Harry Benson: Shoot First

Here's a bloke I'd never actually heard of before. I was on the plane back from Scotland scouring the in-flight entertainment to see if there was anything I had missed on the way over. Turns out there was this hidden gem.

Harry Benson is a Scottish photographer who's shot just about every famous fucking photograph in the world. The Beatles, Ali, the Kennedys, Warhol, MLK, wars, famines, assassinations, sports, fashion, art, this dude covered everything, all the time, everywhere. I'm surprised he didn't just happen to be on the moon when Armstrong took his first step.

This is a good documentary about the man behind the lens. He's funny. He's bold and brash. He's a good dude. And he's incredibly talented. You'd be hard pressed to find a living photographer who's documented so many iconic moments in history and created so many iconic photographs in the process. Literally amazing stuff.

Oasis: Supersonic

It's been a year since this came out. Time freakin flies, man.

I was one the plane to Scotland and there was honestly fuck all to watch. I loved this documentary but would have preferred to have dug into some new stuff instead. Anyway, I decided to watch it again instead of Baywatch the Movie or Fast and the Furious 20 or whatever...

It's still a brilliant doc. Loved it all over again. Still highly recommended.
