Three photo shoots in one week. Phew! I love collaborating. When people think "photo shoot", you think "ego", "glamour" and waiting on the subject's every beck and call, right? In reality it really can’t work if anyone has an ego. Self fullfilment, whether it comes from the star, the director, the producer or whoever, often means disaster for the project. The project is everything. The art. Not the individual.
By the end of next month (cross fingers) "Love. Feel. Dangerous." will finally be let out to roam the iTunes wilderness. With any luck, before Christmas. There's a pretty special orchestral version of "Unsaveable" on there and another remix from my favourite DJs, SpekrFreks.
I’ve also been working on a little side (very different) project that should be released before New Year. I’m so lucky.
Add to that, I’m involved in making a film. The challenges are somewhat tenfold. An array of dedicated individuals slaving away for the love of the art, again. Damn you art and your persitent wanting! More on that bonanza some other time.
Lately I've been thinking of the world as one big collaboration. Life is more of a pleasure when you decide to work with it rather that expecting it to work for you.
Brilliant.
