I have mixed feel­ings about adver­tis­ing, and gen­er­al­ly accept or turn down projects on a case-by-case basis. Plus I only con­sid­er pho­tog­ra­phy an expen­sive hob­by, and in fact don’t make any men­tion of it on my web­site or busi­ness card.

The weeks pri­or to my trip to India, I col­lab­o­rat­ed with Lay­al El Ghazirie on her debut book صرخة فراشه (Scream of a But­ter­fly).

This lec­ture intro­duces visu­al com­po­si­tion by draw­ing exam­ples from sev­er­al influ­en­tial pho­tog­ra­phers past and present. I explain that the rules of com­po­si­tion are only called that for want of a bet­ter phrase, and am the first to insist that there are no rules — mere­ly rules of thumb, a loose set of prin­ci­ples to fall back on, or bet­ter to engage with and challenge.

When I was in Lon­don last sum­mer, Corinne and I went to see Jude Law play Ham­let at Wyn­d­ham’s The­ater on Char­ing Cross Road. Even though the shows were booked sol­id until the end of the play’s four-month run, we saun­tered in like we owned the place and grabbed the last two tick­ets five min­utes before the mati­nee show began.

After we wrapped the Vanes­sa shoot for Walk in Clos­et, Celia was hap­py. So I tucked my cam­era safe­ly into by back­pack and with that my vaca­tion began — or so I thought.
