Washington Street with view of the Manhattan Bridge. DUMBO, Brooklyn.
New York City, September 2013.
As some of you already know by now, I’m a big fan of creating cinematic impressions. For 3 weeks I’ve been working on this image.
It all starts with an idea. Pre-visualize the final image.
My goal this time was to recreate the cinematic atmosphere from the movie “I am Legend”. Meaning: a deserted street, overgrown with weeds, deprived from human life for a long time.
For the process, as always, I began with the original black & white version (visible on my Flickr page, see below). I took this one, the famous Washington Street in Brooklyn, in 2013 on an early Sunday morning with no cars parked in the street.
It took me some time to find out what could possibly work and what not. First of all: the colors. And then came the most difficult part of the undertaking: vegetation, weeds, trees etc.
Due to the fact that I wanted the rest of the image to have the same appearance, I digitally ‘destroyed’ several items in this image (find out yourself).
Thanks to Photoshop there are no limitations on creativity ;-)
Hope you like it too!

"Eternity and a Day"
In memory of Theodoros (Theo) Angelopoulos,
the Epic poet -painter of the Cinema & his unfinished quest,not by choice but by destiny ...
His death,on 24 January 2012, in a tragic road accident during the filming of his latest work, "The Other Sea ", was somewhat symbolic ...
He was a film director with magisterial style ...
His Cinema was like a vast canvas unfolding narratives and expressing the deepest feelings surrounding life.
1995 : "Ulysses’ Gaze". Grand Jury Prize at Cannes
1998 : "Eternity and a Day". Palm d’Or and Prix Ecumenique at Cannes.1998
Critics wrote that no film deserved the Golden Palm & the Ecumenical Prize, more than Theo Angelopoulos' "Eternity and a Day".
A Tribute to the memory of the internationally-acclaimed Greek director,one of the top 10 filmmakers of the 20th centurry,who worked for Perpetual Democracy & Peace worldwide.

Williamsburg Bridge between Manhattan's Lower East Side and Brooklyn's Williamsburg district.
New York City, September 2018.
I posted this image a long time ago in b&w. Due to the gloomy weather, this original version gives the scene a totally different vibe.

Former Karol Scheibler Palace - a neo-renaissance palace built for Karol Scheibler, located in Łódź next to the 19th century huge Scheibler factory complex (the so-called headquarters) and the Księży Młyn workers' housing estate.
The palace was built in 1856 according to the design of Jan Karol Mertsching. The first reconstruction took place in 1865. The current, neo-Renaissance shape was obtained in the years 1884–1887 after the reconstruction, which was carried out by the Warsaw architect Edward August Lilpop at the request of Karol's widow - Anna Scheibler.
Currently, there is the only one in Poland Museum of Cinematography.
Nearby is also the State Higher School of Film, Television and Theater. - alma mater: Zbigniew Rybczyński (Oscar 1982), Roman Polański (Oscar 2002 and Golden Palm 2002 in Cannes), Krzysztof Zanussi (Golden Lion in Venice and Golden Lions), Krzysztof Kieślowski (European Film Award 1988 and Golden Lion) , Juliusz Machulski (Golden Lions), Andrzej Wajda (Oscar 2000 and Golden Palm 1981).

Still from a charity music video I shot for American Dance Machine For the 21st Century in memory of actor Nick Cordero.
It's freezing cold out there. I'm with my Arctic Aircat, heading for the Rebel Base, but had to stop and take one more photo from this scenery, I was about miss. After I put the engine of Aircat off, it became so quiet. Cold started to pinch my cheek bones and I'd just had to leave this moment behind. All I have is my memories and this photo.
- "I was like… whaat?"
- "Seriously, I don’t know what were he thinking."
- "Yeah. That’s what I’m saying. He is like all over the place with his Forcely-thing-a-ling."
- "Have you ever felt his presence?"
- "Ugh, no. I don’t have that kind of superpowers."
- "I have, kinda. I heard him breathing while he was eating the other day. It was like that kiishh kaashh kiisshh kaashh all over the place. I mean, I’ve got chills all over my body!"
- "What is that breathing thingy anyway? Is he like a fish or something…?"
- "I don’t know. I guess it makes him more powerful. I think it is just made for scare people off."
- "...And that sound probaply comes from the audio track."
- "Yeah, I agree. It’s gotta be audio track on a iPod Shuffle or something similar."
- "LOL!, Ipod shuffl... how about Walkman?"
- "Sony Walkman? Yeah. He is like living in the past anyway"
- "Anyway, whadda ya gonna do with that plunger?"
...to be continued.
Back on the Death Star. I caught these two fellas talking dirty about their boss.
I realized the other day that I haven't been photographing basic Stormtroopers at all. I mean, I have done a portrait or two but that's about it. They are widely photographed here on Flickr and on other social platforms as well and I guess that's why, I've been trying to avoid to pick them up on front of the lens. I think it's about time to do something with these fellas. They are kinda cute, sad and irresistible at the same time.

Found this lovely alley from Osaka back in 2014. Went back to see it a year later and the whole block was bulldozed to the ground.

Joyce laughed about as loud as I’d ever seen her last night. We were watching a favorite program, Resident Alien, about a space alien, assigned to annihilate mankind, crash-lands on a glacier near an idyllic town, and assumes the identity of a medical doctor named Harry Vanderspeigle. Sounds hilarious, right? Well, trust me, it is. It reminds of ‘Northern Exposure’, though with a science fiction twist. With great acting and cinematography, it’s a comedy of moral dilemma that is funny, sweet, dramatic, and just a bit horrifying, all in one episode. In last night’s episode, Harry runs a scenario through his mind considering the plus or minus effects of physically fighting an adversary. The consequence is that during the fight he slams his opponent against his refrigerator. The next scene is with a refrigerator repairman who yaks on and on about his passion as a landscape photographer… and he lives with his momma. Harry decides the fight isn’t worth the outcome. I reckon you had to be there. Joyce, however, found that quite amusing and roared laughing. Just to let you know, I don’t resemble that character in any way whatsoever.
One of the scenes of that episode was shot against the sun, with a beautiful lens flare. That happens when bright subjects bounce off all the elements of a lens. It just so happens that I was working on this image, and it struck me just how beautiful it is. The East Fork Overlook at Milepost 418.3 on the Blue Ridge Parkway gave a nice view with the long lens as the sun rose through a cloud layer over the mountains.
Yesterday, cellphone carriers throughout the United States inexplicably shut down. Reasons of various sorts were tossed around, most likely of which was a solar flare. Per typical, major media couldn’t get their story straight. Today, it was explained as programming errors… but for most every major carrier? Not very likely. It was probably more nefarious than that. I think I’ll take Harry Vanderspeigle’s approach, and just stick with the solar flare.
If you’re perhaps curious, Resident Alien is now on Netflix.
As Han run away from the carbon freezing chamber, all of a sudden, he heard steps coming towards him. He had to stop and hid himself behind the corner, before he can continue his escape. He is a bit afraid of the situ as there is no good plan for the escape itself, but that's how the greatest smuggler deals these situations!
Another cinematic session with Han Solo. You might remember an earlier scene I did with him from a few weeks ago. Running and firing a blaster like that is very dangerous.
A fantastic weekend away enjoying the great British summer in Clacton-on-Sea in Essex. Beautiful sandy beaches combined with a classic wooden pier make this a popular destination for day trippers and holiday makers alike.
