today is my happy day.
i've received the coolest 101010 project postcard
from one of my long-term flickr friends, shotam :) ありがとうです！
A CD cover I made for an imaginary compilation album used for the Tomorrowland Transit Authority ride in the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World.
The HUGS project is a non profit organization that sends care packages to service men and women overseas. Their mission is "to give a HUG to every American serving in the Middle East."
Their most pressing need is Marines and National Guard members who have been sent to Afghanistan (where the worst of the fighting is taking place). They are stationed deep in enemy territory where we haven't been before. The only water and supplies they have is what they can carry in on their backs. When they finally get a break and can receive mail from home, we want them to find care packages overflowing with snacks, hygiene items, DVD's and CD's, Oreos, SOCKS!! and other needed items. But, most of all, we want them to experience the love we'll be tucking inside along with cooling ties and other items. We'll be sending out extra boxes to the Marines in Afghanistan this week in addition to the 50-100 packages we normally send. That's $400-$900 in postage and that's to send out EMPTY boxes, it also takes MORE money to fill them so....we need YOUR help. If you can help us with ANY amount, it will be very much appreciated. Thank you for having a HUGe heart for some of America's finest young men and women.
this may seem a bit anti-climatic to most of you. (in fact, i'm pretty sure no one even follows my flickr anymore. i know i don't even follow my own). but, when i started this project back in 2007, i knew it would be a challenge, and that i would eventually finish it. i've seen hundreds of people start and quit, and start and finish this project YEARS before i did. really. 100 strangers made me nervous, shy, apprehensive...all of it. i looked forward to completing it and meeting each person, but each and every time i shot a stranger, the nerves came back. i'd say i really enjoyed about 99% of the people, (i hope you can all guess the ONE that was not a good one!!) which says a lot about people. so, if anyone is out there anymore, THIS is my 100th stranger!! yes, i shot this way back in july--you know--i'm a slacker. just getting around to uploading now.
i learned about myself too. of course, the nerves, etc. were a huge factor here. but something else occurred. i learned that photographers are not only people with big fancy cameras and lenses and know about f-stops and apertures. well, maybe they are. and if so, maybe i'm not a photographer. because i don't care about any of that, and i was able to successfully capture images of 100 strangers, and furthermore, to get their short story across...most of the time anyway. and i usually did it with a point and shoot. i think that art, photography, whatever--is totally subjective, and that there are a million ways to get an image across. film, digital, iPhone, whatever. one doesn't make you better. it just makes you YOU. you know?
so doing this project somehow made it ok to be like that. i often told complete strangers that i was doing a "photography project" and had to show confidence in my craft---even when using a beat up lil camera. that was HARD! i had to convince them of my project, and therefore muster up confidence in myself. overall-i think i did ok w/ it. a wise friend once said: "its not the wand, it's the wizard", and perhaps that's true.
i also started LOOKING at people differently as a result of this project. where are they going? what is their story? why are they so happy/sad?..... i've always been intrigued by people, and this really opened my awareness. i learned how to approach them and not be intimidating. i felt it was important not to always choose the "expected"...very bizarre looking person....but sometimes, the everyday person was "my perfect stranger". i became aware of the idea of exploitation, and didn't shoot pics of the interesting homeless characters just because they "looked cool."
will i ever do this project again? hell no. but i have another one up my sleeve. if i ever get back on flickr regularly, that is.

stranger #100: Angel. I do not know a lot about this amazing person. What I do know, I adore. Angel was part of the crew for the Monserrat, which was our boat in the Galapagos Islands. He welcomed us when we got off the bus in this "panga"/dingy boat and took us to the main boat. His smile greeted us every day we were there, and he happily shuttled us from island to island. He watched over us as we snorkeled...scanning the water for sharks (although that was never said). There were a few somewhat scary incidents in which the engine on our "panga" died (flooded?) and we were left to float...out there...alone...in the waves....600 miles in the middle of the ocean...yah. Angel remained calm and tried over and over again to pull start the engine--never showing any fear. I know that he is Ecuadorian, and that he speaks very little english, and that he is an incredible asset to this team. Thank you for letting me shoot you for my 100th stranger, Angel. You truly are. :)

I can't decide on this week's Project 52 entry! The theme is "negative space", hence the unusual crops (done in camera).
I'm going to have a little sit and look at them for a few days to decide, unless anyone has any strong feelings???

I don't do New Years Resolutions in general. So, for this week's photo, I thought about something big that would happen in our family in 2012. Something like... potty training our almost 3-year-old.
6 / 50 : Not meant to be seen.
Saturday.
Woke up early late.
Been busy all day long assisting a friend on a portfolio photoshoot.
Got home just to find out that it was "Open Museums" night here in Rome: just for tonight, a bunch of museums would have been open till 1am and completely free.
Now, seriously, can you miss something like that?
So I met up with some friends, and a pizza after (that's pretty much a measure of time here in Italy) we were out on the town.
First (and only) stop : the Macro.
There was a great photo exhibition themed around the word "work", and some of the work shown was incredibly good!
But the thing that caught my attention the most was a small booth, just outside the main hall, were a very particular idea found its space to be shown: I'm talking about the "Lost & Found Project - Family Photos Swept by 3.11 East Japan Tsunami) [Munemasa Takahashi - Kazuto Hoshi - Annalisa D'Angelo - Stefano Ruffa]
The project it's centered around showing the photos that were first swept by the tsunami in Japan last year and that were after found again while cleaning the remains of the buildings.
Photos that were MADE "not meant to be seen" anymore by the tsunami but that this idea brought back to light.
Photography-wise, I think it's the closest thing to the Resurrection of a Photo.
And I loved it.
And I immediately thought of this image.
Well, let's be honest, not exactly of this one, but my friends helped me define the concept and the beautiful Ludovica (whom I just met tonight for the first time) kindly accepted to pose.
So i prepared everything outside, checked the lights, and then went into the booth with her (along with tons other people that were there to actually see the photos and not this italian idiot trying to make one :D ) and shot this. In literally 10 seconds since I was sure they would have kicked us out in no time for that.
Holding the camera in one hand and the Softbox in the other.
It worked out ! :)

Pour sa sixième session, le LASCO PROJECT invite 6 artistes français et internationaux à défricher de nouveaux espaces du Palais de Tokyo : Philippe Baudelocque, Stelios Faitakis, JR et les OSGEMEOS, Olivier Kosta-Théfaine.
Philippe Baudelocque, - + / = +
Au Palais de Tokyo, Philippe Baudelocque entend « composer l’espace au jour le jour, comme un blog, sur plusieurs mois. » Son intervention défriche un escalier monumental - entre une élévation spatiale et une chute dans les abysses -, plongeant le public en immersion dans ses tracés atomiques. Entre les lignes et les dégradés de ces paysages instables, le macro rencontre le micro, le physique devient mental, le vertical défie l’horizontal, la force cohabite avec le vulnérable et le sauvage a des allures domestiques…
Philippe Baudelocque (né en 1974 à Yerres, France, où il vit) trace à la craie blanche sur fond noir son bestiaire cosmique, ses univers infinis, ses empreintes de mains, ses OVNI, ses magmas emmêlés… : autant de travaux composés de symboles mystérieux et désacralisés. Ses fresques fragiles et éphémères sont composées de cellules, d’étoiles filantes, de croisement de lignes chamaniques et autres motifs - ses « codex » - qu’il dessine à l’avance dans un carnet.
Stelios Faitakis, Elegy Of May. Part I: The Deepness Of Things. Part II: The Round Table
Stelios Faitakis présente deux peintures murales sur le thème de l’insoumission, tissant des liens entre les événements de Mai 68 influencés par la pensée situationniste, et les luttes actuelles. Comme l’artiste le précise : « Les deux surfaces de mon projet au Palais de Tokyo présentent une relation intéressante entre elles, l’une étant cachée sous l’autre. C’était parfait pour une composition en deux parties (…), toutes deux en lien étroit avec des images bien connues de l’iconographie byzantine, de la crucifixion et de la Cène, mais détournées. »
Sur fonds dorés ou argentés, les peintures d’Histoire de Stelios Faitakis (né en 1976, vit à Athènes) décomposent l’architecture, les symboles géométriques, la typographie et remixent les références et les techniques. Ses icônes désacralisées mettent en scène des auréoles enflammées, des résistants palestiniens, des émeutes, les excès du capitalisme ou plus récemment les traversées mortuaires des migrants.
JR et OSGEMEOS, Manutention - ŒUVRE INACCESSIBLE AU PUBLIC
Installée dans un espace inaccessible au public, l’œuvre de JR et les OSGEMEOS est visible grâce à un écran vidéo situé dans le Foyer Jean-Renoir (niv. 1).
Pour leur première collaboration dans une institution, JR et les OSGEMEOS investissent un tunnel souterrain secret du Palais de Tokyo. Travaillant sur la mémoire de ces murs – pendant l’Occupation, les sous-sols du Palais de Tokyo ont été réquisitionnés pour stocker des milliers de pianos spoliés –, les artistes ont collé des photographies, élaboré des peintures à partir d’images d’archives, brûlé les plafonds et composé des sculptures en bougies.
Les peintures de Otavio et Gustavo Pandolfo (nés à Sao Paulo en 1974, où ils vivent), connus sous le nom de OSGEMEOS, mixent les codes du graffiti avec ceux du hip-hop, du folklore brésilien, de la politique, des cirques alternatifs, ou encore de la mythologie. Depuis 2002, ils peignent une série de « Géants » jaunes, dans l’espace public, pour rétrécir visuellement nos villes. JR (né en 1983, il vit entre Paris et New York) effectue un travail de photographies XXL, en noir et blanc, qu’il colle dans l’espace public pour révéler les invisibles du monde entier, des banlieues françaises à la Turquie, de Times Square au Louvre, en passant par les ghettos du Kenya ou les favelas du Brésil.
Olivier Kosta-Théfaine, Soffitto
Olivier Kosta-Théfaine s’empare de trois coupoles sur lesquelles il compose au briquet un ciel calciné - la technique vient des halls HLM où des jeunes, pour brûler le temps, s’essayent aux écritures en feu sur les plafonds - remixant les fresques classiques des Palais Italiens avec la tradition du vandalisme quotidien des cités. Olivier Kosta-Théfaine dissèque la ville par ses périphéries, ses mauvaises réputations et ses légendes urbaines. Il peint les détails abstraits d’une rue, observe les mauvaises herbes ou crée des écharpes de supporters de foot en hommage aux banlieues, ciblant la tension qu’il y a entre l’envie de fuir sa zone tout en la défendant corps et âme.

Spanish Banks Beach
Nothing to do with the Red Umbrella Project
"Under cover of night, four Vancouverites meet to celebrate their city. From Spanish Banks, skyline silhouettes Stanley Park, Cypress. Tonight, we have reason: for too long we’ve grumbled of wet, not truly celebrating our City’s great gift – the rain. For in our dark, damp days do we not await the pleasures of spring: sunshine, buds, colours emerge. Alas, what of the pleasures of winter: as rains pour, leaves fall, umbrellas open to meet the skies, rainblossoms. Under cover of night, four Vancouverites meet to celebrate their city, for better or worse, rain or shine.
In civic spirit, the Rainblossom Project (with the help of VIA) invites Vancouver’s sister cities of Odessa, Yokohama, Edinburgh, Guangzhou, Los Angeles, and Seoul to spread the red."

Happy New Year! I have a lot of anticipation for this year. One thing I am excited about is that I am going to do a 365 project this year. I have missed having photography in my life on a daily basis so I am going to shoot every day and post every day. I will use film as well so I will be incorporating that as well considering developing time.
Every New Year's, we have a sleepover with our group of friends and all our kids. Last night, we had four couples sleeping in one room and eleven children scattered all over the house. We cook, we sing, we sip, we pray, we laugh, we play, we revel and we celebrate. It's one of my favorite times of the year and it's a perfect way to bring in the new year.
Anticipating good things this year.
