Milky Blacks - Irish Eyes

With out getting too soppy, One of my greatest friends and oldest friends, Ross McDonnell published an interview he did with me for the acclaimed Milky Blacks Blog. Ross in fact runs the site and I'm pretty sure he has turned me into an informed and learned layabout as apposed to your regular layabout. His research makes me feel bad for not knowing enough and the worst thing he isn't just an academic photo man with out being able to take a picture, no... His photography is brilliant too (Bastard). Look at his work! Inspiration.

The Drums - 10 men Magazine

I got to hang out with these chaps. No drugs and throwing TV's out the window, but a good laugh none the less. Doing well and great to see as they are devoted to their music and extremely hands on with everything they do, from music videos to album artwork. Genuine self made pop musicians.

Louise Stern - Author, Artist, Good Friend

Louise Stern: 'I didn't think I would ever live in the hearing world, let alone write in it'

Louise Stern grew up in an exclusively deaf community in California and studied art at America's only non-hearing university before coming to London to study and work as an assistant to the British artist Sam Taylor-Wood. Now her compelling short stories about wild, restless – and deaf – young people look set to change the way we think about both language and silence.

Leigh LeDare - Pilar Corrias Gallery

Stumbling across a Gallery you have never been in to and finding an amazing new Artist is enough to brighten up any day. LeDare's work is incredible and extremely thought provoking. Go to the show when you can and read up on him. He causes allot of questions and allot of 'taboo'.

MOSSLESS

Really interesting online mag. Every 2 days they run a short interview of a young photographer. Iv been looking at it all day and I have to say it is nice to see so much strong work out there from people iv never really heard of. Aaron Hunt from the mag contacted me a couple weeks ago to run one on me and instantly agreed after going trough the first few featured photographers.
Have a root trough it and see whats happening outside the world of super obvious, famous,uber successful, mega art/fashion/film/advertising/documentary/photographers. Some of these kids are amazing.

Richard Billingham - Anthony Reynolds Gallery

Richard Billingham 9th April - 22nd May 2010. Really nice show. Great to be reintroduced to a photographer after 12 years. I first saw the incredible and disturbing "Ray's A laugh" during my photo foundation year! Billingham is a great photographer and an inspiring artist (even though I'm usually a cynical git). Look for his work if you not familiar it is brilliant in every scene of the word. The book, "Ray's A Laugh" is fetching (if you can find a copy) for, in and around £2000.
