Interests: photography, painting, sculpture, nature, aesthetics, creative writing, poetry, playing cello, classical music, folk, running, tennis, horse riding
Music: The main genre of music I listen to would be classical and/or folk. My firm favourites include Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes, Iron & Wine, Mumford & Sons, Arcade Fire, Laura Marling, Bob Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel, Andrew Bird
Books: I prefer poetry and plays to novels, to be perfectly honest, I feel there is significant evidence of better/more considerate craftsmanship in such endeavours. My favourite poetry to this end is that of the metaphysical poets though I too appreciate the Romantics’ focus on the individual being/the Self in relation to nature.
Movies: If it is well directed, written and shot, I will watch it. If it’s a pointless blow-stuff-up action Hollywood blockbuster, chances are I will not enjoy it. I'm a sucker for interesting colour palettes and highly stylized films.

Favourite Quotations:
"Art is not a study of positive reality, it is the seeking for ideal truth." (John Ruskin)

"Hold on to what you believe in the light
When the darkness has robbed you of all your sight" (Mumford & Sons)

"This is not the sound of a new man or crispy realization
It's the sound of the unlocking and the lift away" (Bon Iver)

About Me: Greetings, I’m Isaac Eli Lehrer.

Art is my one true love, writing my trusty companion, and music my sometime-mistress.

I have a soft spot for good white wine, an adoration of Thai cuisine, and a fondness of organic/natural forms in art and design.

I also evidently enjoy, appreciate, and covet tripling when it comes to the written word!

Geoffrey Freeman commented on your album:
So Benedict can be seen with you at a classy party, but not ol' Bespectacled Hobo over here. I see how it is.

I. See. How. It. Is.

Isaac Lehrer replied to your comment:
I know, it's terrible really, you really ought to talk to Benedict about how it makes you feel. Do not let him shy away from that conversation, my friend.

Isaac, somehow one of your shirts ended up in my luggage from NY. I suggest you come by and collect it before I see sense and burn it for the crime it commits against fashion. And before you pretend to be affronted, you know my frankness and honesty is what you love me for, really. x
