Vimeo Awards

Take a look at the winners of the Vimeo Awards! Among them is The Bottle by Kirsten Lepore who won the Community Choice award for best animation. It's a wonderful stop-motion about overseas correspondence. Watch it in full-screen, HD, Vimeo quality.

I had the pleasure of seeing Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan last night. They were accompanied by guitar and contrabass, no drums, but that made their voices stand out even more. So breath-takingly beautiful!

You Won't Let Me Down Again (Hawk, 2010)

Gallerista

by Piermario on Flickr

One of my favourite pastimes is browsing photos on Flickr while listening to music and when I see an image that I particularly like, I make it a "favourite". My collection of faves is always growing and from time to time I display some of them under certain themes in "Galleries" on Flickr. Please take a look if you have a minute, there are so many talented photographers out there and it's very inspiring to be able to share one and other's work!


Welcome to my galleries!

Among trees - a gallery curated by... me!

I've been wanting to showcase my favourite photos by other people on Flickr so I had to try out the new Galleries function. Flickr has limited the amount of photos in a gallery to 18, making it very difficult to choose! But with a specific theme in mind I decided to go with the initial feeling that an image evoked in me, which in some cases is mixed and hard to put your finger on. That's what I love about photography; a picture can say more than a thousand words. I've found a creative outlet for my thoughts and feelings and the opportunity to get a glimpse into other people's worlds, both real and imaginary. There are so many talented, creative, kind souls who inspire and encourage and who have helped me develop tremendously since i started my Flickr. I think I've explored every possible setting on my little digital camera and so I'm looking into getting a more advanced camera which I'm of course very excited about! It will probably be a more powerful digital but given my love for film (as you can see from my favourites) I might get an analog... too. If anyone with an interest in photography happens to read this, which DSLR is best value? Which is your favourite analog camera?
