OVO
Boulevard of Light - Amsterdam Light Festival
Artists: ACT lighting design: Koert Vermeulen (lighting design), Marco Viñals Bassols (set design)
Odeaubois: Pol Marchandise & Mostafa Hadi (construction)
Location: pontoon in the Amstel in front of the Hermitage
OVO is a seven meter high construction shaped like an egg. Through the interplay of light (in 22 minutes, 724 dfferent light positions are demonstrated), sound and water (reflections in the water and fog that dances in the wind), it all feels like a supernatural experience. The spectator becomes part of the artwork, when he enters the gracious, majestic structure, OVO symbolizes birth, transformation and perfection.

OVO is een zeven meter hoge constructie in de vorm van een ei. Door het spel van licht (in 22 minuten komen er 724 verschillende lichtstanden voorbij), geluid en water (reflecties in het water en mist die danst in de wind) lijkt het een bovennatuurlijke ervaring. De toeschouwer wordt deel van het kunstwerk wanneer hij de gracieuze, prachtige structuur binnen gaat. OVO symboliseert geboorte, transformatie en perfectie.
One of the surprise highlights of July's PDX Nightowls photo walk was when we were invited to come in and photograph the sculptures at DODECAH . Special thanks to the fine folks at DODECAH who were extremely generous with their time and willingness to spin their sculptures. i4s5922,27,23 - Happy Sliders Sunday!
Looking straight up inside New Street Square, London.
Taken whilst waiting for m+b to finish work. Slightly self-conscious using the XA2's timer function (with it's loud BEEEEEEEEP) in such a financial area, but other than a few odd looks, didn't get any security hassles)
Olympus XA2 + self timer + Lomography 200ASA slide film + xpro
Pentax MX + Cosina 20mm f3.8 + redscaled Fuji Superia 400 + rated at 32.
From a photo walk with m+b.
I decided to model a sweatshirt I received as a Christmas present, mainly because I think it's a neat sweatshirt. Well, we had gone through a few rolls of film when I decided it was time for a smoke and coffee break. Little did I know that the bastard photographer would take a pot-shot of me while I was chillin'. Those photographers think they're so damn funny when they do crap like that.

Het stenen stationsgebouw (ontvangstgebouw) van Station Antwerpen werd gebouwd tussen 1899 en 1905 door Louis Delacenserie (bijgestaan door Charles Poupaert) in eclectische stijl (een combinatie van stijlelementen uit vroegere perioden). Delacenserie liet zich inspireren door het stationsgebouw van Luzern en het Pantheon in Rome. Het hoogste punt van het station (75 meter) is een grote koepel. (Bron: Wikipedia)
The stone station building (reception building) of Station Antwerp was built between 1899 and 1905 by Louis Delacenserie (assisted by Charles Pam) in eclectic style (a combination of style elements from earlier periods). Delacenserie was inspired by the station building of Luzern and the Pantheon in Rome. The highest point of the drive (75 metres) is a large dome. (source: Wikipedia)

This is my shirt, it's pretty sweeet.
I'm really proud of this picture ;o)
I was tagged.
If you read this, you're awesome.
1a. I like to know and completely understand everything. Like, literally everything. I always ask questions and I enjoy learning new things. I tend to ask everyone "why" and alot of people don't like it, but I just want to understand why. I like knowing what goes on in people's heads, and random little things, and everything. I will honestly get upset if I don't understand something. Also, I tend to over-explain myself. I assume that everyone likes to understand as much as I do, and I'll discuss my opinions or thoughts on something forever.
1b. I know a lot of people say this, but I truly mean it when I say I over-analyze everything. People always tell me to relax and stop over-thinking every little detail of everything said, or done, or every movie, or just literally everything in life. I guess that connects to wanting to know everything, but also to my OCD.
2. I'm probably one of the least judgemental people you'll ever meet. I hear the things people have to say about others and I just don't understand the point of it. Like, there's no reason that you need to open your mouth about other people. Seriously, I may not like everyone, but what they do still isn't my problem. Everybody is their own person and if they want to say or do something a certain way then, let them. It's their life not yours. On the other hand, I'm a critic, but not towards people. I'm always criticizing movies, the ways of the world, etc.
3. Listening to happy music makes me think I'm happy. In that moment, I feel carefree and like I actually want to have fun and just live, but when the music disappears, so do those feelings. It's sad. I wish I could feel like that all the time.
4. On the subject of music, I love listening to old songs. They always remind me of certain time periods in my life and it's interesting to let the songs bring me back there. I always connect songs to people and things.
5. I've had OCD all my life, and it's hell. It controls so many aspects of my life. From the way I think, to my room, to how I sleep, to everything else. I take medication for it now, but it will never really go away. My baby brother has OCD and I feel so bad for him, I don't want to see him struggle through it like I did.
6. I'm straightup about everything. I'll tell you what I honestly think, and I say whatever I feel like saying. I'm not shy at all and tend to say these things to almost anyone. Sometimes I offend people when I don't mean to, but that's just how I am. It's nothing personal.
7. My two bestfriends show the two sides of me. Me and Saige clicked from the very beginning because we can always relate, to this day. She is the deep, intellectual, analytical, calm side of me. We can have conversations for hours about anything, and it usually ends up being very philosophical. Aleaya is the hyper, loud, crazy, fun side of me. I've known her forever and she's like my sister. They're the perfect balance for me.
8. It is HARD to become my friend. I'm not a very friendly person, and I don't like people easily at all. But, if you are my friend, that means I truly do like you as a person and I doubt you'll ever lose me. I'm a misanthrope, which means someone with " generalized dislike, distrust, disgust, contempt or hatred of the human species, human nature, or society." Gino taught me that word.
9. When I'm around my friends that I do like, I act a bit out of control sometimes. I get very hyper and do weird, crazy things. I'm alot calmer than I used to be though. I used to literally just go crazy all the time. I've lost a lot of myself.
10. I am so interested in what other people think of me. Not because I care, but because it intrigues me to find out what I seem like through other people's eyes.
11. I love psychology and the way the brain works. I've always studied things on psychology like mental illnesses and such. I love learning about the human mind and the power it has to change someone's life completely. I love analyzing the way people think and how their brain works. I don't want to be a therapist, because I don't want to fix people's problems. I want to go into some type of field that deals with studying the different aspects of the mind. Haven't quite figured that out yet.
12. I LOVE to sleep, more than most people. I literally will choose sleeping over almost anything. I just enjoy it so much, it makes me feel great. And besides, it gets me out of stupid reality.
13. I never make it to school or do my homework. I always end up just sleeping in and not feeling like going. And I can never bring myself to do my homework. They're horrible habits that I've had for years and I hate myself for them. I'm really smart and usually pass anyways, but it's hard in classes that homework counts for alot in. I need to get my shit together :/
14. So often I think "what's the point". Because seriously, what is the point of anything? All we are is little ants in this world. We go to parties, get jobs, do this, that, whatever, all for what? Nothing. We all live just to die. Life is meaningless in my eyes.
The Arab Room, Cardiff Castle, Wales. The architect copied much of this design from the Alhambra in Spain.
This photograph was taken in the same location where you would find the Founders Tree, off of Hwy 101. The Avenue of the Giants exit in the California Redwood National Forest.
Huge redwood trees are found all through this very nice scenic drive.
Trompe-l'œil (French: "trick the eye", IPA: [tʁɔ̃p lœj]) is an art technique involving extremely realistic imagery in order to create the optical illusion that the depicted objects really exist, instead of actually being a two-dimensional painting. -Wikipedia
august 15, 1891, san sebastian church was inaugurated and blessed. the ceiling of the church was painted by filipino artist lorenzo rocha and his students using the trompe l'oeil method.
the church of san sebastian is now a unesco world heritage site and is an outstanding example of late 19th century innovations in architecture, art and construction.
this is #7 in the san sebastian church series.

A view of some of the trees at Mount Stewart gardens, in Northern Ireland, that I think,really shows off their grandeur.
One of the surprise highlights of July's PDX Nightowls photo walk was when we were invited to come in and photograph the sculptures at DODECAH . In the upper left is a photo of one of their beautiful large sculptures hanging from the ceiling, to the right is a ScanCamera moving slit view of the same while it spinned very slowly, across the bottom is the ScanCamera fixed slit view of the same showing slightly more than one full spin of the sculpture. Special thanks to the fine folks at DODECAH who were extremely generous with their time and willingness to spin their beautiful sculptures. i4s5922,27,41
View Large On Black The top of the Healing Circle Arbor, Rondout landing, Kingston, NY. (Looking straight up from inside the dome toward the sky.) You can see more detail in the stained "glass" or plexiglass or whatever it is, in the large size.
Adopting the street style of photography that i-D magazine has cultivated over the years, I organised a photo shoot, inviting anyone to stand in front of a brick wall and let me take their photo!
I know I have told all of you this before, but I love clouds. If I could be anything for a day, being a cloud would definitely have to be considered. Not only do they have such a great view, but they also have such an great relationship with light.
On a related note, the other thing I like about trying to shoot cloudscapes is that they really require a slightly different approach over landscapes. Many of the traditional rules of composition cannot be applied, or at the least are more difficult to apply. It is also harder to communicate depth, you have no foreground to work with per se, so you have to use color and light. It is also quite popular to include some anchoring element with cloudscape images such as a strip of earth, a tree-lined horizon, etc. This can certainly help quite a bit, but I also like trying to find compositions that do not have an anchor to them. Interesting how much things can change when you point your camera straight up.
Near where the loop merges back into the real tunnels, random wanker #1 represents the IceB hard. Look at that lil sperm ninja hood you can tell he's amping up to straightup parkour something. Bellend.
This photo is part of the set The One, Paris.
How hard is it to take the photo when the bird is literally 30 feet straight up, well not super easy....but IMO worth it.
Look Straight Up And Shoot
I could see my breath this morning! I ventured outside into the 20 degree weather. It's very cold today and feels like winter. I leaned right up against this venerable old soul and snapped its photo then I ran back in the house.
This stands in a courtyard in front of a high rise office building. Only stands three feet off the ground and even though it is surrounded by some benches, I think it is a fountain head. I have never seen it spraying water, however. I like the blue sky and all I had to do was set the camera on self timer and set it down under the fountain.
