basta
no quiero más de muerte
no quiero más de dolor o sombras basta
mi corazón es espléndido como una palabra
mi corazón se ha vuelto bello como el sol
que sale vuela canta mi corazón
es de temprano un pajarito
y después es tu nombre
tu nombre sube todas las mañanas
calienta el mundo y se pone
solo en mi corazón
sol en mi corazón

I read this morning in the U Bahn an interview with Magnum’s Thomas Hoepker, in a back number of Profi Foto. Hoepker is undoubtely one of the big names in documentary photgraphy and has produced a bunch of images that are already part of our collective memory. I had the chance to see him during […]
As I saw this picture of Bill Vaccaro in Flak Magazine I had the impulse of going right away to pick my collecting-dust-after-a-year Holga, wrap it again in black tape, load it with a roll of Ilford 400 and have it ready to hit the street this morning to take a few snaps of the […]
El lagarto está llorando.
La lagarta está llorando.
El lagarto y la lagarta
con delantaritos blancos.
Han perdido sin querer
su anillo de desposados.
¡Ay, su anillito de plomo,
ay, su anillito plomado!
Un cielo grande y sin gente
monta en su globo a los pájaros.
El sol, capitán redondo,
lleva un chaleco de raso.
¡Miradlos qué viejos son!
¡Qué viejos son los lagartos!
¡Ay cómo lloran y lloran.
¡ay! […]
Charles Traub. He would become very renowned a few years later - and his color work is simply astonishing -, yet I love his b&w street snaps from the early 70’s in Chicago.
(Here a link to Traub’s photography do’s and dont’s, posted in September in Alec Soth’s blog)
Thanks to I Heart Photography I discovered a few days ago Joachim Schmid’s work.
The photos below are part of a project that Schmid started in 1982, Bilder von der Straße (Picture from the street). Schmid has collected in these 25 years almost 900 pictures that people lost, torn up, or simply forgot. I always feel […]
German photographer Robert Dämming plays with textures to produce color-rich images. I like the most his photos of Berlin’s ‘Palast der Republik‘ (below), now being demolished after months of heated debate.
Iceland is different. In the Iceland Express (the icelandic low-cost carrier) website you cannot only book plane tickets, get flight info or rent a car as usual. You can also peek at true icelandic sense of humor at the company’s blog.
Just a sample:
45 different ways to say the word “green,” but if you want a […]
“To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.”
Adam Krawesky’s site is a mixed bag. Yet among the sets you can find some really good shots. I specially like the “Walls” series.
from “Walls”
from “Street”
from “b&w”
