FREEDOM FOR BIRMANIA! JUSTICE CAN'T BE A DREAM!
photo by Reuters.
Come infinitesimale segno di protesta di fronte a tutto quello che sta succedendo in Birmania le mie foto rimarrano girate.
Il fotoreporter ucciso si chiamava Kenji Nagai, aveva 52 anni e lavorava per l'agenzia video giapponese APF. Nagai è stato colpito nei pressi della pagoda di Sule, dove manifestavano oltre diecimila persone. Un altro fotoreporter straniero, con al polso un braccialetto con la bandiera degli Stati Uniti, è rimasto ferito nello stesso episodio e la sua videocamera è stata sequestrata dai militari.

4 dogs,1 man
a night time frolic at dog park. More literal than many others I've taken in the same series. Sometimes, often, there are nothing but large black dogs there. This is a composite of several images, but it really captures what it's like to be in the midst of the action, with dogs running hither and thither, playing wildly as the people try to stay out of their way.

Last Call
I dunno, been in kind of a morbid mood the last couple of weeks, been crawling around in graveyards or borrowing skeletons and stuff like that for photoshoots.
"Borrowed" this idea from a buddy of mine, www.lydur.is.
This is Daði and the one walking away is Birkir. We set out in pretty shitty weather, and it was even worse when we got to the location, rained lightly and was VERY windy, so much that it was hard to stand up straight. Was going to underexpose the backround and light Daði up with a monolight but there was just no way cause of the wind so I only used ambient lighting. Dug a big hole but just so Daði could lie down and stick his head out of the sand and asked Birkir to walk away towards the shore (this is taken at the beach at Kleifarvatn).
Post processing was pretty minimal, first I did raw conversion, then tone mapped the shot slightly with photomatrix. After that I used curves for contrast, channel mixer for b/w conversion and hue/sat for making it sepia toned, added frame and sharpened after resizing.
For some reason the TIFF full res version of this had been saved without exif data so for those interested this is shot with a Canon 5D and a 85mm lens, iso 100, f2.0 and a 1/500 shutter.

Indian workmen at a little chalk factory, Kerala
At a hot day, sailing through the lush green of the Keralan Backwaters we arrived at this scene. For a moment I thought this place was caught by a local snow shower (all the palmtrees were white) but it appeared to be a little chalk factory.

Citadel of Erbil April 2006
For more informations about Iraqi Kurdistan, see my set
Citadel of Erbil.
It was a refugee camp until November 2006. The refugees were then evicted by Kurdish government officials and each family was given $4.000 to build a house in the suburbs of the capital.
The government has been planning on restoring the citadel, which is on the waiting list of the UNESCO as part of the world heritage.
It was a very emotional time to be playing music there with our biniou and bombarde (two tradional Breton instruments), as children were shouting with joy, even louder than ourselves.
So it was a shock for me to come back in December and find that cats were now the only inhabitants of the place...

Revolutionary Hustler
He certainly looked like a revolutionary. He was hanging around in the main square all made up to look like a revolutionary soldier. He was hustling tourists with cameras. He had such an amazing face I had to take the picture, and pay him a dollar.

Chief Jean-Denis - Ambrym Vanuatu
We had a really warm welcome in the north villages near Olal, some people spoke french (Vanuatu was a french/english condominium). We were able to see all the nakamals, nasaras and statues. It's a living museum of art!
