For a long time I would like to talk to you about a fabulous French artist, Agatha Ukeo, my friend, from my age group but as young as my grandchildren, because her creative mind is airy, colorful, and untimely. She invents characters that seem naïf but they aren't, that resemble comics but they aren't, that resemble fantastic realism and they are. They talk to us, meet the mythology of our dreams, fantasies, and fears. Fill us with pleasure and make us feel the irony and joy of living.…

I have two open accounts on social networks, Facebook and Ipernity, and I'm the administrator of a poetry website, "Livro Único". Today I woke up under the fear of uncertainty of what will happen to them after my death. I suddenly remembered that I always have the possibility to cancel them before I die. But when? What if a I have a sudden death? Another possibility is to bequeath them to someone who, even without updates, keep them online. Yet another is the social networks directors t…

Ich bin hier, um mich fotografisch fortzuentwickeln und schöne Bilder besserer Fotografen zu sehen, die mir Inspiration geben können. Ich bin überhaupt nicht beleidigt, sondern ich freue mich über konstruktive Hinweise und Diskussionen zur Verbesserung meiner Bilder. Soweit ich einmal mit einem Ratschlag helfen soll, tue ich es natürlich auch gerne. Mein fotografischer Werdegang: Ich habe nach längerer analoger Kleinbildzeit im Jahr 2001 mit einer Olympus Camedia SLR mit 1,5 MP auch…

Ils travaillent entre 3000 et 5300 mètres d’altitude. Mal équipés et mal payés, au péril de leur vie, les ouvriers des Travaux publics indiens, sous le contrôle de l’armée, ont pour mission de maintenir ouverte la seule route sécurisée qui mène au Ladakh. Un axe vital emprunté six mois par an par des milliers de chauffeurs routiers. Des trompe-la mort, sans lesquels aucune activité économique ne serait possible dans cet État du nord de l’Inde. Une région par ailleurs hautement stratégique, coincée entre la Chine et le Pakistan. Pays avec lesquels l’Inde a toujours entretenu des relations conflictuelles. * Article rédigé en 2013

Dear club members, dear friends, In 2017, when I was asked by William Sutherland and Lutz Petersen to help save ipernity from shipwreck, I had just turned 65. I felt too young and energetic for a tranquil retirement. So I went for it, knowing well that it would be a challenging venture full of uncertainties because no one on the founding team was a qualified IT professional. But volunteering for a worthwhile non-profit project appealed to me, and as a passionate mountaineer I was used to hand…

The body knows its requirements if the mind rapes it gets sick or suffers falls asleep or dies and the confused soul gets lost. O corpo sabe o que precisa se o pensamento o viola fica doente ou sofre adormece ou morre e a alma confusa perde-se. by Armando TABORDA, in "PALAVRAS QUE AS MARÉS APAGAM", Edição Escola de Mar, 2014 (post 1st edition, 2012; 2nd edition, 2017; 3rd edition, 2019; 4th edition, 2021 )

Wer die eklige, zynische, spaltende und rechten Verschwörungstheoretikern und Coronaleugnern in die Hand spielende Pseudosatirekunstaktion von etwa 50 selbstverliebten sogenannten Schauspielern verfolgte und diese genauso kontraproduktiv, sinnlos und abstoßend empfindet wie ich, für den sind hier die 50 Darsteller aufgelistet, die ich in Zukunft in Film und Fernsehen meiden werde. Mit Ausnahme von Heike Makatsch, die ihr Video zurückgezogen und sich entschuldigt hat. Und ein Lob (wieder mal) auf…

Reading Kim MOORE is like being surprised by a glass of fresh water when one is thirsty. Her book "IF WE COULD SPEAK LIKE WOLVES" was chosen as a Book of the Year 2012 in The Independent but I don't care of prizes and nominations. What is important is the writing and the correspondent associated images coming out of her precious creative power, which grows up around the small things of daily life "and the vacuum cleaner flew down the stairs like a song" or "as the dark folds itself over the…
