a certain experience
there is nothing to explain,
but there is everything to experience
antony gormley
but there is everything to experience
antony gormley
I visited the Antony Gormley exhibition at Kunsthaus Bregenz.
Antony Gormley is a British sculptor and conceptional artist. Mostly, his works treat the human body, he uses his own body as subject, tool and material.
The wide rooms of the museum offered the perfect place for his works, one room was filled with sculptures of himself, another one with metal circles.
I myself watched and photographed the people in the museum, for example the guy sitting in one corner of the room. He seemed completely anxious and exhausted, and completely lost among all these metal circles... I wonder what he was doing there.
If you want to comment on my works, please do so on deviantART. Thank you.

one shot
'leave an impression' by ine87
1. First of all, what's your name and where do you live?
My name is Inés, and I live in Montevideo, Uruguay
2. Do you remember when and where this photo was taken?
This photo was taken more than a year ago (June 2008) in my neighbourhood
3. Did you went out shooting street that day or did you just have a camera with you by coincidence as you saw it?
That day I went out shooting with my boyfriend
4. What made you take this photo? Any story you want to tell with it?
This man is an artist that was hired to paint an ad for Ballantine's. The campaign's claim is "Leave an impression", and that's the title of my photograph too. This scene just caught our attention, it's not normal to see this in my neighbourhood...
5. How did you compose it? Any post-processing?
It was quite a quick shot actually, I didn't have to move around that much. I think I was lucky, the sky's colours that day seemed to be part of the ad.
As for post-processing: levels, colour adjustments, and some minor cropping.
6. How makes it feel you now? What do you think when you look at it? Do you still like it? Anything you think you could have done better?
I still like this photo, but looking back, I should've taken more shots of the same scene. I wouldn't change composition nor the point of view, but I would've waited for the man to be actually painting.
Make sure to visit her deviantART gallery.
'One Shot' is supposed to be a new kind of series, these questions I'll ask several photographers about one particular photo in their gallery. Hope you enjoy.

it's all in the hips.
Alot of use bring our eye to the veiwfinder and then compose and expose or draw your camera to your hips (if you're one of the lucky one with a old roliflex). Stumbled across this video a while ago, Joe Wigfall has i guess a little bit of a unorthodox 'veiw' (forgive the pun) about how he takes his street shots, have a look at the video, gonna give this a go next time i'm out,
And on a side-note, if you can find this book called "Photojournalisim" by Reuel Golden (looks like this )
grab it, found this book in the bargin bin at a bookstore, well worth the $20 dollars i payed for it... it's got a great selection of photo that no words i could type could give it any justice....I'll throw up some photos from it soon.
Have a good one all!
Ben

world through a plastic lens
street photography doesn't always have to be done via a good quality camera, and more important it doesn't have to be all black and white. so here are a few of my favourite street shots taken with Lomography cameras such as Holga and Diana.

and please also have a look at this set by cHr1st1an S@Flickr
all those photos included were taken with a Lomo Supersampler
