Derek Henderson is one of those kiwis that gets tired of digging for worms everyday and sets off to find out what new and exciting insects the world has to offer him. He has become an internationally respected photographer known mostly for his work in fashion magazines such as Arena Homme Plus, ID, and Vogue and has recently moved from London to Bondi beach in Sydney with his family.

His previous corporate work with huge companies like Coca Cola and Levis, numerous exhibitions and having published two books, 'The Terrible Boredom of Paradise' and most recently 'I Go Down To The River To Pray', are just not enough for this kiwi. He is currently working with directors from Sydney Theatre Company, Cate Blanchett and her husband Andrew Upton, on a publicity campaign, and is about to shoot the summer campaign for Country Road and a worldwide campaign for 42 below Vodka....phew!

They are brilliant. Crisp, and sensitive the photographs hold a moment in time be it with the sensitivity to light or the capturing of ones mood. They are rich in kiwi and I am proud to say, just beautiful.

We have the International Film Festival here in Auckland at the moment which always showcases some of the most amazing films from different eras, different genres and from different parts of the world. A visual treat.
Last weekend we went to see the film 'Gonzo: The life and works of Hunter S.Thompson'. A controversial writer who throughout his career broke new literary and journalistic ground. His idealism and sense of the world around him enabled him to see the world in a clear and pragmatic way, quite possibly a group of skills best used in a written sense. 

I think because of the time that he was in a position to touch his audience, this saw him grow an intense interest in politics and the evolution of the political climate and its pending movements. It made me wonder if his career had developed though out a different time in history what sort of mischief he may have got up to. Even more interesting is the the thought of what he would have made of todays situation. A man who lived and breathed America, it seemed as though the upcoming world issues at the time were heavily involved in his choice to leave the world. But made me wonder what sort of impact he may have had today to the extent that I ask myself could he have played a role in taming todays ongoing disastrous happenings.

Long live the words of Hunter S.Thompson, hopefully we can all take something from what he has said and allow his thoughts to impact on the way we see the world today.

 
While I was searching for an inspiration for a name for anyonegirl.com, I came across a book in our office that I hadn't seen for some time! We have been moving around a bit in the last year so Im always coming across things that I have completley forgtten about! However this book should never (and will never) be forgotten! Smile i-D, edited by Terry Jones, is a Taschen print which looks back at the best 20 years of i-D's history as a magazine. Displaying all the previous magazine covers right back from the '80s to some inside editorial samples...
