Waterfilm is a series filmed since 2012 based on the idea of filming with a freehand camera for a period of exactly one minute.this series illustrates the meditative qualities of water in an urban environment It is my belief that the close observation of this essential element has the ability to influence our perceptions. Each film is intended to be a short meditation – take your time to feel it, but don’t swim away too far...

The racing gods felt compelled to make todays racing test day at VIR at best difficult with lightning strike delays and tornado warnings. To get even with them, I have posted a pirated copy of the color perception test composed of raindrops striking the blue/gray tarp on my bright orange racecar. If you got the hidden number you passed the test.
My first Lovetones Doll!
I have been wanting one for a while but they always seemed so far out of reach for some reason. I hadn’t been following their releases very closely, but after getting a grail Agnes my perceptions about doll availability changed and I started looking in earnest.
SO glad I even looked because I fell in love HARD with this Roxy! So very lucky that she was still available!
I love everything about her! Her face screening is beautiful and fierce. I’m already very partial to her hairstyle and color, and it works so well on her. I love how she almost has a spooky haunted vibe, her eyes just glow from the shadows of her hair. She could be Lydia Deetz from Beetlejuice or Anita Pallenburg’s “Great Tyrant” from Barbarella.
The dress is fantastic! It is very sculptural. It has such great shape, and likes to hold it’s shape, so you can really pose the dress around the doll. Beautiful and high quality and I’m very impressed.
I only spent one hour adjusting the laces on her fantastic boots before I called it “good enough.” So you may see shoelaces dangling.
I wanted to challenge the perception of reality and truth in photography, creating an image which from a distance due to the considered use of depth of field, can be mistaken as being a fashion portrait rather than being of a doll.
My images are fine art narratives using toys in human situations. Cultural references such as idioms, and societal references to Generation Y's obsession with self-image/narcissism, portray, convey, and question life and its challenges to the human condition. The images highlight my ability of using scale to mislead the observer, with the toys ranging from 1/4 size to 1/76 size.

The Perceptions series are manually edited photos. For this particular piece I layered paint on the photographic print, burned a hole through the print, singed nylon tights (for the stretched skin look), and placed a section of a very old American flag (found in an abandoned building) beneath the surface.
«Mentre lavoravo al mio albero genealogico, ho capito la strana comunità di destino che mi collega ai miei avi. Ho fortemente il sentimento di essere sotto l’influenza di cose o di problemi che furono lasciati incompiuti o senza risposta dai miei genitori, dai miei nonni e dai miei antenati. Mi sembra che spesso ci sia in una famiglia un karma impersonale che si trasmette dai genitori ai figli. Ho sempre pensato che anche io dovevo rispondere a delle domande che il destino aveva già posto ai miei antenati e alle quali non si era riuscito a trovare nessuna risposta, o anche che dovevo risolvere o semplicemente continuare ad occuparmi di problemi che le epoche anteriori lasciarono in sospeso. La psicoterapia non ha ancora tenuto abbastanza conto di questa circostanza.»
Ricordi, Sogni, Riflessioni – C. G. Jung-
"When I worked in my family tree, I understood the strange communion of the destiny that unites me to my ancestors. I had the strong feeling that it was under the influence of events and problems that were incomplete and unresolved by my parents, my grandparents, and my other ancestors. I had the impression that there is often in the family an impersonal Karma transmitted from parents to children. I always knew that I had to answer questions already asked by my ancestors or I had to conclude, or continue on the previously unresolved issues". ~Carl Jung [At the Dawn of the 21st Century what do we do for our Dead?]

Challenge me.
The 4th installment of the Perceptions series. This is a "manually edited" photograph that uses paint and a 3 dimensional element to create the desired effect. The images are meant to challenge what is initially perceived.
While working on this image I began to feel a little rebelious and decided to take it in a very different direction from where it started. In the original photo my model had volumous teased out hair with flowers in it. By removing the feature that tend to define so many woman she adopts a sort of warrior look. The result is far different from where I started but in the end I think it is stronger.
London Heathrow Airport --> Quick stop in England before I head to Greece...you in for the adventure?
It's been a year since my Greek vacation! Probably going to repost some of my faves from my trip to reminisce : ) I found this one in the archives and apparently never got around to posting it.
Vetical sailing on my weathered outside wall.
I made lots of these little pistachio yachts last year and then didn't know what to (photographically) do with them. Ideas welcome below.
The painting is Fragonard's most famous works, and one of the most emblematic images of eighteenth-century art. Its genesis is reported by the writer Charles Collé. According to his journals and memoirs for 1767, the history painter Gabriel-François Doyen was commissioned by an unnamed ‘gentleman of the Court’ late in 1767 to paint his young mistress on a swing, pushed by a bishop with himself admiring her legs from below.
Doyen, who had just had a major success at the Salon as a religious history poainter refused and suggested Fragonard. Fragonard was at that time about to completely change his career from a history painter with important royal commissions to a painter of small and highly sophisticated cabinet pictures. This was at least in part a reaction to his problems with payments from the royal arts administration. The commission might have in part triggered that change or might simply have come at the right moment.The painting marks the re-launch of Fragonard's career with paintings for a small, well-informed circle. Those could either be highly erotic works, like P430, or works that required an advanced knowledge of art history and old master painting. Fragonard's move was highly successful.
Compared with the original brief, in the finished painting, the older man is no longer a priest, a barking dog has been added, and Falconet's sculpture of 'L'amour menaçant (Menacing Love)' comments on the story. Fragonard answers the libertine bintentions of his patron by picking a rococo style. Fragonard was often employing different styles or languages at the same time, and he seems to have seen a Rococo idiom as particularly apt for an erotic scene. This move has fundamentally shaped perceptions of Rococo art. With Fragonard's famous work, the style changed its associations. Fragonard combines a backward-looking Rococo element with a pre-Romantic rendering of a forceful and uncontrollable, often obscene nature.
The name of the work derives from an engraving by Nicolas de Launay after the painting that was published in 1782. It has been used as a template for countless caricatures and is increasingly popular with contemporary artists and designers.
This photo is a picture of Angels making there judgement over anyone and everyone. I got this idea on the way home today as the sky looked like the clouds where opening light to heaven so I decided to get my camera out and snap the sky. And then jumped onto photoshop and let my imagination run wild.
Same day, same flowers just a different focus. Thankful for the joy of a beautiful spring day, of seeing the light of the sun on the flowers and the green grass, to see the ripples from the wind on the water and to feel the warmth. Thankful for this gift of a camera that we can capture these moments and share with our friends.
C’est une exposition thématique, qui est le prolongement d’un livre publié en 2019, on peut y retrouver les plus belles pages du livre agrandies, entourées d’une centaine d’originaux de dessins (ce qui est très rare) et qui retrace l’évolution de la perception de Pierre Kroll sur l’environnement, le réchauffement climatique, la terre au sens large.
Caricaturiste incontournable en Belgique, Kroll est né en 1958 au Congo. Architecte et licencié en Sciences de l’environnement tout d’abord, il devient, dès 1985, dessinateur indépendant.
Depuis, on trouve ses dessins dans d’innombrables périodiques et publications, Pierre Kroll est le dessinateur attitré du quotidien belge Le Soir et de l’hebdomadaire Ciné-Télé-Revue. Il dessine en direct en télévision tous les dimanches sur la RTBF. Depuis 2015, il raconte son métier dans un spectacle d’humour qui remplit les plus grandes salles du pays. Il a reçu de nombreux prix et publie, chaque année, un recueil de ses meilleurs dessins.

Les glaciers qui fondent, le niveau des océans qui monte, la pollution omniprésente, la disparition massive de la biodiversité sont autant de signes qui ne trompent pas : il est vraiment urgent d’agir... et d’en rire ! Soit l’humour nous permet de prendre conscience à temps du problème et nous encourage à changer les choses. Soit, foutu pour foutu, autant prendre notre extinction prochaine avec bonne humeur.
En 2019, Pierre Kroll a publié Des signes qui ne trompent pas aux éditions Les Arènes, une compilations de dessins sur l’écologie et l’environnement : ce qui inquiète, ce qui est en cause et ce qui doit changer… Certains ont 30 ans (comme quoi tout cela n’est pas nouveau), certains sont très récents.
It is a thematic exhibition, which is the extension of a book published in 2019, you can find there the most beautiful pages of the book enlarged, surrounded by a hundred original drawings (which is very rare) and which traces the evolution of Pierre Kroll's perception of the environment, global warming, the earth in the broad sense.
An essential caricaturist in Belgium, Kroll was born in 1958 in the Congo. First an architect and a graduate in Environmental Sciences, he became, in 1985, an independent draftsman.
Since then, we find his drawings in countless periodicals and publications, Pierre Kroll is the official cartoonist of the Belgian daily Le Soir and the weekly Ciné-Télé-Revue. He draws live on television every Sunday on RTBF. Since 2015, he has been telling his story in a comedy show that fills the biggest halls in the country. He has received numerous awards and publishes a collection of his best drawings every year.

Melting glaciers, rising ocean levels, omnipresent pollution, the massive disappearance of biodiversity are all unmistakable signs: it is really urgent to act... and to laugh about it! Either humor allows us to become aware of the problem in time and encourages us to change things. Either, screwed up for screwed up, might as well take our next extinction with good humor.
In 2019, Pierre Kroll published Signs that do not deceive with Les Arènes editions, a compilation of drawings on ecology and the environment: what worries, what is in question and what must change... Some are 30 years old (like what all this is not new), some are very recent.
Here's the latest entry into the perceptions series! As a reminder, this is a series of manually edited photographs. Each photo is printed then edited with paint and a "3D" element. In this case I used a leaf that I found when I was a junior in high school. I knew I was going to use it for something someday and now all these years later I finally received a purpose!!!
