Llorenç Moyà i Gilabert de la Portella (Binissalem, 1916-Palma de Mallorca, 1981). Poeta, dramaturg i narrador. Llicenciat en Dret (1943), assidu participant de la vida intel·lectual de Mallorca i col·laborador de la premsa insular, especialment a Última Hora (1977-1981).
Inicia la seva obra poètica seguint els cànons de l’Escola Mallorquina, amb poemaris com La joglaressa i la selecció poètica La bona terra (1949). Als anys cinquanta s’acosta al postsimbolisme i la seva estètica s’uneix amb els nous corrents poètics. Evoluciona cap a un marcat barroquisme amb Ocells i peixos (1953), Via Crucis (Premi Mn. Alcover 1960) o La posada de la núvia (Premi Ciutat de Palma 1955). Durant els anys seixanta escriu obres on introdueix els mites clàssics amb una intenció de denúncia, com Polifem i Hispania Citerior (editades el 1981), peces en plena relació amb el moment històric que es viu. Als anys setanta escriu I, tanmateix, pallasso… (1978) i d’altres peces de caràcter més intimista.
El teatre culte de Moyà també conté una finalitat crítica i és aplegat en el volum Teatre de la llibertat (1993), on destaca Fàlaris (Premi Ignasi Iglésies 1961) i el drama històric El fogó dels jueus (Premi Ciutat de Palma de teatre 1963). Posteriorment es decanta per la recreació del teatre tradicional mallorquí i a partir de 1977 escriu un conjunt d’entremesos, reunits en quatre trilogies, entre elles, El ball de les baldufes (1981). Influenciat per Llorenç Villalonga i Camilo José Cela, també escriu narrativa. Publica l’aplec A Robines també plou (1958), la novel·la curta Viatge al país de les cantàrides (1993) i Memòries literàries (1971, en volum el 2004).

This is a photo that has been a long time in the making...twenty years in fact. Where does the time go? ;-)
A portrait of the truly fabulous Eddi Reader (former lead singer with Fairground Attraction), performing earlier tonight at Edinburgh's Festival Theatre.
I first saw Eddi perform in 1988 at a gig in Southampton Mayfair (I was a postgrad student at the time), when Fairground Attraction were the support act for Deacon Blue. I had seen Deacon Blue once before, but this was just before both groups enjoyed chart success.
There aren't too many times when you come away from a concert having been "wowed" by the support group, but this was one of those occasions. Certainly, as an exiled Scot at the time, it was a joy for me just to hear a Scottish accent. :-)
Eddi had (and continues to have) a commanding stage presence. She exploded onto the stage that night like a force of nature...a mass of red hair...windmilling arms...and a great voice.
A major regret for me is that I never took any shots of her that night. Yes...I should have...drat! I had smuggled my camera into the gig...and was trying to remain "low profile" before Deacon Blue came on (lest I be stopped from taking photos)...and my high speed film was finite (no more than two rolls). So, I didn't take any shots of Fairground Attraction...but should have...D'Oh!
Tonight, I was finally able to make amends, and this is one of the shots I took. I was also able to correct my earlier failure in some style...since I was armed with an official photo pass, for which my considerable thanks are due to my FNPE (that's Friendly Neighbourhood Picture Editor...as you may recall!), Alex Hewitt from The Scotsman.
All this...and I was able to have a brief chat with Eddi after the gig and show her some of my shots. If she thought they sucked, she was gracious enough to hide it...and I'll be passing on my best shots from the gig to her. :-)
If you are unfamiliar with her music, please find out more for yourself by visiting her websites:
Lincoln's Inn Fields, 4 pm. I explained the project, and she said it was a good idea. She is reading (and, in another shot, annotating) 'Taming Your Outer Child' by Susan Anderson.

"The readers get drowned in a world that not too many can"
I'm not a big reader because I think I'm very selective with the books I read. I love stories; good stories with tricks at the end, with not common characters and when I read those kind of books I get into this amazing world I can't even describe!
This is a technique that I love, and I'm trying to get into.
Making photos with simple illustrations in them! I did for this photo because is maybe the way I feel when I read, imagining things everywhere.
Here's another picture of my series on readers who take advantage of the nice weather to read outside everywhere. /
Voici une autre photo de ma série sur les lecteurs/lectrices qui profitent de la belle température pour lire dehors un peu partout.
Outside the National Theatre, about 6:40 pm, between the two parts of 'Angels in America'. He is reading Colm Toibin's 'The Testament of Mary'. I explained the project and asked his permission. The original idea was to get him with the statue of Olivier, but he just gets lost in a wider shot.

Outside reading. Started on a new book by Henning Mankell called Before the frost. It's a crime novel. His serie about the policeman Kurt Wallander is awesome!

Hmm...let's see...most widely read magazine in the world...translated in 19 languages...global readership of more than 100 million...
"Uh, sure, I guess you can use my photograph..." :-)
