After losing my entire interview with my friend Nataniel due to peculiar technical errors, I decided that it was still significant to make a short video from the remains, as Nataniel's was the last interview for Indigo Boy. It is almost as if Nat was silenced by the universe. If I am momentarily sentimental I could go so far as to say that this wise and creative man was silenced by things out of my control; exactly like so many men (and women) in history. However, the song in the background can not be silenced, it will live on to tell a story! I have never seen Nat so vulnerable, and this is why I am so deeply disappointed that I have lost most of the footage.

In this 'lost interview' Nataniel discussed his journey to become the successful businessman he is today, his love for children, his quest for happiness and a peaceful world free from judgment. We also discussed his creative process and his secrets for maintaining his relentless work pace. Some months he performs live up to 24 times! Unbelievable!

My photo-shoot turned out to be a wonderful success and this is evidence enough of my own creative process. Artists should be allowed to make mistakes, play, loose and find creative sparks; my lost footage is pure evidence of this process. I can never capture the same magic again, it is lost somewhere in the ether.

...i am earning my face...
