Ganesh Chaturthi

Yves Roumazeilles — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 14:29:09 +0000

On August 30, 2009, I shot a few images during the Ganesh Chaturthi festival in Paris, France. Here is a selection.

Next time, I’ll bring a cobra flash in order to lighten a little the shadows… and I recommend having clothes which will tolerate being drowned into coco milk.

Bird photos in Vincennes

Yves Roumazeilles — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 12:22:44 +0000

Ten days ago, I went walking in the bois de Vincennes, near Paris, my photo camera in hand in the footsteps of Fabrice Hénon who accepted to share some of his informations. I’m back with pictures of Eurasian Jay and common kestrel.

Cut-away illustrations

Yves Roumazeilles — Thu, 25 Dec 2008 08:38:16 +0000

This technique is used to demonstrate clearly the operation of a technical product by showing it as if parts were cut away to reveal the internals. This leads to quite a large choice of nice drawings. I collected some of them for your pleasure. They can be gorgeous when the graphic designer is a real artist:

Single Lens Reflex (SLR) camera (Beau Daniels & Alan Daniels)

Cut-away dog (Beau Daniels)

American car (David Kimble)

Kodak DCT Canon EOS Digital SLR Camera (Kevin Husley)

Ear cutaway (Medecine net)

General Motors engine

Stacey Whaley, fractals

Yves Roumazeilles — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 16:26:57 +0000

Stacey Whaley is a painter using the most modern tools available and depending heavily on the mathematical principles of fractals (those graphical figures that tend to repeat themselves at different scales when you zoom in or zoom out).

Apophysis - Copyright (C) Stacey Whaley

In most cases, when people follow this path, the result is quite predictable and there are a few compulsory forms (like the Mandelbrot set) that pop in the pictures. Please, check the admirable result of the example above. Stacey is able to create something that is clearly fractal and simultaneously bringing all the personal content that is the mark of the true artist.

Check all her work in http://intergalacticart.blogspot.com/, even if the updates are too few for our pleasure.

Métro, collages, déchirures

Yves Roumazeilles — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 21:46:31 +0000

I created on RedBubble a calendar (for 2009) that I think should be interesting for people in love with all kinds of artistic alterations.

Images taken from the Paris metropolitan railway (le Métro) in a station under heavy repair. It brought images from the past (probably 20 years ago or more) through the remains of previous decors and acts of cultural vandalism that easily make me think of the slogans of the “Mai 68″ near-revolution in the streets of Paris.

Even shooting the photos seemed out-this-world: Silently and slowly walking the station with another photographer (we did not even exchange a word), while the people around us were waiting for their train trying not to notice the flash lights. It could not have been a more troubling experience, going from an unstuck paper to a poor paint job or a hasty writing between dirty white tiles.

Extreme tanks

Yves Roumazeilles — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 10:22:45 +0000

Even knowing that those are machines created to kill people, you will not be able to keep yourself from laughing or smiling at some of absurdly extreme designs generated by the brains of some military engineers.

Hiroshima photos – never seen before

Yves Roumazeilles — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 17:58:20 +0000

On August 6th, 1945, Hiroshima was bombed with the first atomic weapon. U.S. serviceman Robert L. Capp, who was attached to the occupation forces, found undevelopped films with many pictures that are available only this year. They are disturbing to say the less (I wanted to use one photo to illustrate this post, then decided against it). But they stand witness to the horror of war in general and atom bombs in particular.

Cats from Aube Nature

Yves Roumazeilles — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 17:38:30 +0000

Aube-Nature.com is a web site I tend to track nearly continuously because Cédric Girard tends to write interesting posts about nature photography. But I also caught a few posts with nice images of cats This goes farther than the usual “nice companion” photos.

I recommend heartily to check regularly Aube-Nature.com.

Platon portraits

Yves Roumazeilles — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 20:22:58 +0000

A photographer must love his models to make the best possible portraits and to serve completely the models. This is all the more obvious when it comes to photographing celebrities and famous people.

Platon does a great job for this.
