For the 100th birthday anniversary of the photographer Google made a doodle in it’s search bar page to celebrate he’s work.

Enjoy,

Inspiration knocks at our doors in different ways, forms,muses and ideas. At the same time we can trigger creativity by working hard,connecting dots in your brain about different experiences and working the muscles of your mind by having new experiences but you can not do the same with inspiration.

As a person that is always looking new ways to get inspired and creative sometimes you most wonder where do a certain idea came from and what was the source that generated it. The collective incontinence, all the previous works done before yours ,that you have already inhaled play an important part and sometimes they get stamped in your mind ,without you noticing it. So the real challenge when doing art is to take all those ideas that rumble your mind and that have a previous existence ; is to grab them close to you and start a new personal approach and journey that can have a micro or macro scale , and convert them into new worlds and give life to a new piece.

But what happens when you think you had a great idea and turns out you didn’t and it was just plagiarism? Until what point inspiration becomes pure steal? What if you never realize that happened? Sometimes concepts gets framed in your head and then you spit a new work and it turns out it wasn’t yours, that have already been done. Also there is a chance that global tendencies,developments and events of the world generate very similar new concepts in different locations but publication and work procedure can prove the authenticity of the work.

Next is presented the work of two different American photographers who did very alike work.One is Jenny Woods a.k.a Bunny Jenny, a 19 year old girl from Florida who is autodidact and have been publicly working on her craft since she was 16 ,and have became a sensation over flickr where you can observe the early beginnings of her mature work until the most recently improved one. And the other is Tyler Shields a famous photographer who also does video portraits of celebrities of the entertainment industry and that have gain popularity through it.

The Bunny Jenny’s photos showed are the solo work of Woods in her room and a year later her boss at her Local Newspaper made the video presented next from the original photography and idea that Jenny did before. Posing herself as the model in both concepts.

In shields work you can see actress Dianna Agron as the model.

Enjoy,

P.S: An artist shouldn’t be entirely judge just by one piece.

Dialed: The Whistler Bike Park from Leo Zuckerman on Vimeo.

New Talents on the Digital Era

Vimeo is an excellent platform to discover new talents, and for me that is what internet is all about. In there i bumped into Leo Zuckerman´s videos. Besides positively impressed me for the craft of this series of two videos of biking , it left me with a delicious taste in my brains and eyes because i could see the evolution of this young film maker who has been improving work afer work. And it helps you to understand that digital era have awaken or made possible this brand new pack of talent. Also if you are interested in filmography and photography this sort of videos are great help, because you can learn with the executor.

Learn and Enjoy,

I recommend this service to you since they have done a good improvement in their user interface and filters, plus it is free.

I know it has been a while since i posted something with my words here on tumblr. I think i have the writers block . I don’t know why.Also i didn’t want to live the blog unattained.

As almost everything in this space is about something that makes me think a bit deeper with a combination of barfed personal thoughts.That is why i decided to post something that was hidden in my Drafts.

Without even noticing this post is about finding inspiration. The next video certainly inspires me.It is a well told story of a little dog in the streets of Oxford and the story is told from it’s point of view. The photography is stunning,vibrant and it is a very well achieved stop motion photo work.

The conclusion that i can tell you about this story is that this is the kind of work i aspire to do someday. Not copying someone else but doing my own interpretation of something ,with new techniques or perfect old ones.The only thing I’m sure now is what i don’t want as almost everything in life.I think that is what separate normal people like me from geniuses, they know what they want and i don’t.Steel figuring in it out and will keep doing it for the rest of my life .

So get inspired and Enjoy,

Nowhere Near Here from Pahnl on Vimeo.

Power Pig is a Flickr based photographer who have become famous for it’s work with toys ; he brings them alive by recreating an action scene with his Lego props.But what have been fascinating people over the photography community is the addition to his work of chipmunks, who appear to interact with the objects. Here is a little example of how the magic is done.
