London Grammar's "Wasting My Young Years" is evocative. The singer's voice and aching lyrics would have attracted me anyway, but the video is mind blowing in its simultaneous complexity and simplicity. The images from the video, dancers in mid-jump/fall captured using hundreds of film-based pinhole cameras, move me deeply. The ingenuity required to pull this off is phenomenally inspiring. I watch the video at least once a week as a way to prime my creative juices.
This image was shot using a Polaroid 250, not a pinhole camera, but I think it comes close to capturing the emotion I feel watching "Wasting My Young Years".
