La bouche, oui! It's bloody under wraps. Not because of me, but the producers want balckout 1 mounth after release because as always, there is an exclusivity. So before end of March nothing. Those guys could work for the CIA.
It's for MTV spain.
I have more suggestive frames to enhance male senses but Lu-La being a serious victorian forum I do not dare. (in fact, suggestive have been abandoned by the prod because not "politicaly correct", there are parents associations and church that could demand). I think I'd like to sign for Rammstein sometimes...

Slobodan, you really look like your father. It's nice to see some private pics from members. I also really like this thread.



That's what killed my calendar career, and I didn't even make OTT pictures, just what you see on the site or shown here on LuLa. I hated and still hate porn, but who decides what's okay?

Exactly, when I said suggestive, you would laugh...not even erotic. But it seems that they don't want trouble with group pressure. Sometimes I tend to think that the human race is a mistake in the universe, like a poison.

Hi Fred

I’m not sure if I could agree with the ‘poison’ diagnosis – there may well be a little something rotten in the state of Denmark, but there is something else in the human race that’s also quite loveable (no, not Lovable) at least, in some humans, and I think that’s what makes the entire experiment worthwhile.

Perhaps it all boils down to the right little groups coming together, mixing the pot a wee bit and producing something appetizing. For instance, though I more or less always worked alone or, if I couldn’t avoid it, with the tightest little group of those who simply had to be around, I still envy you your time in Madrid: I’d love to be there and have something to contribute, but I can’t imagine what today. But, the atmosphere of that plateau… now that is a drug! Always loved making up little scenes, minimal theatre.

You know I bought a Fiesta. Well, today I went to the garage and asked the guy to get rid of the rust and do some paintwork on the 12-year-old Escort I’d left behind. It’s next to worthless on the market, as it is, and too good to scrap. So, after losing a lot of sleep, I decided that since it is ITV-valid until the end of July, the road tax had already been paid for the year, and the boot/trunk is much bigger than the one on the Fiesta, why not keep it? So, that’s what I’m doing.  Hope my kids decide to come out and spend time here again this year – at least they can have wheels of their own and won’t have to think of the added expense of renting, which they seldom do. But I love the little new one! It is so directional, great torque and no fuel consumption to cry about. I’d always felt diesels to be nose-heavy (try a 1.9 diesel Megane on a corner!), but not this one. Anyway, as Shakespeare might have declared, he who hath a spare hath no care… as long as either keeps working, he should have added.

Heaven forfend, I might even start doing double car portraits!

;-)

Yes the atmosphere of the plateau...that's a drug I know. That's the only real link that I have with the work. Just for that it's worth. I envy the landscapers, their plateau is there everytime they want, but I just can't shoot anything else than human beings and street does not fullfill me enough.

Cheers.



Fred, I can see clearly that you suffer the same disease (conviction?) that I have since 1960. It doesn't get any better despite repeated attempts to subvert your natural programme and fall in love with cement, wood or tin.

I hope you can survive it by getting a lot of work doing exactly what interests you; the reason you won't be abe to give up trying is because, like myself, you know that some fortunate few can pull it off, and that they do spend their lives doing the work they need in order to flourish and find what the younger Mr Jagger said that he could not...

I love this thread... for the opportunity to be all over the place and ramble just about anything, "just for the hell of it", as Rob put it...-
Or take this forum for instance... no matter where in the world you are or how old or young you are (of feel)... you can exchange ideas, debate them, find like-minded people,  virtual friends (or enemies), or have a good (rhetorical) fight occasionally... in other words, someone to talk to, when nobody else is around.

My thoughts too Slobodan.

Lovely picture of your father..

+1.  There was a thread (not photography related) on a fly fishing forum I frequent that was hundreds of pages long, and it was about anything and nothing, a repository for random thoughts. Sadly, it vanished into the ether when the forum migrated to new software.  I hope that never happens to this thread.

Claire, I forgot to mention in another thread how much I like your new Hasselbald/square b&w images. Very elegant and atmospheric. I hope you will not get my next compliment wrong, but I especially like your gray matte... goes so well with the images.

Toke-

You've had your 'blad for a few weeks or so now; how do you find it in use? Do you feel that it has become almost instinctive in use, or do you hanker after digital features once you are using it?

I feel as if I could pick up my long lost ones again and feel so familiar with them that no relearning curve would even show its nose. There's no doubt in my mind that it was a system that led to very much more mentally focussed work if only because it generally lived on three legs; it wasn't really exciting in the ways that a Nikon F was, but it sure did concentrate the mind on the job in hand.

For some deeply flawed psychological reason I keep seeing a closeup of the the right side of somebody's head of hair. Wish it was mine!

Whose head of hair?  Phyllis Diller's?  ;D

It's actually a bromeliad growing on the trunk of a cypress tree.  By the end of next month they should be in full bloom - should be quite a site.

Even more so, then, if it had been someone's hair! Medusa comes to mind.

So I went for a boat ride on a bright and sunny day with my little point & shoot halfway through a roll of fast film.  I love grain, but this might be a wee bit too much.  ;D

It looks like excellent Street Photography to me, but I can't find the street.  ;)

As usual, you manage to capture the spirit of a moment and not just what it looked like. Nice!

Think I like the watch, Toke; does the pooch have one too? Some of you Americans manage to look so cool...

;-)  Enjoy the life!

Of course the pooch has a watch, Rob. It's on the left paw.

Obviously that's where it would be, but fore or aft?

Eric,

The "street" is to the left of the house.  It's a watery street, deep enough for the big fishing boats.  To the right is the "sidewalk", a place that should be avoided by all motorized vessels.  Sadly, too many pleasure boaters out there not paying attention have left a dizzying array of prop scars in the sea grass.  :'(

Rob,

Jasmine doesn't need a watch.  She has an inner clock in her stomach that is far more accurate than any Rolex.  ;)

My God, Toke, you make her sound like something from Peter Pan (or an Omega ad.).

For the first time in two weeks I have some time ( and the means) to visit the site after hours. Having had the honour of recently  ( unwillingly and forcibly, by having two doors of my house raped by forced entry) donating my laptop to those less fortunate than me, the " someone to talk to, when nobody else is around" words that Slobodan used to describe this thread rang truer than ever to me. Thanks for planting the seeds for a place to ramble Rob, be it with words and thoughts or photos.

I would love to post something to accompany this, fact is though I've lost quite a lot of files ( guess who bought an extra hard drive recently for backup) and the CS5 program that I opened tonight for the first time looks like a long forgotten foreign language, with the new ( for me, a CS3 user for the last three years) interface with all the shiny bells and whistles. Strange how "lost" one feels when faced with sudden and unplanned changes.

To top it all off, I'm taking delivery of a new ( for me) 4x4 pick-up next week, parting ways, after five years,  with another very good and close friend who has carried me through and over some of the roughest terrain my country has. I guess all that's left is changing camera brands and the fiance..the kids by default have a free pass of being mine forever though.

Toke, I like the photo, it needs a flyrod propped up on the side of the railing to complete it for me :) :)

Fly fishing, railings and Weimaraners do not mix.  I do not wish to discuss how I know this.

Sorry for your troubles, losing files is probably the worst of it, all else can be replaced.  Hope you were not home when the "Visitors" arrived?
