Clever advert for Classical Music Concert
Belgium's B-Classic music festival, whose mission is to "give classical music the same recognition as pop and rock music," brings us a rather interesting sensory collision in the form of the music video below, promoting its "Classic Comeback" competition. Korean pop-dance group Waveya interprets the godfather of Slavonik dance music (and Brahm's brosef) Antonín Leopold Dvořák in the three-minute synchronized bump-'n'-grind-gyration-twerk-fest set to "Symphony No. 9 Allegro con fuoco." The video, shot by Raf Reyntjens in South Korea, is cleverly edited and choreographed, albeit shameless in its attempts at drawing in a younger demographic. See, the organizers of the festival believe "the kids" simply need more access to classical music.

Commercial work re-cap
As I'm working on my new website at the moment, I realise there's nowhere I can show evidence of my published commercial photography, namely, the work I did helping the think-tank BritainThinks, who were running the consumer engagement plan for Smart Meters. I travelled to focus-group sessions in London, Edinburgh and Cardiff and captured the meetings in full swing.
They've added my photos to their Consumer Engagement Plan document found here on pages 2 - 6:

2013, a year in Sexism
Very well put together by the Guardian, http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/womens-blog/2013/dec/20/2013-year-in-sexism
including a report on UKIPs largest donor, Demetri Marchessini, on how women are just.. getting it all wrong!
http://www.theguardian.com/society/2013/may/17/ukip-donor-women-hostile-trousers
Excerpt:
"Walk along any street and you see women using trousers like a uniform every single day. This is hostile behaviour. They are deliberately dressing in a way that is opposite to what men would like. It is behaviour that flies against common sense, and also flies against the normal human desire to please."
Marchessini said women should not wear trousers because they are meant for men's bodies. He said: "The interesting thing about this phenomenon is that, because women cannot see themselves from the rear, the vast majority of women are unaware that trousers are very unflattering to them. Trousers are made for men's bodies, which are mostly straight up and down. "Women's bodies on the other hand consists of curves. Women have big bottoms – they are meant to have big bottoms. Countless women who would look lovely in dresses or skirts are embarrassingly unattractive in trousers."
