Continued from my last post ….. To say that Josh and I before Covid were busy, is a massive understatement. Life and work has a way of infilling every part of one’s schedule. Children, work, prep, house, work, children. All the great things. But little room left for a crazy art project. Whilst being a worldwide tragedy, Covid allowed Josh and I to engage and collaborate with @hthobson and @Manija.Emran at @meandthebootmaker . We wanted to have a visual/poetry/design slam where each person, being inspired by the riffing and discussion of the other’s, use one anothers work to launch an idea from. It was the most punk rock experience i’ve had, with no rules. No reasons, and no limitations. It also reminded me why I got into film in the first place. I get so inspired by other peoples work, when working with them, that I lift my game, and hopefully give back to them something they’d never done by themselves. This time though, it wasn’t film. It was being published. It gives me great pleasure, and a great honor to introduce our book.

Do what must be done. #DunePartTwo only in theaters November 3.
As if 2019 wasn’t the most incredible year where i got to lens Denis Villeneuve’s insanely amazing Dune, it was also the year I re-engaged my love of the still image. Not being much of a multi-tasker i declined Denis’ early request to photograph while we worked together but he, in his suave French-Canadian way, convinced me otherwise and I proceeded to document the film in a very unofficial, almost spontaneous way. Most of my first images sucked. Most were terribly exposed. Most were mis-framed and most were destroyed by some quirk in my soviet camera package which i dearly loved (and love). What became apparent though, through careful editing and analysis, was that these images had heart and soul because they came from a very personal place. They were not created for any commercial reason — not to make anybody look or feel good — but for no reason. Nothing. They were just because images, only meaningful to me and the incredible experience I was having. But in my mind, an image for no reason, has no purpose. Enter stage left, @joshbrolin Josh and I had quite a number of conversations about his writing. Whilst no scholar, I have over the years developed a deep fascination and appreciation for poetry and prose. I had always enjoyed reading Josh’s writing on social media and we talked often about this. It was around this time my images were starting to come back from the lab, and a visual pattern was forming. @tanyalapointe , a producer on Dune, as well as the author of what would become the beautiful ‘The Art and Soul of Dune’, Josh and myself started talking about what perhaps could come from these images. Or what could become from Josh’s words. Or both There, on a sandy set in Budapest began the kernel of an idea which sounded incredible, and could be incredible, if it wasn’t for the lack of life’s most precious commodity. Time. Enter stage right: #Covid. TO BE CONTINUED……
