26 Apr 2009 32. Amsterdam Days – "The Mirror"
Author: picturegal |  Category: Photos |  Leave a Comment

“Liksom vissa folk tro, att en människas själ finns i hennes skugga, så tro andra (eller samma) folk, att den finns i den bild som uppstår i vatten eller i en spegel. [...] På Saddle Island i Melanesien finns en tjärn, ’som dödar var och en som ser ned i den; den onde anden får makt över hans liv genom spegelbilden i vattnet.’” – James G Frazer, Den gyllene grenen

“As some peoples believe a man’s soul to be in his shadow, so other (or the same) peoples believe it to be in his reflection in water or a mirror. [...] In Saddle Island, Melanesia, there is a pool ‘into which if any one looks he dies; the malignant spirit takes hold upon his life by means of his reflection on the water.’” – James G Frazer, The Golden Bough

à l’avant-première liégeoise de son dernier film “Dans la brume électrique” (In the Electric Mist),
au Cinéma Sauvenière à Liège. 21 avril 2009

… un plaisir rare que d’écouter cet érudit-passionné du 7ème art, plaisir qu’il est permis de retrouver dans l’importante somme de ses entretiens avec ses Amis Américains (les grands auteurs d’Hollywood)

22 Apr 2009 brick farm

brick farm || Canon5D2/EF17-40L@40 | 1/640s | f18 | ISO800
Front street, across from St. Lawrence Market.
One of the amazing things about the new generation DSLRs, or at least the 5D Mark II is the incredible high ISO performance. I accidentally shot this at ISO800 (which gave me f18) but it’s virtually noise free. With the older cams this mistake would have meant loss of much detail.

Luminato Light Balls || Canon5D/EF15f2.8fisheye | Nodal Ninja 3
Luminato festival is getting close and I remembered I shot a few panoramas last year that I never processed. Here is the light installation at Dundas Square as part of Luminato 2008 festival in Toronto. I strongly recommend checking out the larger version on flickr. You can also check out the interactive version below (you need flash installed).

Click and drag to see around. For best experience click on FULL SCREEN.
