Martin Hyers and William Mebane

I'm fascinated by the relationship of identity and space. I'm interested in the things we collect and surround ourselves with. Photographer Martin Hyers and William Mebane have an interesting way of capturing this in a very "raw" way. Please check out more of their images on their site.

LOVE CHARLIE

I love this blog i'd mentioned in class. the navigation is a bit slow and of course i'm biased towards these little monkeys but i do appreciate the spirit in which these were created maintained for so many years. some of these individual photos are just fantastic and remind us that life is a collection of memories, that define a life lived. that is the beauty of photography.

Chromatic aberration

There was some discussion about the 5D and chromatic aberration in class recently, and while I can't specially address why there is chromatic aberration on the 5D, it is very likely due to the lens. Even high end lens (especially telephoto) lenses are subject to this phenomenon. For all the technical details, please refer to an article that appeared (last year?) in Digital Photo Pro. This magazine has grown in it's five year life from being a disposable quick read, to being something well worth the hour or two it would take to skim and read the issue in it's entirety (all my opinion of course).

The article is here.

PARIS JE T'AIME

This is a 2006 film that consists in 18 short movies set in different arrondissements of the city. "Love" ( -not only romantic love) was the theme of the project. Directors and actors from all around the world were part of it, including people like Wes Craven, Gus Van Sant, Joel and Ethan Cohen, or actors Natalie Portman, Elijah Wood, Gena Rowlands, etc.

To me the best short is the last of the serie, about the 14eme arrondissement... an american tourist in Paris :-) Very poetic, amazing writing - crazy how the simplicity of her words can transmit the complexity of her emotions. Also hilarious -and charming- american accent and rough french... watch it (subtitled) !

Also loved Natalie Portman in that one. Enjoy !
