yesterday

muchas gracias

Another magical day in my life story.
I am in Lounge Lover, a bar in Shoreditch, closed until evening, that is filled with quirky antiques, chairs, mirrors, glass birds, chandeliers. Its an Alice through the looking glass kindof place, somewhere you wouldn't be surprised to see the Mad Hatter sipping on a quiet storm with the white rabbit.
We have just finished shooting David Schwimmer and now Tom Baxter is camera-ready.
I bought Tom Baxter's CD, Feather and Stone, maybe 4 years ago when I was still in Atlanta, knowing nothing of the artist, but having read a short review. And now here he stands before me, acoustic guitar in hand, strumming a little. I ask him if he takes requests, and he graciously performs my favourite song of his, all the way through, to an audience of 4. Myself, Ido, Ross from Friends, and Zoe, all the while snapping her camera.
The sweetness and simple beauty of this moment captures me in its hands and holds me there.
