My Dad bought me my first John Coltrane album. I was 15. ‘Love Supreme’ opened up my little blue eyes & naive ears. One of the greatest musicians to ever live — he gave me, & you, a musical prayer of gratitude & true expression of himself. Happy 100th Birthday to him. 🖤 youtu.be/qagOblqhBhk

The man in the image, face downcast and sitting exhausted and alone in the mess room, is the trapped caretaker of a dying industry, which will be the likely death of him too.
It is a role familiar from gothic fiction: the loyal servant chained to a crumbling house, keeping it standing long after it was condemned; the audience looking on in anguish, disconcerted by their knowledge of what the future holds.

Sunday Jazz Cal Tjader Lover Come Back To Me (1959) 🎶 buff.ly/bwrOTV8 📷 Tania Franco Klein (2018) Plane (self-portrait) sequence #sundayjazz #jazzsky

Four-panel black-and-white sequence of a woman with short curly hair, seen from behind in a bra, walking across a grassy field toward a small single-engine plane on the horizon.

Clarinetist Adrian Cox is passionate about the vintage New Orleans sound, and when asked about his primary influence, he cites Edmond Hall—a New Orleans musician who recorded with Billie Holiday and Lester Young in the late 1930s.

This was my first Brighton flat. 1988. I didn’t own a wide angle lens so shot this in sections. Still have the books, leather chair, Blake’s death mask, the Seurat, Nick’s linocuts, white lamp, drum, duck, fish fossil & LPs including Television’s Greatest Theme Tunes. #believeinfilm #photography

Reading Emma Cline’s, ’The Girls’ & the mention of testing “your makeup look in different lights (natural, office, dusk).” dragged me right back to 1976 & my Clairol True-to-Light mirror. ”The constant project of our girl selves seeming to require odd and precise attentions.“

A plastic three way mirror with lights running down the side. Switches and knobs for adjusting the lights.

Wow! 'Comrades in Art: Artists Against Fascism' exhibition at Eastbourne's Towner Art Gallery was an uplifting & revelatory experience. The best exhibition I've seen this year. All about the Artists’ International Association, it punched home the power of mobilising art in dark political times.

Cahors Cathedral

A massive, Byzantine-style dome over its nave. This massive structure is among the largest medieval dome in southwestern France.

It is built on curved supports called pendentives and covered in blue slate on the exterior.

This dome contains striking 14th-century paintings and represent Saint-Etienne praying, surrounded by St. Paul and 13 medieval figures. They in turn are surrounded by eight prophets.
