Frances Mayes on ColleteSeptember 06, 2010
One of this life’s greatest pleasures: a writer’s books can intersect with your life and lead you to the next largest space you can occupy.
Frances Mayes, writing of Collete in Ä Year in the World.
Jeremy Rifkin on “the empathic civilization” - via Ted TalksSeptember 02, 2010
I do believe this lecture might be one of the most important ideas I’ve ever heard. I recommend you stopping with a few minutes, to watch it and just see what you think. Yesterday we carried one of our couches out into the backyard, between showers, and I worked at photographing my favourite family here in the flatlands of Belgium. It occured to me later that, had we filmed yesterday then played back a sped-up version of the photo-session ... couch carried out, couch carried in before the rain returned, moving rooms for different background colours and effects, life unfolding and me attempting to photograph the children as they continued with living life…
I was working through the images tonight and I’m pleased with the morning’s work ... It wasn’t just about the photography. Gert and I had cooked up a small storm in the morning and so it was that 10 of us sat down to persian chicken and basmati rice, followed by pavlova, and one of Gert’s declious nectarine clafoutis. I fell during the photography session and even I had to laugh. I fell heavily, camera in hand, in the…
Talent is what they say Work is what you have done Genius is what they know you We came to the end of a really fun family photo-shoot and this little man, he’d had enough. He was leaving, with his bear ... And I asked her to stand still a moment. She was in a hurry but I was allowed these 2 ... I thought about doing a Craigslist advert for a hero on this next one but stuck to the facts in the end ... Still having fun playing with the Polaroid Generator action. I believe this is because I have much to do in the next few hours. Hmmm, perhaps I shall re-christen mine the Polaroid Procrastinator. Photographing a family, working to capture something of who they really are, always delights me ... This photography session was no different. Be thankful. Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. The August Break photo group, organised by Susannah Conway, introduced me to the work of Lemontines 365, among others. That was a delight in itself but Lemontines, in turn, introduced me to the photoshop action that created the polaroid look-alike below. It’s a faux Polaroid action, a Polaroid Generator and it’s free download, although donations are welcome, over at Deviant Art. I had quite some fun playing…
Susannah Conway has done, and continues to do, some remarkable things. To put it simply, she’s inspirational. Her latest idea involves more than 300+ people ... so far. You are welcome to join in on her August Break project. I began today, 4 days into August, with this photograph taken a few days ago in Gent, Belgium. And don’t forget, my new website is up over at…
Just in, at midnight, from the most delicious BBQ in Brussels. We were hosted by Simon and Paola, and not only did we get to experience the most delicious of foods and wine, we were also subject to the divine sound of the Irish. I found myself in a corner with two of the loveliest Irish women I’ve ever met. Deirdre’s mother and I shared a bottle of red ... or two, and many a story…
There is an element of the hunt in people photography. It’s mostly unconscious but it’s a processs of seeking those moments that feel authentic to the person you are attempting to capture. The pause in the conversation when they look away, thought-filled for a moment, the head thrown back laughing, a relaxing into the moment, an acceptance of me and my camera ... I was given 5 minutes to photograph these two after their hair-cutting session in the city last night. Family are the only ones who won’t give me the time I like when doing people photography ... none of them. Saturday found me sitting amongst some truly delightful people, listening as their Croatian conversation flowed around me, stopping whenever somebody new arrived, as they switched to English or Nederlands or whatever was going linguistically ... but that is life here in Antwerp, more than 175 nationalities spilling over in this deliciously ancient Flemish city. I was introduced to the guys who own and run Our House, a new restaurant here in the city. As the name…
It was one of those days where I realised again that photography is my raison d’être ... absolutely. Okay, wandering and meeting new people comes a close second. This little feet moment happened while I was at work photographing yet another lovely lovely family. An excellent day. Each day, I try to find my way into a space where the real world simply slips away some ... a space where I work on projects, uninterupted, and have some kind of continuity in what I’m doing Oftentimes, lately, it has been almost impossible to fit my work in around noisy, grouchy, amusing, delightful, delicious children and babysitting, and then there’s the life of the house and its daily needs. In our previous apartment, my desk was the mission-control…
I was sitting here, in the quiet that is close to midnight, and lit a beeswax candle ... summoning up happy memories from childhood. And I was working as the smoke curled around me, working on photographs from Genova and realising, again, that life goes on without me in all those places I’ve lived in or loved. Here’s a scene that delighted me in Piazza De Ferrari one night ... I took a series of shots as this man worked…
Stolen, as a documentary moment, I captured this delightful Miss Two with her daddy, who she loves So Much ... Nothing more needs to be said ... just ‘my girl, having fun at the bbq last night’. It was an evening that began with Prosecca out in the garden, grazie to Paola and Simon (and to Maddalena, for persisting in insisting that I try it) , and ended with Mr Toad gate-crashing the party at 2am .... it was an excellent night. The Prosecca was followed by a lovely champagne from Etienne Doné, dank u wel to Stephanie and Patrick. Jurjana arrived with some Rosé wines and a delicious Russian Salad, hand-chopped in a 2 hour cooking…
In an exercise of hilarity, I decided to photograph the new hair ... ehemm, colour. Streaked, enhancing what was there (okay, and coaxing a few greys into a new colour) but have you EVER tried to photograph yourself while keeping both eyes open? I do believe I might be holding my breath in this image. And was kind of propped up against the bathroom wall ... to take care of focusing issues, blah blah etc. Okay, so no one…
Kay is a fellow Dunedin dweller, with roots that run deep in Southland, New Zealand and I adore her poetry. She’s a woman high on my list of people I want to spend some time talking with, when I finally return to New Zealand. Anyway, I’ve been following her story for a while now, and had the pleasure of interviewing her over here, despite the fact that I often rock up to read her…
This guy strolled by and I couldn’t resist turning round and taking this photograph, one of a series ... I have another plan, one that will release me to fly high again ... and that’s probably all you need to know for now. It has been a deeply frustrating year in so many ways but things are slowly turning a corner. Here’s to me having all kinds of news, and soon. Anyway, I was going through photographs, on a mission, when I discovered these winter photographs taken while out wandering with Clare ... my favourite Australian in the world. I was recently contacted by Cheryl Ward, an Australian producer and director, about the possibility of using one of my photographs in a small theatre project - Through These Lines. She is writing, directing and producing a play to be performed in old the defense tunnels at Headland Park, on the edge of Sydney Harbour . It’s a play based on the diaries and letters of Australian nurses serving during WWI and seems more than worth…
I had the camera at Miss Five’s kindergarten graduation and afterwards, during wine, cheese and play, I couldn’t resist documenting the event. And I wasn’t quite ready when this little one ran up and hugged her dad’s leg while he chatted but the love is there ... it’s surely there. When I work on a family portrait, I invite the family to just be themselves. When they are ... that’s when the magic happens. I love when images like this appear in front of me in the midst of a huge pile of post-processing ... Father and son, caught in a moment ... Modesty forbids that a girl from smalltown New Zealand speak highly of herself. We leave our childhoods, more often than not, having had humbleness and modesty and all those other conventions hammered into our very souls. And so ... one becomes a photographer and hopes that marketing herself and her work is something she can just kind of ignore ... that people will find her, hire her, based on ... well, what? So I have 2 tours to market, I…
So what is photography? It’s less talk, more making photographs. Do that, and do it hard. And then tomorrow, do it again. And as long as you love doing that more than something else, you’ll have filled your days and fed your soul with something you love. And to do that, by almost any sane definition, is to have succeeded. But wait, there’s more! I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed. Borrowed from the truly brilliant Launch Coach, as I laugh, a little self-consciously, while reading through one of his workshops.
What would I post of this blog and what would I leave out ... so I posted it all. Seth Godin’s blogs are a constant sources of inspiration and advice but this one was timely ... my argument is within. What are you, what do you want to be? When you’re being your best self at your job,…
Or that’s what he seems to be saying to me ... 1am, time to close-down the whole post-processing part of my mind for the night. So much to do, I need to create a few 48 hour days and stop doing a little of each thing that I love. Off to an Arabian Horse Show in July. My camera and I are rather excited. A moment of reflection during a graduation ceremony ... Despite all outside, best hopes, the one in pursuit of a passion has always been armored against all advice, good or bad. Strangely, this self-determined wish to create one’s own world, real or not, seems to be absolutely necessary. I’ve been wanting this book forever ... David Whyte, The Three Marriages. Christine Mason Miller, inspirational artist and traveler, reminded me about it tonight in…
I cannot begin to tell you how incredibly kind and thoughtful and generous my friends are ... I shall give you an example instead. Today I received an sms offering me a return ticket to London, if said delicious friend couldn’t go. Uffff ... I had to say no. The next couple of days are jam-packed and I’m baby-sitting Little Miss 5 for a couple of weeks, and she’s graduating from Kindy tomorrow, so me and my camera need to…
Sometimes, the children check out the photographer from a place of safety. I enjoy people photography most of all ... You can see why. What’s not to love ... I had the pleasure of entertaining this little man, his mum, dad and 2 sisters this afternoon. I love documentary photography, for sure ... but there’s something quite magical about photographing a family. I photographed the most beautiful family yesterday. Here’s one of my favourite shots. More to follow. Persian chicken on the stove, Simon, Paola and kids on the way ... house clean. I hope your Saturday is shaping up well or was good. I realised today, that some of my favourite photographs were captured in moments of chaos but there’s no sign of that chaos, or the impulse that led me to swing round and capture it ... Looking at this photograph of the kindergarten teacher, so tranquil in the midst of an end of year party, and yet it seems impossible when I…
I’m meeting a potential client to talk about their wedding and needed to organise some previous work ... I had forgotten this boy with the beautiful eyes. Inside the house, I have my books, my collections of religious folk art, ceramic platters, old linens, and, by now, boxes of manuscripts in innumerable, crossed-out, under-lined, scrawled drafts. My rooms are fingerprints. My husband’s wild study, where a painting of Dante looks down on the poetry-strewn, chaotic desk; our bedroom with the romantic iron bed draped in white linen; the kitchen where all my pottery hangs on white walls; the house’s original bathroom with the hip tub; the dining…
And how did I forget to read Anil? His post delighted me ... The Flight of Varanasi’s Wooden Birds And this music ... by Brian Eno, from Nanni Moretti’s movie, ‘The Son’s Room’. I love this kind of photography ... this soul visit with whoever it is that you are photographing at any given moment. Miss 5 had her end of year party at Kindy today. I photographed her mum. So maybe I should get a nine to five There was me, the New Zealander with dual citizenship feeling the Belgian part of my identity, watching Tom Dice, my favourite new singer, competing in Eurovision 2010. I ended up watching the show by accident ... only to find myself…
anyone who listens long enough will write again. huge thanks go to leonie wise, godess and poet (whose book i haven’t managed to buy yet) meanwhile, here i am giggling over a conversation i believe i had with a slightly drunk kiwi friend, after being woken from a deep…
Maya Stein writes the most exquisite poetry ... I interviewed her, way back when ... and discovered her to be as lovely as she seems on her blog. I noticed she has a kickstarter project going on. You might like to have a look and consider supporting her. An extract from her latest poem, peculiar and exceptional You do not have to believe in yourself or your work. It is not your business to determine how good it is, how valuable it is, nor how it compares with other expressions. But it is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly to the urges that motivate you. There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, the expression…
I loved this short film on the life of a knife-sharpener in Rome. Thanks to Shelley, over at At Home in Rome.
I wrote of having ’ exciting news’ over here and then became caught up in living the news ... I’m sorry. I didn’t actually explain afterwards. We had had Kathleen come stay with us for a night the weekend before and that was delightful in itself. Afterwards we had accepted her invitation to come photograph her audition in a place near Viareggio and it was there, that we…
Never before have I been behind the scenes of that operatic world but Kathleen invited us to Viareggio to hear and photograph her audition ... A 2.5 hour train ride along the Ligurian coast, past Carrara ... with some of its fabulous marble stacked next to the railroad line. Returning, we had the surreal experience of sharing a 6-seat train cabin with 2 Catholic nuns, one of whom was reading aloud from a book in the…
Yesterday, Lut took me on one her magical journeys into heartland Belgium and, as always, she managed to stun me. My first thought, as we rounded the corner of a narrow cobble-stoned street in Sint Amands, was that Gaudi had been there. It turns out that this Gaudi was actually Joris Maes, sculptor and hand-crafter of extraordinarily beautiful buildings. Over time, Joris has created an exquisite studio called Sahara Art Stones, BelgiumMay 08, 2010
This is just one room inside the Sahara Art Stones Gallery ... Exquisite, don’t you think? And the staircase, gently twisting up to the next floor was, to me, as beautiful as any of the artworks. I’m odd perhaps but I enjoy the shape of things and often find stairs and spiral stairwells beautiful. Sitting upstairs, drinking fruit juice, talking with these two remarkable artists, I realised how lucky I am to know people…
On my desk, I have a small collection of stones from beaches and rivers around Europe, a painted stone from Africa, an exquisite compass box gifted by Veronica, a couple of beeswax candles, little tins ... stuff. I love handling stones, smelling the beeswax as it burns, opening my small compass treasure box to visit mum’s wedding ring. It almost kills Miss 5. She comes visiting my desk and Jessie laughs, explaining…
And outside, there are all kinds of little things ... creatures, shapes, fossils ... built into or framed by the building. I could have spent ages just photographing details. I did…
I hope to take you along via the blog. And then there is Shannon’s blog, full of her beautiful photography and quirky stories. Let’s see what there’s is time to report… there is the birthday party for sure. First time I looked into train fares, I found an 86euro fare and thought ... hmmm no, not possible. Christoph is the Chairman for VLD, Greater Antwerp and a district alderman. I had an excellent time putting together a series of portraits for him ... but it’s rare that I fall in love with ‘stuff’ and never (hardly ever) when I’m ‘between jobs’ however sometimes it happens ... I couldn’t resist the small piece of exquisiteness below. And sometimes, when I’m unable resist, I don the magic cloak of the ‘irresistible princess’ and voila, Gert is weakened at the knees and lets me have my heart’s desire ... specially if it is affordable. I mean, I don’t have the Mac Powerbook…
I love Kay’s poetry. I interviewed her here ... Time mocks me as it slides by turning memories only five years old into sentiment. Like how I miss certain people, now gone from this place with no chance any more of bumping into them down town. I look at myself in the mirror, afraid that what I see isn’t the real me, or alternatively, is…
Creative types have a problem. We have so many great ideas, but most of them never see the light of day. Why do most ideas never happen? The reason is that our own creative habits get in the way. For example, our tendency to generate new ideas often gets in the way of executing the ones we have. As a result, we abandon many projects halfway through. Whether a personal website, a new business idea or a long-dreamt novel, most…
I photographed this talented artist and gracious woman, Buthayna Ali, back in November 2009, in Berlin and wrote of her work. Only do it if it’s fun. If it’s not fun, make it fun. If you can’t make it fun, don’t do it. Extract from Best Business Advice I’ve Ever Received. A lot of what I have experienced out on Flanders Fields wouldn’t have been possible without this lovely Flemish bloke. These days he is putting together Westanglia - A 24 hour arts event/Free State in the deep south of the West-Flemish Hill Country. Close to France, Far from anywhere else. But we gonna put it on the map by offering you the best of young talent in music, art, movies,... that…
This man is one of the treasures out on Flanders Fields. 85 years old and I adore his tremendous love of life ... I love when my daughter comes on board with her photoshop talents. She created this polaroid template for me today and I’m so in love with it. I met some lovely people in Berlin, all kinds of people and some of them agreed to talk with me. Immanuel was one of those people. You can read of our conversation over here .... I was lucky enough to be gifted tickets to a Luka Bloom concert last night ... and you know what? My goodness, that man is a superb entertainer - there’s an excellent series of interviews at that same link. He had his ‘sold out’ Antwerpen audience in the palm of his hand and he took us through songs that talked of “powerful…
To be able to write, to process enough of your life or your thinking, to write ... it takes time. I realised, quite panicked, that I had lost an entire morning out reading the world. But is it lost when I find beautiful things that push me forward, on out into my world ... that difficult world I have chosen to exist in? The first I knew of Margaret Moth’s death was in an email from Veronica. Initially delighted to have news of Margaret, a CNN camerawoman - a New Zealander I had discovered when she was shot in the face by a sniper in Sarajevo back in 1992 - I was so very sad to realise that the most recent news was news of her death. But then I found these videos about her ... There is only the frame. That is our craft. Painting with light, in slivers of time, within the frame of our image. I’m reading a new photographic hero of mine ... David duChemin. His book, Within the Frame - the journey of photographic vision, is devourable in a mind-bending, exciting way. He is reminding me of why I take photographs. It can’t…
You can listen to FINE here, where they write: “Ceol” is the Gaelic word for music and melody and “Ceol Manawatu” can be best described as a collective of musicians performing original compositons from the Manawatu region, predominantly with a Scottish/Celtic influence. The underpinning constant is the various styles of bagpipes (mainly performed by champion…
To watch and photograph Ziya Azazi performing was one of the more stunning things I have done in my life ... I grew up with the words, ‘Diane, a little bit of you goes a long way’ ... and so it was that I tried to live more quietly, more thoughtfully, and tried so very hard not to be that ‘too much’ kind of girl. Another of the musicians playing for the Dansgroep Lange Wapper. I have been following the poetry of Maya Stein for a very long time, receiving her poems via the RSS feed, so often loving what I find there. And so, I asked if I might interview her. And she said yes. You can read what we talked of over in my interviews section and below, a Maya poem: immersion I have become slightly addicted to TED talks. I come and go on them but this time, I am devouring them, one after another when time allows ... it’s like time in the classroom for me or perhaps, food for my soul. Anyway, today, TED introduced me to the wonder that is Raghava KK (but visit his website after viewing his talk, not before. He’s on Twitter too.) And you really need to…
I wandered over to Brussels to chat with Jessica Hilltout, Belgian photographer and serious wanderer, curious to know more about the woman responsible for the beautiful images I had found on her website. I found this exquisite poem over on Leslie Avon Miller’s blog and went searching for more about poet, Tony Hoagland The Word. Down near the bottom between “green thread” Resting on the page, the word When your father is a viola player and a teacher at the Royal Academy in London, and your mother is a pianist, then there’s a very good chance that you will follow them into a world of music and this is precisely what Luke Turrell has done. However don’t for one moment imagine a shy retiring type or a driven genius who is slightly socially inept. Instead imagine one of the nicest out-going young Englishmen you could hope to meet. I have a new photo gallery up over in People ... and you can read all about him over in my Interview section. Paul Turner is a hugely talented musician and excellent kiwi bloke. More to follow, as I make plans to gift give-away one of his cds. I had the pleasure of photographing Carleen last year but to hear her sing and read the latest news about her, visit her page over on Harvey Nash Presents ....A Night at the Opera
