yes, there are no gigs in the foreseeable future, and I had to organize all of my photos— a bit of restarting with greater harmony in the presentation. thus, I will start with a simple familiarization: post one photo from each concert, with some 200+ folders, and in some cases with multiple cameras, then post…
you can’t go home again
photo of Παναγιώτης καπογιάννης (Panagiotis Kapogianis) by fernand de Beauvoir, Agia Marina, Egina, Greece. I love that phrase. it’s so applicable to my life experience, and it was much later that I realized that something remains: I still look for bits of “home feelings”, or experiences, when traveling. this happens in Greece, and more so…
sad lovers and giants
in attending a lot of gigs, I have been able to pursue my own ways of photographing groups— since I do not have to publish, I can do what I want. perhaps the most familiar aspect of my approach to rock photography are: 1. look for the Decompressing Moment (like for Daughters or Sad Lovers…
the tunnel
by fernand de Beauvoir Juan Pablo Castel noticed María Iribarne attentively looking at the corner window of his painting, in Ernesto Sábato‘s El Túnel. here, there’s no loneliness in looking out the window to draw the attention of a María, for it’s just an offering in many contrasts to the principal play of geometries and…
light here, light now
by fernand de Beauvoir of course, photography is truly about light, and consequently, also by its absence. there are many countries at varying seasons where one appreciates the light. yet, I have been nothing but seduced by the light here: the street widths, the windows (and their dressing), and peculiar times of day make also…
the influencers
by fernand de Beauvoir being in Prague, and commenting to a friend, there is always a “linear description” to the way I see photographically. it’s something like Josef Sudek+ André Kertész+ Saul Leiter, and I want to include a second Czech Photographer: Jaromír Funke. it feels more comfortable to realize this after some years, than…
well, you know…
by fernand de Beauvoir. the thing is, there’s great juxtaposition to be had here in Prague. but, well, you know, there is that thing of actually walking around with a camera and looking photographically. this will happen in the coming days, with a revisit to the Old Cemetery and the Jewish Cemetery, along with portrait…
when in Prague
in a previous post, I commented on the love for the Czech photographers Joseph Sudek and Jaromír Funke [ link ]. especially with Funke, and works from André Kertész, the use of shadows is a significant element of the photograph, more so in the expression of geometries. while visiting this city, it is difficult to…
the way to video
for its many ills, and there are many (making me to be currently logged-off**, as an alternative to deleting), Instagram by itself and also by users (Anna and Peter) have instigated a call to video. this is not a natural visual for me. the quote: « The way I think of filmmaking – it’s such…
the way to lost
“Helena” by Jose Ángel González Balsa ( @jagonzalezbalsa on Twitter, and oriaciones sucias on Tumblr ) in the most modern of clichés, I got lazy because of photo-social media. it was not quicksand, but perhaps the fabled grey-goo of “creativity” in these networks. thus, it is that the best way to get back to the…
beyond cultural appropriation
it has to happen: the appreciation for an object of art transcends the cultural appropriation that has come before the object is first seen. in this case, a tomb’s artwork for the Famiglia Appiani at Staglieno (in Genova) has become famous through the use of a photograph by French photographer Bernard Pierre Wolff in Joy…
(all about) Saul Leiter quotes + photos
Early Color has been a book that has shaken the photography world, as well as the latter years in the life of Saul Leiter. now in its 6th printing, one can hope it remains in-print forever, and perhaps begin to rival Robert Frank‘s The Americans in terms of influential books. after perusing All About Saul…
