So David Bailey

The talk on wednesday night, hosted by D&AD at Logan hall, was amazing.


A good hour and a half gave Bailey plenty of time to indulge the audience on amazing stories about his struggle with dyslexia and how in the end it really aided his success. 

There was also a lot of discussion into what helped make good photography, and being able to recognise an opportune accident, from a bad accident. The intelligence of a bad accident, like in one of his experiences with a lens which was messed up in production, and therefore made the pictures not quite what they were supposed to be, but in-fact still made beautiful images. Bailey had the intelligence to appreciate the accident and used it to his advantage. 

"Make your own mistakes be true to yourself, do what you want" - brief note. 

He also spoke about the accidental nature of the universe. He really opened your eyes to the opportunities which we over look everyday. 

Truly inspirational.
