10.28.2013 digest is about Eros, Thanatos and cute pets!
It's been a while huh?! I just was very busy, sick, away, tired and more. I wasn't sleeping much though! I revamped my website (please give it a visit and why not feedback? www.art-eo.com), shot the city of Morocco and revamped my whole photography workflow but I guess you will only be able to see the result thru the next shootings.
I must say I was also complaining a lot about the volcano of photographers in The city of Trier where I live. 100.000 inhabitants and probably as much professional photographers with the following etiquette: Reportage, Hochzeit, Bild, Bearbeitung and other scary German words for the ones like me who do not shoot bikini pin-ups.
If, like I d like to believe, my bottom line lays within a sort of uniqueness (I didn't say better, pay attention!), then I should just continue to do it the way I do and not adapt to step where others are doing better and where I'm not exactly feeling satisfied… And it goes through the redaction of this blog. So here we are!
To start with something tough, here is a photo I saved for a little while now… I do not exactly agree with the author's point of view when it comes to censorship on Facebook, but there are plenty of other channels completely appropriate to share this kind of pictures, including his blog, including mine!
My second pick actually relates to the very first post of this blog where I introduced you to the stunning work of Kate McGwire. After the birth theme we therefore switch to Eros and Thanatos through those intriguing and weirdly sensual sculptures.
"Die Bilder denken, glauben, handeln. Für mich ist Fotografie ein Weg, näher an die Transzendenz zu gelangen".
To finish with a cute, sugar coated and populist note, this essay depicts animal hospitals and would satisfy your curiosity by answering the question "What the heck are they doing there?!".
This essay remains nonetheless brilliant, poignant and intriguing. A must!
With all the love, enjoy!
