The Frozen Last day of January.

Trees!

Other project, the subject? Trees. Well, omethjing that is all around us but we don't really pay any attention to, because of being so used to it.

Friendly much?

Another homework project, very simple to be honest not my favourite one, quite personal but done in a complete laziness. Oh well.

Testing the lightening kit, nephew amd sister in law. Playing about, fun time!

January.2011

 Friends? In Poland, all over the world! all the ways to communicate, oh joy!

 Saturday boredom speaks for itself. WHO ARE THOSE PEOPLE?!

January.2011

Once again. Same people, new ones, life's changing. The kid's aren't allright. 

January.2011

When we were young the future was so bright

The old neighborhood was so alive

And every kid on the whole damn street

Was gonna make it big and not be beat

Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn

The kids are grown up but their lives are worn

How can one little street

Swallow so many lives

[Chorus]

Chances thrown

Nothing's free

Longing for what used to be

Still it's hard

Hard to see

Fragile lives, shattered dreams

Jamie had a chance, well she really did

Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids

Mark still lives at home cause he's got no job

He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot

Jay committed suicide

Brandon OD'd and died

What the hell is going on

The cruelest dream, reality

Litter and pollution?

Litter and pollution is the subject for a wider discussion. 

Why is it important? Because it's our choice what we'll do with it, what will happen to us and our earth, the world we all live in, our society. 

Do we really care?

We see it as every day use objects, plastic in the bathroom, kitchen, everywhere but do we really think about what will happen to it next? 

January.2011

Simple thank you! If you care, it's not hard, simple and easy, quick and useful!

Just bin it.

January.2011

Was it really so hard to simply bin it? Why do we expect others to do it for us? 

One said "someone gets paid for it!" so what? will it make such a big deal to us if we simply BIN IT?

January 2011

It's our choice what we do with our health but really, but really should take a bit more responsibility for our earth, there's no other place like this... so far. Respect it.

iPod project summary

Well, after all i have to say i am pretty happy with my grade :3 My first merit! ;) it'll be just better, i know it ;) 

So guys, iPhone - what's yours really for? 

Thanks to the models!

I guess I could simply do better with the technical side of the project where I have clearly failed with the lightening! As well as probably including the faces would make the content more personal and detailed, because of the high contrast negs the idea of concentrating on style of clothing failed. Damn you studio!

12.2010

Another - the succesfull one - studio shot. Pretty nice I think, personally I like the way it easily passes on the idea of mess or iPhone. 

12.2010

No, it doesn't matter who we are, what like or what we like. We all can find something for ourselves in iphone. As an idea - I like it, i am amazed with the outcome of those portraits! Have that nice feeling in them, of a rebellious but hidden religious. Don't judge a book by its cover, you never know what's inside. Never. 

Northwich 12.2010

Special thanks to the model. 

Oh yes, my home browsers do not wanna work with blogspot post editing so sadly I can't waste my life time SPAMing on here. 

Update time!

Well, christmas breaks over, time for a little update! 

The pandas, are a clearly a very personalised charm; a gift of a friend - a little one but means hell of a lot!

December.2010

Northwich Town,

the interesting part about it is the fact how empty the town is in winter. Everyone just disappeared, stayed at home with a nice, hot brew or chocolate, only few people were brave enough to finish their Christmas shopping on the last minute... Very last minute hehe. 

December.2010

The wall of mine as I call it. Very personal, full of inspirations and ideas that keep me going with everyday life and not just. 

December.2010

The "lovely" café in town. Let's face it... I HATE it. The walls are bright pink, the atmosphere so doesn't feel right if you want me to be honest, but seeing friends making a coffee for you then watch you enjoy the hot drink while they have to work... Simply priceless! Okay, okay... coffee is about 2£ but oh well... 

December.2010

New Year, new way of life maybe? I have no idea, but I truly feel like it'll turn thing 180degrees! I hope, 'cause then it'll be okay, very okay - right? 

December.2010

Another wall of inspirations, all the pictures stuck up, to remind me of the people i care for, I live because of and partly for as well. One came in, and said how nice it is that at least i have that tiny christmas decoration on - the angel. Duh! No, i don't need christmas for a little angel take care of me, them, us. It's there all the time, a little guardian - right? 

December 2010

And oh yes, if anyone asks - the pictures been taken with a simple iPhone 3GS camera so I am aware of the fact that the quality isn't the best, or any near being good. 

Early war photographers

Roger Fenton 
Roger Fenton is known for covering the Crimean War, which is a pity, because it only formed a small proportion of his output in all the other areas, such as landscape photography; also it somewhat obscures the major part he played in promoting photography in general.

In January 1851 Roger visited Paris, and was really impressed by the freedom that photographers in France had been granted. By contrast, progress in England was very slow because of Talbot's claims arising from his patent.
In 1852 he visited Russia, and his photographs were amongst the first ever to be seen in England, guaranteeing him instant fame.
Fenton photographed Queen Victoria's family, and also became the official photographer at the British Museum.
Fenton's war pictures, therefore, tend to portray war as a gorgeous pageant; there are no dead bodies, and one might almost imagine that the Crimean war was like some kind of a picnic. There are no action shots (this for technical reasons), but those of soldiers are carefully set and posed groups.  

Felice Beato

Felice Beato was the first photographer to devote himself entirely to photographing in Asia and the Near East. He photographed in Japan, India, Athens, Constantinople, the Crimea, and Palestine. He settled in Yokohama; from 1863 to 1877 made hundreds of ethnographic portraits and genre scenes in Japan. 

Felice's photographic career was also long affiliated with images of war. He photographed the Opium War in China in 1860 and the Sudanese colonial wars in 1885. 

While in partnership with his brother-in-law J. Robertson in the 1850s, he documented the Indian Mutiny and its aftermath. Their photographs are believed and known to be the first to show human corpses on a battlefield.
