Scribbling in smoke

In a field where pre-planning is very important, sometimes, to free my mind, I like to take a pencil and scribble on paper, without raising it for a few moments from the page, and then with as little lines possible, to get out of the chaos a subject that will make sense.

As many in the visual field, I have a library of photographs I shoot, to use them as backgrounds or effects. While looking through some of my smoke images, I noticed a lot of scribbles there to work with.

I use free association doing that, and I find it to be very rewarding.

The allusive porcelain hare


This porcelain hare was shot in its natural environment, porcelain hares are a very timid animal, especially scared of curious little hands with slippery fingers.

Shooting shiny objects is always a challenge and that’s one of the reasons I like doing it.

Hey Charlie McCarthy, Put on a happy face

Charlie Mccarthy dummy

As a little boy, there were many things I thought I wanted to be, at least for a while. One thing I was playing with was ventriloquism, people who “throw their voice”, the concept intrigued me, I wanted to be able to do that too. I wanted a dummy too, I didn’t get one, and that’s a good thing.

The type the ventriloquist dummy in the image above is called Charlie McCarthy, and I’m happy I had the opportunity to shoot it.

Abandoned

MachanicAL

This mechanical toy was originally dressed and could crawl, not anymore. It looks to me as if it’s trying to reach out, sadly enough it doesn’t look like something you’d want to hold, that sense is what I went after.
