In a past life, I was a film teacher, photographer, theatre director and film editor. Now a psychogeographer and Jungian explorer searching for my Anima, and some purpose.

Alan Partridge is back.

What utter tripe.

No and that’s why it’s so disgusting. It’s expected. If one of us behaved that way…

Nicolas Roeg.

A visionary. He astonished me many times, and there are very few
directors in the history of cinema who were so innovative with their use of film form.

Oh really?
What you get in a country that invented greed and sycophancy and worships a monarchy in an age of austerity, corruption, misogyny and racism. He’s a disgusting freeloader who should face justice of some form but won’t. A truly disgusting person.

Israel has never negotiated in good faith, it unilaterally and routinely violated ALL of the terms of the last ‘ceasefire’ until they resumed the genocide. Israel has NEVER shown ANY interest in the truth or peaceful coexistence, only tactical advantages.

Trump's 'peace plan' for Gaza is another banal cover up
No-one dares to tell the emperor that he is visibly naked and wearing no new cloak of peace.

Strout understands all too well that there are tears at the heart of things; that none of us will escape untouched.

I've tried to not read this until I see she has written another novel; one to fall back on.
But I can't wait.
I need to be back in Maine.
Tell Me Everything by Elizabeth Strout review – when Olive Kitteridge met Lucy Barton
The worlds of Strout’s previous books converge in this quietly stunning novel of interlocking stories

Alex Webb.

“My work reflects the sometimes chaotic, sometimes mysterious process of creation, interweaving projects and obsessions, themes and passions, cultural tensions and offbeat moments, into one continuous chronicle of the street, from 1979 to the present.”

New York raised Sung Jin Park spent his thirties photographing high schoolers in his native Korea.

“These were kids who were striving to express themselves in the most naive ways, cutting their own hair, cutting their own clothes. It’s endearingly awkward.”
