Your life on film: Marina

There are moments in your life when you simply need a photograph. The first face you fall in love with, the ultimate moment of beauty you'd like to keep to yourself forever, because you know it will drip away like the dewdrop on a morning-washed treebranch in the grip of time... or the yearbook with your graduation photo, prom portrait, wedding day. I didn't think I'd have fun shooting wedding photography, but it happened naturally as two friends decided they would love each other for life and the bride invited me to shoot her portraits. Marina is 27 years old, loves to dance and smiles the entire time, showing no signs of worry on her own wedding day. She is sure that this will be one of the best days in her life, and with this feeling she forgets about the camera's presence and stays herself. Out of ca. 500 photos, it's quite the tedious task chosing which to post.



My next wedding shoot is set for October, when Krassy and Zori will take us to the wild wild west... :))

Shadow / Highlight

Take me by the hand
And show me the shadow that casts a truthful moment of significance amongst all light

Cosmopolitan Circus (Urban Depression)

Inside out

Upside down

All false thoughts

Down to the ground

Up goes the Sun

The clock starts ticking

Stressed out kamikazes

Running nonsensely

Busy busy bees

Automated diabetics

Busy little ants

Thought controlled carnivores

Through the air

They fly away

Below the ground

They hide from rain

This frantic cesspool

Grows bigger every day

Let’s call it evolution

And watch them as they play

Brain in the box

Trying to pay attention his thoughts
Didn't realize time passing by...
He got lost in his own thoughts.
The flesh withered
but the mind prevailed.

Do you ever know what you're drinking?
Do you ever pay attention to what you're really thinking...

Afloat between four walls and then back out into the sunshine

Here some snapshots from the roadtrip through the country this weekend.

here and there

Okay here we go. I've proven already that I'm incapable of storing up gold nuggets for black days, so sue me. Nothing piled up under the mattrace for a new camera, merda! But creativity in its essence never had much to do with money, so this is the best we shall offer you, dear reader, who must have either lost your path among the tubes of the matrix or have nothing better to do.

Visit the photo forum or better, go have a drink somewhere else. Cheerz!

02.25am

I leave Johnny’s, it’s time to go home. I close the front door and I start walking, having as company parked cars, street lights and trees.

There’s nothing new around, and as I’m walking, my eyes tend to look down, the sidewalk’s pattern began to absorb all my attention. Thousands of stone cubes beneath my feet, they will also walk me home tonight. White squares reflecting the dim light and black squares holding the shade that balance this rectilineous journey. I can only hear my footsteps, like a clock ticking, hypnotizing me.

I notice some cubes are missing here and there, like if it was some kind of passage to this cubic underworld. But it’s too dark and I cannot see beyond the entrance, I guess I’ll have to go in…

Millions of cubes form this underworld, where each and every one of them plays a different sound, every single sound in the universe can be played, and all you have to do is think it and they’ll play it. All the cubes were the same size, but now they expand and contract as they move around, in harmony with my thoughts.

One tiny cube I’m holding starts growing until it gets bigger than planet Earth, and I’m watching it, like if I was looking from outer space but still having it in my hand, and as I’m looking at my distorted reflection in the cube, it reminded me of Escher holding the sphere, in the reflection I could see a countless number of silvered cubes, and I could hear them play sounds I’ve never heard before, all in a perfect harmony.

If only I had brought my camera…

My left hand instinctively goes into my pocket, I take out my keys and place the blue key in the keyhole.

02.35am

I'm home.
