When Music Comes to Life
Some more fun with a few train figures. These were inspired by the idea of music coming to life when we hear it… maybe there’s really a little band playing inside our headphones and speakers, bringing the songs to life. ;) Photos © CJ Levinson 2021

Self-Portraits (Part Two)
I took these last night for a bit of fun. I like to do some festive self-portraits in the lead up to Christmas and after I had a lot of fun doing my some studio-style self-portraits a few week ago, I thought I’d do these in the same style too. I like how they came out…

I Can’t See New York
Seventeen years ~Feels like a lifetime,And yesterday ~We remember In some ways it’s hard to believe that it’s been seventeen years since September 11. It seems like an age ago – it was more than half my lifetime ago now, in fact. The world has changed so much. And yet in other ways it barely…

Beautiful Bag End
In a hole in the ground there lived a Hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a Hobbit-hole, and that means comfort. ~ JRR Tolkien, The…

The I Am Blues
Just a quick note. Some of you may remember a poem I wrote a few years ago called I Am. Apparently it’s just been turned into a song. I didn’t know anything about it and only recently stumbled across it via Google; I had licensed it under a creative commons licence and it looks like…

Video: Do You Remember?
Didn’t really get a chance to mention this in my last post but I’m starting a new project I thought a few people might be interested in. I explain more in the video above but basically I’m starting a kind of video diary while I’m writing the novel; hopefully it will show how it all…

Oscar Haiku
I love the Oscars. I’m a big movie buff so watching the Oscars is one of my favourite things each year. It always brings back a lot of memories, particularly of certain films and where I was at that time in my life. I can still remember when Roberto Benigni won; he was so happy…

Aussie Jingle Bells
It’s hard to believe it’s almost Christmas again, isn’t it? It doesn’t seem like that long ago since we were wrapping gifts and singing Christmas songs last year. 2009’s gone by so quickly. Or maybe I’m just getting older. I enjoy Christmas but for different reasons than I used to. I’m not religious anymore but…

Songs of the 00s
Have you seen this video? It was recorded in 2005 at New York University’s annual talent competition, Ultraviolet Live. It’s sung by a young woman called Stefani Germanotta. Or, as she’s now known, Lady Gaga. Hard to recognise her, isn’t it? It’s a good performance, notably without any of the histrionics she’s become known for.…

Gone Too Soon
I’m still stunned by the last couple of days. It’s hard to believe we’ve lost two of the most iconic stars of the twentieth century in one day. I’ve been reading the tributes from around the world for both Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett but I think this one by Cathy Babao Guballa captures the…
