Photo of the day

I had a plaster cast of that screaming face......exactly the same just in 3D! :) great photo.

Thanks P. - I really enjoy photographing graffiti - the Spanish are good at it. I like the ephemeral nature of it. That and somebody else has done all the work for you - you just need to point a camera at it and get it in focus. cheers - I.
 
Mate - I hope your part of Spain maintains its regional identify for as long as possible. Where you are is one of the few bits of the country I haven't been to yet. It'll be joined to the AVE soon enough I'm sure. That's one of the many things I love about the country - they have the sense to invest in a decent rail system. A Rolex - ha ha - I wish, I wish - cheers - I.
Yeah, Asturias is pretty nifty. Super green mountains from lots of rain and a spectacular coast. And remember, "Asturias is Spain and the rest is conquered land". Tough people who stood up to Franco and is where the Reconquista all started.
 
Starting "The Dark Side" week with following image. In 1999 I was invented by a friend to his father in law´s place North of New York to spend the weekend. An old barn rebuilt into a residential building where he, a painter, lived with his wife deep in an endless forest. No neighbours around. The whole house was very creepy filled with countless vintage stuff. From the ceillings dangled bouquets of dried plants and flowers. Both were artists and create little gods and creatures made of the things they found and collected. You saw them everywhere and gave the whole place the atmosphere of a witch`s cottage.

Haunting image Alexander. Ethereal was the word that came to mind.

The 'Darkside' - I find it fascinating that as we live in an increasingly digitised, robotic, sanitised and supposedly rational world the popularity of the 'Darkside' in mainstream culture has never waned - it's increasing if anything. I have my theories but there isn't space here to explore that. All manner of irrational ideas are bomb-proof box office, TV and book-shop successes. Which is odd in some ways - the original Stoker 'Dracula' was a remarkably modern book for its time. If you haven't read it - it's superb - genuinely terrifying in places.
Malaga - Leica M6 - 50mm - Fuji film. cheers - I.
 
I'm asumming the trees have grown in an old grave yard, good shot.
That´s right, P. It is one of the old Jewish graveyards in East Berlin. Shot it from the livingrooms balcony of a friends apartment in the district Prenzlauer Berg. I am angry today that I had the Lubitel 166 with me and not my Rolleiflex. Image is therefore not really sharp and you see on the top right corner, there is a light incident. Two weeks after that shot my friend moved to a different apartment and I was back in Bremen, where I lived at that time.

From a series shot for a collaborative exhibition with a fine-art photographer friend inspired by Goya's 'Los caprichos,' - specifically - in this case - No.43 - 'el sueno de la razon produce monstrous,' - the sleep of reason produces monsters. Owls have a folklore connection to witches in Spanish speaking cultures. They feature in the original etching.
Malaga - rangefinder and film - I.
