravity that holds the galaxy together, this cycle is principle and may it never cease.

Youth is a tribe unto its own ruling, oppressed by its presently perceived idea of authority. They must try and fail if they hope to conquer; they must try and fail to know the boundaries of their own country.
Being the gushingly huge M83 fan that I am, I was shamelessly giddy with boyhood excitement when this video was released. It is the conclusion to a trilogy of short films created for the album Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming. In this exclusive video from the infinitely intriguing Creators Project, Anthony Gonzalez talks about his passions, influences and his reasons for the look and feel of the material.
The piece is brilliant and its influences are clear; the viewer is taken on a live action/CG anime journey through a Terrence Malick interpretation of Kubrick’s Odyssey to a “Land Before Time” run by Empire Of The Sun’s children. Across an array of stunning imagery and emotive cinematography an implied dark prophecy meets a climax in a curious and open ending. If anything small children scare me even more than when I watched The Shining for the first time.

POP LE CHEVAL by Kristof Brandl
Since coming across this video during a recent Vimeo surfing session, I haven’t been able to stop watching this incredible short. With no explanation or context given, the viewer is left to derive their own meaning and understanding from this beautiful and emotional collection of moving images and captured emotional states.
For me the piece became a powerful narrative to the mix of angst and listlessness felt by much of the young adult population in first world nations. An overwhelming frustration is only rivalled by our desire to escape through imagination disappearing into moments of pure expression.
I love this film and love how a collection captured images could move me so much. I look forward to more pieces from this artist.

As “the all seeing, all dancing crap of the world…” - Chuck Palahniuk
An outtake from just one of Tyler Durden’s epic monologues seen in the 1999 film Fight Club. A speech that still serves to stir sobering thoughts about the state of culture and society in the world today…So, what will we do?
Our expression of who we are through what we do is all that we have to leave our mark on this world; evidence of the meaning of a purposeful existence we were all created for. Free will is a splendour beyond our own grasp of understanding ; a lavish gift from a loving creator.
“As lungs of smoke to breaths of fire,
Exhalation of misguided desire”
For those of us living in the first world, we are the most, privileged, educated, capable and enabled generation to walk the earth, yet it seems we are still waiting for our turn to come around. Surrounded by seemingly obsolete institution, the ‘children of broken promises’ gaze upon destiny with eyes of defeat. Our future lies not in clever subscription; the greatness of time rests in it’s years. Hope is not an idea, it is the summation of every idea glowing in the hearts of the wild eyed dreamers who dare.
“Sometimes we are what we think,
When we can be all we speak
Softer clay and solid rock
Mould us with a gentle hand”
Within every creature (living creation), exists the instinct to extend greater than their predecessor. Offsprings are a multiplication not replacement. Within Human Life, which operates in dominion over the planet is an unparalleled longing for more. A quest for a seemingly unquenchable validation outside of it’s conscious awareness. An unexplained longing for more than all of the world could ever offer; fingerprints of an eternity yet to come.
Is this quest for greatness itself? Or simply the idea of it? Does your quest make you great?
Within its process there are countless millions of intricacies; the summation and interaction of ever effort; Purposeless ambition is ultimately self serving, even in the names of freedom, peace and liberty.
Our lives matter and it matters what we do with them, so dream dreams and choose your own adventure. The world we will live in is the the world that we choose to build.

As leafless branches reach for the sky,
So too shall I,
My soul is bared before you,
You know my heart
I am small and you are great
Sometimes we are what we think,
When we can be all we speak
Softer clay and solid rock
Mold us with a gentle hand
For You are worthy,
Through all our folly and failings,
You remain, our righteousness
I will hold steadfast to the cross
And be washed in the blood.
