Back to the Future

Theyre just so great. A lot of love for Irina Werning.

"I love old photos. I admit being a nosey photographer. As soon as I step into someone else’s house, I start sniffing for them. Most of us are fascinated by their retro look but to me, it’s imagining how people would feel and look like if they were to reenact them today... A few months ago, I decided to actually do this. So, with my camera, I started inviting people to go back to their future."

The Most Powerful Images of 2011

I saw this link the other day 'The Most Powerful Photos of 2011'. The one above is a photo taken this year of an approaching dust-storm in Phoenix.

Dark portraits

I find Lee Jeffries portraits utterly absorbing. Im always looking at peoples eyes and the detail and emotion that he manages to capture is genius. and what a great story too...

Having previously been a sports photographer Jeffries chance meeting with a young homeless girl in the streets of London changes his artistic approach forever. Lee Jeffries recalls that, initially, he had stolen a photo from this young homeless girl huddled in a sleeping bag. The photographer knew that the young girl had noticed him but his first reaction was to leave. He says that something made him stay and go and discuss with the homeless girl. His perception about the homeless completely changes. They become the subject of his art. The models in his photographs are homeless people that he has met in Europe and in the United States. 

Places..

My Mums from Portugal and my Dads Australian so they've shown me some pretty amasing and inspiring places. Its definitely rubbed off on me, about 3 years ago I went traveling to Guatemala and trekked up Volcan Tajumulco. It's 13,845ft and the highest peak in Central America. 

A photo I took of the view from the summit at the crack of dawn with the sun casting 

a shadow of the whole volcano with views as far as Mexico and the Pacific.  

 A photo from the entrance of my tent one morning.. 

I also went trekking in the Jungle and to see the Mayan ruins...

A photo at 4:00am on the top of a ruin watching the sunrise above the Jungle.

Pretty fun to do this and see all those places.. 

"3 guys, 44 days, 11 countries, 18 flights, 38 thousand miles, an exploding volcano, 2 cameras and almost a terabyte of footage..."

Dusty photographs

All this rain makes me so sad, too wintery. But on the plus side, all those 'rainy day' things i've said i'll do and never get round to doing are in sight. I vow that once the clocks go back i will attempt to sort out the dusty chest in the attic which is filled with old photographs...

Im sure i'll find some beauties. Maybe try a Dear Photographesque photo?

oh, and speaking of photos and rainy days.. something Ive always wanted to make but never got round to doing (something that happens frequently) is a HUGE photo collage. Ive made small ones.. but one covering my whole wall, maybe in my new place? 

hmm.. could be fun. time time time
