Fifteen candles...

Director John Hughes passed away yesterday. He was 59.

For me, Mr Hughes' films loomed large in my formative years, not the least of which is the movie Sixteen Candles from which my own blog moniker hails. Perhaps because his films entertained me (even when I knew better) and echoed my own life experiences (hey, we all carry a bit of teen angst even when an adult) that I'll always appreciate him.

So I pay homage to the man, his talent and his art.
