Shelley Jones is a photographer/film maker, currently working as a freelancer in London and most importantly a friend of Y&Y. Found her through that ‘Space Hoppers in Venice’ video on one of my random vimeo viewing sprees and have kept myself updated on her work ever since. I think it’s safe to say that we’re all quite intrigued by Shelley’s work, more so her concepts and inspiration, so I thought it would be cool to do a mini interview with her. You can have a read of it and see some of her work after the break.

With the recent launch of our new look site, I am happy to be finally doing the first post of my long awaited Unsung Heroes series. Around every star there is always a constellation of stars that also shine bright but often go unnoticed. This applies to the world of music. All successful artists work with geniuses in the background that fans do not necessarily know about or celebrate. I think it’s important to celebrate the musical geniuses behind the artist who make a significant contribution to creating the music and iconic status for the artists that we love. This is a post series of interviews celebrating guitarists, drummers, pianists, DJs, producers, engineers, choreographers and artist managers of the music world. A celebration of the “UnSung heroes”. Y&Y presents UnSung hero #1 Okiem Warmann, accomplished pianist, producer, songwriter and founder of successful youtube site “wannaplaypiano”. Interested yet? Check the Interview on the flipside.

Seeing as DJB’s taking over the Dope Quote for today, I felt I needed a way to On second thoughts, I’ll be doing Dope Quote after I finish writing this post. Steve Jobs passed away over a month ago and he’s still pretty much in the media spotlight. His legacy will live on forever but what made him so special in comparison to his competitors? We get to see the visionary’s creative thinking during a NeXT brainstorm in the period of his career that where he picked up a lot of skills that have made Apple a success. This video is a snippet taking from a series called Entrepreneurs that documents the creation of NeXT from a behind-the-scenes perspective. Notice how he quickly shuts down any stupid ideas from his team. Truly amazing footage from the vault. Watch it on the reverse.
