Igby Goes Down - 2002

It always mystified me — the moments in movies where you see people fallen asleep, particularly on the road, while traveling somewhere or leaving some place. It occurred to me that such scenes are usually connected to key moments or turn points in the story. They appear either before something important is about to happen, or just after. Like the silence before and after a Storm.

I’ve captured these shots out of selected list of movies, old and recent, to show just how beautiful and magical sleep on the road usually looks in Cinema.

A self portrait of Stanley Kubrick with his daughter, Jack Nicholson and the crew @ the set of The Shining.

A selection of some of the most awesome Behind-the-scenes shots I’ve seen from some famous movies. Back when set designs were huge and hand made, when special effects where mechanical and photographic and film stars were risking their lives on the set.

President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, along with members of the national security team, receive an update on the mission against Osama bin Laden in the Situation Room of the White House, May 1, 2011. Photo by Pete Souza.

I just love this photo. This caption you see above is the original caption provided by the White House for this photo (One out of 8 images revealed by the White House). My opinion is that it doesn’t do this fascinating scene much justice. Notice the scrambled/pixelated print on the laptop. Click on the photo to see it bigger.

The Visionair publication has always been known for its playful and luxurious translation of current fashion and art industry. But for their holidays 55th issue they went a quirky step further with a package of 11 “surprises” intricate pop-up albums by 11 renowned photographers and image makers such as Sophie Calle, Andreas Gursky, Mario Testino, Steven Klein, Yayoi Kusama and more. It’s a funny and amusing idea, and if someone can manage to poke fun at the industry and do it with flair, surely the people at Visionair can.
Probably many will find this creation a silly joke, as did I, but these days smiles on my face are in very short supply and are most definitely welcome!

You can follow this project and learn more on their website:
www.the-impossible-project.com

quoted from the website:

“Impossible b.v. has been founded with the concrete aim to re-invent and re-start production of analog INTEGRAL FILM for vintage Polaroid cameras. Therefore Impossible b.v. has acquired the complete film production equipment in Enschede (NL) from Polaroid, has signed a 10-year lease agreement on the factory building; and has engaged the most experienced team of Integral Film experts worldwide.

The Impossible mission is NOT to re-build Polaroid Integral film but (with the help of strategic partners) to develop a new product with new characteristics, consisting of new optimised components, produced with a streamlined modern setup. An innovative and fresh analog material, sold under a new brand name that perfectly will match the global re-positioning of Integral Films.”

seems like good news to all pola-lovers!
