We're gonna miss the candyman
The great Terry Callier died last night at the age of 67. Reports are that he was found dead in his home, but no details were given of where 'home' was or the details surrounding his death.
Today one of the most repeated headlines about it states that 'like England's Nick Drake, the Chicago-based Callier was largely overlooked for much of his artistic prime'. He truly was. He's often seen as one of those unsung heroes of jazz for releasing critically acclaimed albums that failed to find big commercial success. Now that doesn't change the fact that he was a huge influence and inspiration for the many people who got to appreciate his phenomenal talent. They (we) will probably agree with something he once said: “People respond to me because I’m a throwback to an older tradition that believed you should do more than sing a song for an audience, that you should make people feel something. You can make accessible music and still sing about love and peace and truth and life and death. In the end, those are the only things that matter.”
Farewell Terry, you made it count, you will be missed.

Alive.n.kicking Photography meets Goho Estudio's mural painting
Recently my friend (and by the way excellent visual artist) Aleix Gordo Hostau from Goho Estudio asked me to do the photo coverage of a huge wall painting at the new Hotel Vincci Bit Barcelona. Each floor has been decorated by a different artist, in this particular case Aleix and his team painted an area of 200m2 over a month of hard work. It looks pretty AWESOME.
To check all the footage go to this album on my website, and if you want to know more abut the whole project just click here.

Recientemente mi buen amigo (y de paso excelente artista visual) Aleix Gordo Hostau de Goho Estudio me encargó hacer un reportaje fotográfico sobre el mural que ha realizado en el nuevo hotel Vincci Bit Barcelona. Cada planta del Hotel ha sido decorada por un artista diferente, en este caso Aleix y su equipo han cubierto con sprays y pinceles una superficie de mas de 200m2 a lo largo de todo un mes de trabajo. Ha quedado MUY impresionante.

People with Guts and Soul #3 Xavi Olle
Xavi Ollé es un fenómeno. Es un ingeniero de sonido excepcional pero sobre todo un tio genuino que si no hubiese nacido en el Baix Llobregat seguro que lo hubiera hecho en Nashville (si no que se lo pregunten a los miembros de su banda, 'The Booty hunters').
Cuando le pregunté si había algun lugar en particular en el que le gustaría que hiciesemos la sesión enseguida me habló de un rincón remoto en el Montseny donde siendo un crio solía ir a bañarse cada verano.. asi que alli nos fuimos con un banjo y unas cervezas, a repetir la foto unas cuantas décadas después, rodeados de mosquitos y los 35 grados de rigor de finales de Julio.
Pasaros por mi web para verle protagonizar la tercera entrega de la serie PEOPLE WITH GUTS AND SOUL, esta vez con banda sonora de bluegrass. Aqui va.

Xavi Ollé is a phenomenon. He is an excepcional sound engineer and a genuine man who if hadn't been born at the baix LLobregat would definitely have come into the world in Nashville (ask his band mates at 'The Booty Hunters' and they'll tell you)
When i asked him if there would be any particular place he would like to pick up for the shooting he immediately mentioned this remote spot at the Montseny where he used to go swimming during the summers when he was a little kid.. so there we went with a banjo and a bunch of beers to recreate the picture a few decades later, surrounded by an army of mosquitos and the usual 35 degrees of a late July day.
Swing by my website to see him star at the third chapter of PEOPLE WITH GUTS AND SOULseries, this time with a bluegrass soundtrack. Here it goes.

People with Guts and Soul #2 Luis Lecumberry
Luis Lecumberry es uno de esos tipos que no tienen por costumbre ir besando culos ni formando parte del rebaño. Ser humano inconformista, fumador de puros, aficionado taurino convencido, periodista, fotógrafo musical de calidad indiscutible, 'bon vivant', pero sobre todo.. genio y figura.
Protagoniza la segunda imagen de PEOPLE WITH GUTS AND SOUL, y nos cuenta de su puño y letra cómo ve la vida y a si mismo. Alto y bien clarito.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Luis Lecumberry is the kind of folk who doesn't really go with the mainstream or consider ass-kissing as an option. A non-comformist human being, cigar smoker, convinced bullfighting fan, journalist, music photographer extraordinaire, 'bon vivant', but over all.. a one of a kind persona.
Starring at the second shot of PEOPLE WITH GUTS AND SOUL series, he tell us by his own hand how he sees life and himself. Loud and clear.
Come by my website, you'll find a selection of images from the shooting. Pure In-Fadel Castro style.
