I’m currently studying a class on Narrative Photography at ICP – essentially, Narrative Photography that tells a story and begs the viewer to contemplate on the meaning behind the shot. The aim is to provoke imagination where the storyline is open ended and interpretation belongs each viewer individually.
Each week we are given assignments to do for the next class the following week The first assignment I’ve been tasked with is to create a print that references a film. See if you can guess the films I’ve referenced.

My First Book Project is a JWT initiative to help children in disadvantaged communities learn to read. Ad agencies are cluttered with mountains of Stock Photography books rendered useless by online libraries. These books have beautiful, colourful and rich imagery. The idea is to write descriptions of what is displayed on each page of the book and distribute them to disadvantages communities worldwide. These will become learner books to help children in these communities learn to read. The idea originate from the JWT South Africa office, where only 20% of schools in South Africa have libraries, to help solve the massive literacy problem the country faces. This initiative has now been put forward to all JWT office globally. The photos below are from the NYC office. View more details here.

Today I went to the Experience Music Project in a museum building designed by Frank Gehry at the Seattle Center. This place was on the top of my list of places to visit as Seattle gave birth to so many great Grunge bands such Pearl Jam, Mudhoney, Nirvana, Alice in Chains. I really got to re-live my adolescent days. Not to mention it’s where ledgend Jimi Hendrix is from and where Ray Charles and Quincy Jones made their names.

Today I went to the Who Shot Rock and Roll exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum. The exhibition is the best collection of music/artist photography I’ve seen. I’ve included some samples below where you will see a very young Rolling Stones in Australia before they were signed; Madonna just after she released her first single, the photographer shot her not because she was Madonna but because they attended the same gym and she had always liked the way Madonna dressed; and also Kurt Cobain who just walked backstage and broke down into tears right after smashing his guitar on their amp on stage.
