An industry built by creative iconoclasts is suddenly desperate to prove creativity is a mere commodity.

Rather relieved I am no longer tasked with casting or subject to outside whims doing so.

In the last couple of months I transformed countless graffiti tags into proclamations, loan agreements, job application letters, checks, signed apologies and petitions.

A few years ago, architectural photographer Andy Marshall stood outside Wells Cathedral for a full day and photographed the impact of the light on the front facade. This amazing montage is the result.

“I was amazed at the outcome - at how a single entity could morph and change under the changing light”, says Marshall.

But what’s this image doing on this page? As a chart of the impact over time of sunlight on a specific location, I would say this qualifies as a (strange) map.

Located in the county of Somerset in south west England, Wells (pop. 11,000) is England’s second-smallest city by area and population (both times after the City of London).

In 'The Cathedrals of England' (1967), Alec Clifton-Taylor calls Wells Cathedral “one of the most beautiful (and) most poetic” of English cathedrals.

Its oldest part dating to the early 8th century, the church building has played a part in many key events in English history, from the establishment of the bishop's see of Wells in 909 by Athelm, who later crowned Athelstan, considered to be the first King of England; to the funeral in 2011 of Harry Patch, the last British WWI veteran.

A German polka band made a brass band version of "Sweet Child Of Mine" that instantly went viral on YouTube and it's easy to see why. Wearing leather shorts and waistcoats, they look like they just stepped off the set of Heidi. When they launch into the unmistakable opening riff, you quickly realise there are no guitars in this performance as the opening riff is played on a trumpet - and it sounds fabulous. As the rest of the band join in, we get a mixture of the accordion, the clarinet, the drums and the trombone as they pull off a masterpiece remake of this classic song. Watch video in comments below 👇
