Going back through old shoots and finding shots that for some reason I decided not to process / share at the time
caliber 7.62x51
Gas operated, rotating bolt with 4 lugs, To provide balancing action, secont gas piston is fitted in the front of the first one. When gun is fired, main gas piston moves rearwards, operating the bolt group, while balancing piston moves in opposite direction, being synchronised to the main one via simple rack and pinion system thus redusing recoil with 25%

This image is part of my "doors" project.
I decider to concentrate on very common and simple everyday use things, doors. But I look for interesting doors.

Guilty as charged!
Right in front of my nose, huge buildings, occupied by hundreds of families.
Downtown San Paulo, Brazil.
Few blocks from the City Hall, the Stock Exchange, the Central Bank among so many other fundamental, worthy and basic institutions.
In just one of the buildings, 475 families occupies 27 unfinished floors.
Kids play and run.
Clotheslines on the outside of the building, without any protection from falling down and in front of the entire city.
Windows, with breathtaking views, of one of the biggest and most populated cities on the Planet, made of compensated wood or sticks, even at the 27th floor.
People that use strength and organization to impose their reality, to a society that doesn’t care to listen.
Guilty as charged!

For over a year now, Elisa and I have been looking out for opportunities to contribute to our Found Shadow Project. Here are some of the results.
We set up these rules for the project:
1. Only 'found' shadows could be entered in the project (nothing is staged!).
2. The object casting the shadow must be out of frame.
3. Only available light, natural or otherwise. may be used.

Wellington Marina.
This evening my meetup group went to see a lighting art exhibition-y thing called Glade 'at a secret location'. It was good fun and interesting but we were not allowed to take photos. So I took my photo for the day outside at the marina.
Then we went for a bite to eat and a natter at The Establishment on Courtenay Place.

Vanuatu warrior dancer ... this guy was awesome ...he and his troupe had just performed a whole bunch of dances and finished with the warrior dance... wow ... very energetic and violent with the spears ... but so cool that they keep up with the old cultures ...
he was happy to pose for me ...most excellent...he looked very tired ans was sweating profusely ... I think his name was Marcel ... his accent was quite thick, plus he was short of breath ...and well ...my hearing ain't what it used to be ...lol
We took a trip to Cornwall last weekend and made our first visit to the Eden Project. I love looking round gardens and the only reason we've not been here before is that it's such a long drive to Cornwall! It seemed like the perfect opportunity to practice with my lensbaby optics. I have no idea what these flowers are though so if anyone can help me caption them I'd really appreciate it!
Project Gemini capsule, this was the first space project I followed (in elementary school). I remember once I persuaded my Mom to let me stay home from school (third grade) so I could watch a launch on TV. I think it was Gemini VI-A (15 December 1965) which was going up to rendezvous with Gemini VII, which was a critical technology to go to the moon. As a kid, I figured in fifty years we would explore the entire solar system. While the world has had some good success with robotic exploration, I still think there is so much more to explore.
After spending much of my working career as an engineer, now I am learning biology, another frontier. Of course, I am excited by the synthesis of space and biology - astrobiology. I hope to live to see another form of life discovered somewhere in our solar system.
Seen in the Museum of Flight, Seattle, Washington USA.

10 / 50 A few thoughts on this project
Rooftops again? Hell yeah.
I've always been really attracted to rooftops and whenever I have the chance to go on top of one I take it with a smile.
Today's the tenth day of this project, the first milestone of it.
So I spent most of the day thinking about what I did for the last 10 days and trying to figure out how to bring out the best out of this next 40 days.
Here's some conclusions :
- I'm not planning ahead of days, making contacts with people and deciding locations beforehand: gotta chance that.
- I'm starting to have shitloads of problems with my flash transmitters (one broke the day before I started and the other one last week) but the new ones are on their way and will get here soon.
- I'm not getting used to the 50mm lens alone. The way I see things is pretty much always in super-wide-angle or very close and this medium standard is giving me the hardest times.
- I'm taking way too many self portraits
A part from this, things are going pretty well, I'm finally starting to predict how the light is gonna look like even before setting it up, and I think I'm starting to understand color temperature a little better.
I was dreaming of NAILING this project from the get go, but looks like it's gonna be a long journey.
"What's all this rant about? Totally unrelated to the photo" you might say.
Yes. And no.
I booked a shooting with a girl for tomorrow and today I spent most of the afternoon experimenting with 2 flashlights and natural light, a little preparation for tomorrow if you will.
And whenever I was taking a pause, I was sitting on that spot smoking a cigarette and thinking about what I just wrote.
Exactly like this.
Ten done, JUST 40 to go :)

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.
Project 365 07/11/2017: This is one of the compact fluorescent bulbs I remember buying on clearance at a hardware store in 2001. It's been on a lamp, ceiling fixture, then back to desk lamp. Now it's on the porch fixture and has been for at least ten years. It's not as bright as it used to be but amazingly at 16-years old it still lights up.
This is the tenth portrait of my attempt at the 100 strangers project.
I'd been at maccas earlier in the day reading my book in the air conditioning. This girl and the one I'll be posting at number 11 came in for a meal. We made eye contact but didn't speak or anything. After a short while a homeless man came over to their seat right by the window and stood by them, with his pants half falling off. We exchanged some worried/knowing glances until he walked past them and hocked up a huge lugey straight into the bin. Our glances went straight to revolution and we all had a laugh. They left and we hadn't spoken a word.
An hour or so later I spotted them in this alley way. I had my camera out and was looking for people so I jumped on the opportunity to shoot some strangers I'd connected with earlier in the day. They told me they where in the city researching a school project on homelessness and had spoken to a few people living on the streets. After I'd shot them they gave me their email addresses so I could sent hem a copy and I wished them luck with their project.
I liked the playmovil big figures on the first story of this shop. After trying to get a good photo of them with my 35mm lense without success I ended up with this shoot.
In May we celebrated the 2nd anniversary of Photographic Project! I am so happy to be part of this wonderful group! Check out our blog!
