Patience (After Sebald) 
The above is a trailer for a documentary by Grant Gee in which he retraces W.G Sebald’s route along the Suffolk coast - the setting for his novel The Rings of Saturn. I’ve tried to express the depth of my admiration for Sebald on this blog before and failed so I won’t try again. I’m very much looking forward to tracking this down and watching it. Details of the film’

Maersk aims high but shoots itself in the foot
This is a bold, beautiful, but ultimately inept production from Maersk. At times during the film’s somewhat grandiose 12-minute running time, we find the company teetering on the brink of relevance beyond operational excellence but it constantly withdraws to the safety of platitudinous soundbites about its way of doing business. The problem is Maersk’s scale. As the script notes at th

Edward Gorey
A recent post on the excellent Covenger and Kester has made me aware of the work of Edward Gorey, an American writer and illustrator who almost never left his Cape Cod home, was an avid consumer of pop culture (he was a big fan of Cheers), and rarely missed a performance of the New York City Ballet.

December
My loveliest memory of December was the flight back to England (first shot above). We left in early morning darkness and climbed above the clouds into daylight - an interzone of cerise stillness between here and there, everywhere and nowhere.

The title of this post is pilfered - it’s the name of the opening track of the Pure X album ‘Pleasure’. But it seemed apt for this selection of shots from my first roll of black and white film. There’s not enough light in any of them but I’ve deliberately avoided doing any post-processing - I like the opacity. I think part of what I love about film is, even when y

October & November
Danish winters are often to be endured rather then enjoyed but I’ve been having a good one so far. Sofie’s getting bigger by the day - we’re expecting a girl at the end of February and we can’t wait. We went down to Langeland for a long weekend and were lucky with some gorgeous autumn sun. Otherwise work took me to Nuremberg and Karlskrona, I had a lovely
