Gamer : who is playing me ?
Here is a self portrait inspired from a movie called "Gamer".
Once in London I had a look through different photography magazines. One with an interesting tutorial caught my attention : "Photoshop User". I realised later than the tutorial was how to make a movie poster.
Strobist : my camera was on a tripod fitted with a flash trasmitter (ST-E2) and a wireless remote control. On a second tripod, placed at 10' O clock, was fitted the flash (580 EX) used bared in manual mode powered down to about 1/64.
I stood in a front of a black poster, holding in my hand a remote control and a mirror. I used the mirror to have a quick look to myself but also to redirect light on the dark side.
Then I followed the tutorial from "Photoshop User". Voila.

C'est un self portrait inspiré par un affiche de cinéma du film "Gamer" - en francais ?. J'ai également bénéficié d'un tutorial paru dans une revue américaine.
Mon appareil etait placé sur un trépied ; un flash positionné a 10 heures a ete declenché a distance a l'aide d#un ST-E2. Le flash etait utilisé en mode manuel. Je mue suis une feuille de papier noir en tenant dans ma main une télécommande et un miroir utilisé comme réflecteur. J'ai ensuite suivi les instructions du magasine. Voila.

Berlin : disorientation
Berlin : archive 2003.
It's the last photo of Berlin I'm going to upload. You can see the House of World Cultures a modern centre for contemporary arts.
On a personal note, I'm surprised that my album doesn't contain any photos of the Reichstag. I remember I took photos but what happened to the film or the photos ???

An iconic Trabant in Berlin
Archive 2003.
When I visited Berlin in 2003, 14 years ofter the fall of the Wall, it was already difficult to see Trabant in the streets. I was happy when I finally saw one.
It was interesting to read on wikipedia that the Trabant was the first car with a body made from recycled material due to a lack of steel. It was more expoensive to buy a second hand car than a new one : why ? because the usual waiting time was about 15 years !

Une Trabant, photographiée dans les rues de Berlin en 2003. Cette voiture mythique et symbolique de l'allemagne de l'Est a rapidement disparu des rues de Berlin et ce des 1990.
Apparement il coutait plus cher d'en acheter une d'occasion qu'une neuve : les delais de livraison avoisinaient entre 10 et 15 ans ! C'est aussi la premiere voiture avec une carroserie faite a partir de materiau recyclé faute d'un manque d'acier !

Berlin : Brandenburg gate
Archive : Berlin 2003.
If you want to see stunning photos dating from the fall of the Berlin Wall and its 20th aniversary, you can have a look to the Big Picture from the Boston Globe. The photos are always stumming, much better than I can do.
