I love this shot by Tim Walker called White Drama. As the story goes, Vogue's fashion editor Phyllis Posnick wanted to shoot Rei Kawakubo's designs for Comme des Garçons. The clothes were loaned with the condition that they would only be shot in studio. When the models arrived on set, the photographer decided he didn't want a studio shoot. It was the middle of winter, the ground was muddy and it was cold, so he put the models in thermal underwear, took them to a nearby forest, sprayed the area with fake snow and put boards on the ground so the immaculate white shoes wouldn't get dirty. The shoot was over in an hour and Comme des Garçons were in love with the shot. This one of a kind print will be auctions for between £10,000 - 15,000. Moral of the story: follow your dreams, break the rules, never take no for an answer and you can create magic. You may even laugh all the way to the bank. #inspiration #whoreonatour #iconic #timwalker #phyllisposnick #commesdesgarcons (at Phillips, 30 Berkeley Square, London W1J 6Ex)

What do I title this? The contrary nature of Barbadians? Should it be symbolic of the quiet yet determined ways that Barbadians have resisted the yoke of oppression for centuries? Or just call it random because that's exactly how this shot came about. Simply a case of being in the right place at the right time. #Barbados #streetphotography #oneway #speightstown (at Speightstown, Barbados)

Rounding out #nationalbestfriendday sorry #nationalbestfriendweek I pause to reflect on celebrating the wonderful influence these close influential people have had on my life. These are my foundation and support systems, who I can truly turn to in times of need. If I had to start to talk about the fellowship, the brotherhood, the bromance between Lennon and I this post would go on forever. What would I touch on, our shared darkness, our wanderlust, our creativity that when mixed produces things we hadn't seen before? I don't want to get sentimental on Instagram 😅 so I'll just settle for saying I love him, if you can comprehend love in the purest sense of the word, uncorrupted by any negative emotion. He had helped to shape me to the man I am today and I thank him

It's amazing the way light can reveal or expose things, blind you, disorient you, focus attention or pull attention away from something. #sunset #light #Barbados #islandlife (at St. Lawrence Gap, Barbados)
