Carnival Life

The Carnivalesque: a term which refers to a literary mode that subverts and liberates the assumptions of the dominant style or atmosphere through humor and chaos.

[Charlotte, Sheffield]

Your handwriting. The way you walk. Which china pattern you choose. It’s all giving you away. Everything you do shows your hand. Everything is a self portrait. Everything is a diary.

Narrative. Life.

New York - Brooklyn Bridge Sunset by Philipp Klinger Photography

The Brooklyn Bridge always makes me want to ‘be better’, it reminds me of the ‘responsibility. Man for man’ that Arthur Miller taught me about in All My Sons. There was a photograph of the bridge on my A-level copy of the text. The connection remains.

These are great photographs. The sun makes me hopeful.
