WIRED Raw-File writer Pete Brook sent a lovely note to picbod after his recent talk ( which you can still listen to here ), just a small thing, but it means a great deal to us and marks him out as the quality article we know him to be. #WeLovePete
“Thank you for your invitation to Coventry. It was an engaging experience with a wise bunch of students.
Please encourage Helen to persist with printing on soap, Adele to create a photography cookbook (i.e. How To Cook Photographs) over the summer, and warn Alex about single-mindedness when it comes to war zones.
Until next time.
Pete”

Perhaps more phonar than picbod but as we assemble our images into a narratives, lots of people are using film stills for inspiration and yet others are creating very filmic moments with their work.
