Six feet under and Peter Gabriel – a quick post about inspiration

“Six feet under” and Peter Gabriel, these two storytellers are keeping my inspiration above water during this ice cold season.

I grew up with MTV (thanks to my supporting parents who got us a satellite dish, even though it was considered bad in our community)
Peter Gabriel always makes the most of his 4 minute songs by adding wonderful visuals. MTV must have felt the same way cause they sure did play him alot. Solsbury Hill below is a good example. I absorb them just as happily now as I did when I was a kid.

Also “Six Feet under” is a great source of inspiration. It reminds me of all the things that got me into photography in the first place. I love the way they tell the story of this disfunctional but lovely funeral home family. How it’s complex but never pretentious and funny even though it’s mostly about death.
