Sherwin Sleeves (AKA Sean Hurley) is a strange cat. I don’t know if it’s the weather in New Hampshire or what, but I dig his originality nonetheless. He has gained some popularity as a regular contributor to the Ron & Fez show on XM radio, which is how I found out about him. I think my interest in his craft was gained not just by his rather odd musical interpretations of the happenings of a radio comedy show, but by the videos he’s posted and words he’s written. He is a fine pianist who can write music seemingly effortlessly. He’s a master of his art.

If you have a few minutes, watch the video above. The character of Sherwin Sleeves is a bit over the top, but I think it works. If you apply a lot of his concepts about musical composition to the art of photography, you will find that the creative process is very similar. I have been beating the drum about the correlation between music and photography since I started this blog in September, in fact my first real post here was entitled “Music & The Zone“.
