I'm a photography lover! I love photography, take photos, carrying my camera around and take 'stupid' photos. But I hate to edit them, most of my 'hate' is because I'm not very good in it, so whenever I have a chance I learn a little bit more about photo edition...

Yes I love to learn and study... and learn about people too. I guess thats why I love to travel so much!

Well today, will present you Alex, a twenty something years old girl, passionate about photography, marketing and short life stories (not my words I guarantee). She loves to talk to strangers, listen to them and she also tell in her blog nine out of ten times she asked strangers to tell her, life short stories.
I may say, its not my thing to talk to strangers but its my thing to discover life stories (normally biographies)...
We can mix all this in this mixing bowl with Photoshop and photo edition and we get Alex website, where she speaks about all of this 'elements'. Its really interessing.
And she also present us with a few photo edit and Photoshop tutorial.

I leave you with a 'short story' of her photos.

Last saturday I decided to attend to a workshop of photography, that I was thinking for almost 3 months... and for some reason I was always delaying it. I can't say it was a total waste of my time and money, no. I did learn a few things, but some how I kept thinking I could learn more...
One think that was really annoying  was the fact the trainer kept saying I didn't had the right posture to take a snap and I should be in this triangule body position and he also said this is like 'tai chi'... I really don't think that would make me became a better photographer.

But nevertheless I did learn to use my camera and to not let be overtaken by the light, basically I learn that I can control the light and it was a big step for me. Along with the fact that I now have new knowledge of my camera in manual mode.

Here it is a few photos taken during this workshop.

Hope you enjoy it!

This I-PAD new ad will blow your mind completely!

The new and fresh ad of Canon was created by Dentsu London, an design and criativity studio based in London, that also made the I-Pad Ligth-painting.
I was amazed by this work in several ways. All details of colours study, sound, chemical propertys of ink, etc.

But I think the best its to get inside of the artits 'brains' and finding out how they get inspired and how they design the ad.

Well, in my research and discovering - which I always like to share it - I found another criative group, this time from Russia, but they like to play with light! And what a nice play!
I must say that, lately russians have been surprising me often, in a good way... Even not a long time, I found a russian firm who developed a game, with very beautiful illustrations, about robots, which they gain several international awards with it! Oh the soundtrack is also very good and appropiate for the game.

I played the demo and I found myself wanting the full game. But, for now it's only available an online version and in this case I agree it could be a real asset if there was an physical version with booklet and a few extras! I would buy it and I also know a few persons that would buy it too.
It my sugestion and congratulations!

The game 'Machinarium'... http://machinarium.net/demo/

Days ago I found this website/blog about photography and what I found curious about it, was the owner of it, is humble enough to say he have a lot to learn yet. I really enjoy that!
I myself am in love with photography and I know I don't have a natural talent to take pictures. Well, I try, I read about it, search, but with my lack of time, I never gone deeper about it. To tell the true I prefere photorealism... from softwares like Rhino ou 3D Studio Max.
Anyway, I feel that I should promote this nice website to all of you who may be interessed, such as photography or even just to read (nice articles too), etc... Take a look.

Lighting effects it's something that I enjoy and, in my opinion never disappoint.
When issue is a music video with excellent lighting effects and body moviments, the final effect is always, but always overcome and add something to music and video itself. This add can be positive or negative, it's true!
Without wanting minimize music of course, but an good image power really can surprise us.
Body moviment and visual sensitivity that particular image gives us an image of human body wit all weekness and power, but also take us all certainties and provide us with clearance picture that we are just pawns in this world. Photography, ligths and shadows, neutral  and dark colours also have a quote in this effect.
I can't find a better way or words to describe what I feel and think when I see, for example, this video from These New Puritans, which beside having a great musical force also can match their videos to their music.




Another video where this relationship between music/video/body moviment/light is well related, in my modest opinion is this video from Junior Boys with 'Bits and Pieces'. Three black persons with body paintings that reacts to dark light! Dance and random moviments just to high ligths light itself and their effects, almost psicadelic effects which once again add something positive to music.
