50 years ago, Herbie Hancock's Headhunters album released. One of the most incredible, iconic albums of all time. Chameleon, the opening track, clocking in at just under 16 minutes, is ultimate funk. Herbie's solo bridges the gap between music and sound design, and he's one of the only people who is undeniably a master of synth improv. Listen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqomTAiRnVM

Philip Woolway | "Headhunters - Only if you are alive" - Only if you are alive when they take your skull can the Borneo headhunters carve their ornate tribal patterns. To take the head from your opponent in battle is the highest honour. Once the head is yours then the vanquished will be your slave in the afterlife, so much at stake.
Many of the skulls featured in the shot are believed to be over 200 years old and possibly from Portuguese sailors who invaded the islands.
Philip Woolway | Passion Flower - A still life study of the magnificent and intricate passion flower in full bloom featuring both full facing and side views. Captured in macro detail for every spec of pollen.
The name ‘passion flower’ refers to the passion of Jesus and the genus therefore has a particular relevance at Easter. Spanish Christian missionaries adopted the unique structure of the plant as symbols of the last days of Jesus and especially his crucifixion. The symbolism of the different floral parts is as follows:
the five petals and five sepals taken together represent the ten faithful apostles (excluding St Peter the denier and Judas the betrayer)
the flower’s radial filaments or corona represent the crown of thorns
the three stigmas represent the three nails and the five anthers the five wounds (four by nails and one by the lance)
the tendrils represent the whips used in the flagellation of Christ
Philip Woolway | "Larry" - The story is that Larry was, in a previous life a janitor at a French medical institute. Larry enjoyed his work and worked there all his life. At his request he left his body to the institute for medical research. I think the single tooth grinning at me convinced me in an instance that a photograph was demanded.

03/02/24 - Gravity Falls S1E03 Headhunters
5/5 Stars
6/5 in my heart. The first tell to new veiwers that this show isnt afraid to go to dark places like Attempted Child Murder. Also a really funny episode. Nailed every damn joke. Perfect television.
