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

A - very good mate. cheers - I.
 


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.
 
The black robot zombies moving under the command of the giant monster owls. Great shot I. Like it.
