Life Magazine photographers

Watch it before its gone.

Life was an iconic weekly magazine that specialised in extraordinarily vivid photojournalism. Through its most dynamic decades, - the 40s, 50s and 60s - Life caught the spirit of America as it blossomed into a world superpower. Read by over half the country, its influence on American people was unparalleled. No other magazine in the world held the photograph in such high esteem. At Life the pictures, not the words, did the talking. As a result, the Life photographer was king.

to meet a Romeo and become Mrs Darcy?

Two of the best stories, two of the best sound tracks

Romeo & Juilet


1. "#1 Crush" - Garbage
2. "Local God" - Everclear

3. "Angel" - Gavin Friday
4. "Pretty Piece of Flesh" - One Inch Punch
5. "Kissing You (Love Theme from Romeo + Juliet)" - Des'ree
6. "Whatever (I Had a Dream)" - Butthole Surfers
7. "Lovefool" - The Cardigans
8. "Young Hearts Run Free" - Kym Mazelle
9. "Everybody's Free (To Feel Good)" - Quindon Tarver
10. "To You I Bestow" - Mundy
11. "Talk Show Host" - Radiohead
12. "Little Star" - Stina Nordenstam
13. "You and Me Song" - The Wannadies

I use to listen to this album when I was at college. I would get home, stick it in the cd player, and have it on whilst I did my work. It was especially photography sketch books, it use to take me away to my beautiful place. It was me. My head space, it was my happiness. The whole album feel fresh, it oozes adolescent, acts rebellious, a little bit clingy, it's a right of passage and a little bit english class at school. :)


Pride & Prejudice


1. "Dawn"
2. "Stars and Butterflies"
3. "The Living Sculptures of Pemberley"
4. "Meryton Townhall"
5. "The Militia Marches In"
6. "Georgiana"
7. "Arrival At Netherfield"
8. "A Postcard to Henry Purcell"
9. "Liz on Top of the World"
10. "Leaving Netherfield"
11. "Another Dance"
12. "The Secret Life of Daydreams"
13. "Darcy's Letter"
14. "Can't Slow Down"
15. "Your Hands Are Cold"
16. "Mrs. Darcy"
17. "Credits!"

This on the other hand was never a soundtrack! I never bought the album, I just like the fact that the film filled me with the optimisim required, to again keep me in my false reality, until I leave the security of my bedroom, into the big bad world.

Anyone for a LOL, for LMFAO go straight to 1:00

This is when talent over shadows common sense!!!!

I still chose to add the Talent tag, because this is what happens when people get too carried away because the are talented.

Talent + illusion = lmfao

Sorry Yoonha, luff u still tho, am sure u know not to do this again.

Simply Beautiful Yoonha Hwang

This guy is a genius, Piano covers of pop music can go wrong but, he makes the trash we are bombarded with worth listening to. His passive and feather like approach to some of the covers, injects the creativity and passion they are sometimes lacked by the original artists, back into the songs. He complements the emotions of Katy Perry's Teenage Dream, with that uplifing sorrow, you know that inspiring sadness, if you don't understand go and check him out.

I hope he holds a concert in London soon, I'll be 1st on the list.


Loving s&m by Rihanna at the moment,

Yoonhah Wang

Amsterdam to Rotherdam

I am really fascinated by public transport, I love it I spend ridiculous amount on these mode of transport. It's like a mini cruise of the Banal, the network of the modern world. I had the whole carriage to myself, it was a late Saturday evening, June or earlier in the year, I can't remember but it was beautiful. I just got on the train and travelled, I could reflect, I could ponder and reminisce, it was that calm and quietness that I can still remember.
