Sacha’s Day – 4 years!
Sacha’s fourth birthday yesterday.
A movie I made when we were still living in our small flat on Altaiskaya street in St.Petersburg. Things do change hey!
Peel Slowly and See
No toys to put in the box this week (Toys in a Box). However every week we have to throw away something that went bad in the kitchen. Last week’s leftover chicken-soup was not that photogenic, so this banana ended up in the box this morning.
Sunday morning
Brings the dawn in
It’s just a restless feeling by my side
Early dawning
Sunday morning
It’s just the wasted years so close behind
Watch out the world’s behind you
There’s always someone around you who will call
It’s nothing at all
Sunday morning
And I’m falling
I’ve got a feeling I don’t want to know
Early dawning
Sunday morning
It’s all the streets you crossed, not so long ago
Watch out the world’s behind you
There’s always someone around you who will call
It’s nothing at all
Autumn Reflections
It was a beautiful autumn day so we went for a Sunday walk in the Provincial Domain ‘Wachtebeke’. I focused on reflections a bit, with the above picture coming straight from the D40. Here are two post-edits from this afternoon:
LEGO – Boys wil be boys ;-)
About a year ago I posted an entry about how impressed I was with the foodscapes of Carl Warner.
A colleague recently send me a powerpoint presentation of Erik Johansson. A young photograper and retoucher who really loves to ‘play’ with images.He isn’t shy to show his influences amongst with Escher and Margritte (one never should try to hide that by the way). Some good stuff there, so I thought I’d pass it on. I took the liberty to post one of his images where you can see he uses his old Lego. One of his earlier images (2007). Some pieces clearly have been used intensively. You’ve got to love Lego. Go check out his work and enjoy
Some other people who love to play with Lego:
Marcus Trimble, Architect and Design Teacher at the University of Sydney Faculty of Architecture:
And of course the classics in Lego by United Kingdom based, Strobist aficionado Mike Simpson aka Balakov on Flickr.
Make a Wish!
This weekend we were invited for a Birthday Party!!! A shadow play, jumping castle, lots of balloons and sweets…our oldest son, nearly four, loved it (of course). Unfortunately, just like his younger brother, he’s been having a bit of a cold and a hard to get rid of cough. After I brought him back home, I went back to at least make a wish for him, because Fa & Davy (our hosts) had gotten Dreamflyers straight from Thailand.
Thanks you guys ever so much for this great initiative and having us over! Here are some pics, all at very high ISO, so a bit ‘noisy’. If I get permission of some of the other families I’ll post some more up here that I think are a lot better because you can see the cute expressions on the kids faces upon releasing their Dream Flyer.
Have a great week!
Breaking News
This just arrived in my mailbox! Way to go guys! Two Thumbs Up!
Dear Supporter of The Impossible Project,
the pleasure is all ours to herewith inform you about the latest and likewise groundbreaking news regarding our quest to keep Instant Photography alive by re-inventing a new analog integral film for vintage Polaroid cameras.
Already holding the first working hand-coated samples in our trembling hands, we are pleased to herewith announce an epoch making cooperation between Polaroid (who can no longer resist the stir we are making) and The Impossible Project:
The new licensee of the Polaroid Brand – The Summit Global Group – will re-launch the legendary Polaroid One Step Camera and is therefore commissioning The Impossible Project to develop and produce a limited edition of Polaroid branded Instant Films in the middle of 2010.
We are proud and excited that our ambitions and all the relentless work we have already invested are now becoming the foundation for Polaroid’s comeback as a producer of Instant Cameras.
Large-scale production and worldwide sale of The Impossible Project’s new integral film materials under its own brand will already start in the beginning of 2010 – with a brand new and astonishing black and white Instant Film and the first colour films to follow in the course of the year.
At this point we would like to thank every single one of your for all your overwhelming support so far- THANK YOU! It’s fair to say that we wouldn’t be where we are now if it was not for all your help.
For further developments, upcoming news and detailed updates please stay tuned to www.the-impossible-project.com
Sincerely,
Time to shoot up that old film ;-) Well, I did try to have two thumbs up by holding the cam between my shoulder and chin, and a string between my teeth to pull the release. However this turned out to be a bit too difficult at such a short notice :-) I wouldn’t call it impossible though ;-) With a bit of practice…
Now for the next step (pun intended): What will the Legendary camera cost…and maybe even more important: what about the film? Hmmm…’limited’…kinda sounds expensive doesn’t it? But heck! If it’s for a good cause, who cares ;-)
