Photography/Interview – Under the Blue Light with Pearl Charles
Artist: Pearl Charles Photographer: John Allen Producer: Nathan Edge HMU: Kate Leatherwood Styling: Nicky Turner Inspiration for this photoshoot was taken from retro photography, a mix of psychedelia and screenshots from The Holy Mountain.

God & Tragedy: 2012 In Review
God and Tragedy In the wake of the shootings that occurred in the year 2012, and the reaction they engendered, I found it to be a good time to talk about a few of the issues America as a nation has been faced with. Firstly, the initial reaction to any tragedy such as this is horror – as it should be. Compassion and prayers for the families affected should be first and foremost on our minds and hearts for those who have lost loved ones, and for the children who underwent this horrible trauma.
