Strobist: One SB910 left behind subject, aiming on chest for muscles, one SB910 with silver umbrella (mounted reflecting the light) to fill up the gaps in the daylight. Used a Honeywell Industrial Ventilator as a windmachine, connected to a camping generator.
Tried to create some imagery with ancient greek iconography, but incorporated in contemporary switzerland (yes, that's how it looks everywhere here.)

"Make a picture that is funny and sad at the same time. A photograph that simultaneously evokes pathos, irony and humour." - Jeff Mermelstein
Although my B-side is somewhat funnier and certainly lighter, I am submitting this one as a response to Instruction #46. I thought it was funny when I took it, but the more I look at it the more I think it is a sad demonstration of what the world of some people has come to.

You have to hand it to the Chinese ... they know how to built ridiculously cool structures. This is the National Center for the Performing Arts (a.k.a. The Egg) situated in Beijing, near Tienanmen Square. I can just imagine how the planning meeting must have gone:
Chinese Official: We would like for you to design for us a hyper-modern structure of considerable proportions and extreme opulence.
Architect: How about a 12,000 square meter space egg surrounded by water?
Chinese Official: Will it be smooth, shiny and visible from space?
Architect: Yes, I think we can manage that.
Chinese Official: Deal!
I only got to walk around the perimeter, but The Egg is truly impressive not only in sheer size, but the amazing architecture and details. I can only imagine how beautiful it must be inside.

I just got back from an eight day trip through Tibet and it was awesome! I am still waiting for the dust to settle before collecting my thoughts, but it is clear that there are no easy answers. I planned out the trip with the help of a local guide and when I arrived I was essentially escorted through the country at all times. There are strict rules to follow and a lot of paper work to fill out, but for anyone interested in visiting the Land of Snows, I highly recommend it.
This photo was taken on my way down from Lhasa to Everest Base Camp. This is just one of the many amazing natural beauties you will find sprinkled throughout the Tibetan Plateau. Although it looks more like a river, this is actually a lake. Yamdrok Yumtso is one of the three largest sacred lakes of Tibet and is said to me the transformation of a goddess into physical form. The lake water is an amazing emerald color (which unfortunately was hidden by the cloud cover in this photo.) This lake runs for many many miles and there are a lot of great vantage points, but I found this great place with the help of my guide.
High up on a ridge we saw a cluster of prayer flags flapping furiously in the wind. Prayer Flags are supposed to be hung in clean, high up places where there is a lot of wind so that each time the wind flaps the flag, the owner will receive the merit of the mantra written on it. It is a beautiful custom and these flags can be found all over Tibet. Some mountains are so densely covered with them that from a distance, they look like spider webs. It was a great experience to be able to travel across such a rich landscape.

There is a series of cave systems that run under the huge mountains of Guilin in southern China. Reed Flute Cave is one of the more famous ones so I made a slight detour to go check it out. Like most places in China, there were a good number of tourists around so I quietly waited for them to pass so that I could have the place to myself and take pictures. The problem was that they would turn off the lights as soon as the tourists passed by so I was often left in the middle of a huge underground chamber with nothing but my cat eyes to guide me to safety. It was a little bit eerie, but all together awesome! I would point my camera at the ceiling and leave the shutter open for minutes at a time to collect all the faint light reflecting off some distant stalactite.
I finally made my way to the largest chamber where a mini lake made a perfect reflection of the alien-looking rock formation on the other end. As I was waiting for my camera to gather all the light, my mind started to wonder what was lying deep in this ancient underground lake. As I kept staring at the dark water, listening to the single drops of water sliding off the stalactites and delicately swan-diving into the lake, I started to feel a hypnotic pull to walk into the lake. Lucky for me I was traveling with my guide, Bart, who tripped over something, made a loud noise and brought me back to the present moment … and that is why you hire a guide, ladies and gentlemen. They can keep you from taking a dip in scary underground lakes.

L'arte è visione o intuizione. L'artista produce un'immagine o fantasma: e colui che gusta l'arte volge l'occhio al punto che l'artista gli ha additato, guarda per lo spiraglio che colui gli ha aperto e riproduce in sé quell'immagine.
Benedetto Croce
Art is vision or insight. The artist produces an image or ghost and who enjoy art draws the eye to the point that the artist has set, look for the crack that he has opened the image and reproduces itself

There is something regal about Stanford's campus. Every time I visit, I feel like a country bumpkin who managed to sneak into the palace by hiding in the hay cart. I keep waiting for the palace guards to decent upon me and throw me in the dungeon. Well, until that day comes, I am happy to roam around and take pictures of this beautiful campus.
Series : Last Orders
From a site of two derelict buildings in the dOKUMENTA city of Kassel that over 40 years ago housed BIER GROSSHANDLUNG NEUENHAGEN, a wholesale German beer distribution company.
A dear flickr contact who runs a construction company in the process of clearing out and renovating this site generously provided me access to photograph on August 16, 2012.
"Last Orders" is what pub owners call out to their customers, a few minutes before closing time.
Arriving in Pathos in Spring the sites and open places are ablaze with colour.

I just got back from a weekend at Yosemite National Park. A couple of friends and I were standing in the freezing cold in the middle of a pitch dark meadow for an hour trying to figure out how to take night pictures of Upper Yosemite Falls. This is my first attempt at this but I really like it!
I'm trying to make a better cow picture than my dad, who created a real cult one that stood the test of time. But for him it was a job, for me it's a stupid side project I do with no real stakes. I'll never top the old man.

My hometown Kellinghusen is full of reminiscences to the military abyss. Transfiguration for us.

It's like being handed a 'late life' gift, when all the other natural life enhancers start to fade, including the ability to see and understand, and even the desire to find the words to communicate.
But here we are.
I love the overlay of neglect life threw at the image, the dirt, the scratches, the breaks, the suggestion of colour, yes this is a colour photograph, hugely enlarged, of a neglected black and white memory.
The neglect, that abuse itself, is beautiful, full of pathos and reverie, dark poetry even.
I love that we haphazardly survive what life throws at us, and somehow find the resilience to continue and even attempt to communicate hope.
A.I. couldn't do this. It wouldn't have the nonce to describe the creative flowering that can possibly coexist as a by-product of abuse. It attempts to idealise. I see it as partially our job to teach it to care.
We are all 'Mary Shelleys' now. How did Mary Shelley survive knowing that her after-birth killed her blindingly brilliant mother?
She showed us a re-animated monster, and asked us to love it.
I couldn't resist the pathos of this image taken through the broken window of an abandoned home in New Brunswick last August.

I know everyone comes away with the same shot of Yosemite Valley, but I had to try my hand at it. I made all my friends wake up at 4:30 and drive over to the vista point to ensure we would get a good spot. The problem was that it was the first day of daylight savings when the hour changes and the sun rise was an hour later than we all expected so we ended up standing in the dark cold for almost three hours waiting for the sun to rise. By the time it was coming up, all the guys were frozen and fed up with all the waiting, so I took a few quick last minute shots before a full mutiny ensued. I am glad I persisted =)
In his later version of the Theseus myth, Canova shows a scene of turbulent struggle. Theseus raises his club in his right hand ready to strike, while already kneeling on the chest of the centaur, who is arched backwards and lying on the ground. The dominant shape of the design is a large triangle formed ofTheseus's right foot, the centaur's left hand propping himself up, and the helmet as the apex.
Although Canova's group resembles the Laocoön group of Antiquity in its expression of pathos and in the presentation of strain in a duel, the rhetorical and scholarly elements dominate in Canova's style, and it was on these that academic tradition would later be based.
