Jack Kerouac and The Beat Generation

I don’t remember how I came to read “On the Road” but this book really inspired my teenage years and still does. It made me discover the writings of Jack Kerouac and the Beat Generation.

Lucien Carr, Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg and William S. Burroughs.

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow Roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars…

Jack Kerouac “On the Road”

Rainy Day

Sometimes rain makes you feel cosy and warm because you are just hearing it and seeing it through the window.

Marie-Claude Hamel Photography

admin — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 15:07:08 +0000

Based in Montreal, Canada, photographer Marie-Claude Hamel from Leitmotiv Studio releases some interesting works which are partly amusing, partly totally confusing and especially sexually provocative which is always the best way to get some attention.

Paying homage to Serge Gainsbourg

admin — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 18:10:35 +0000

He’s a genius, a model, an inspiring artist, a person of exquisite taste and I don’t want to wait for the birthday of his death or whatever to pay him an homage.
