Guardiola is the man

That Kid on the left, looking up at Terry Venables, was just that, a kid...
He went every Sunday to Barcelona stadium to see his idols, to clean their bots,
to carry their bags, to learn their game.

Eventually he played with the first team


and he won the first Champions League for Barcelona in 1992


Now he is the boss, the manager...

and he has won the third Champions League for Barcelona
GUARDIOLA is the MAN!

Alcove








I found those pictures on a Russian site (I think is Russian) http://2photo.ru/2008/09/24/fotograf_pod_nikom_alcove.html
I like them very much. They use a photoshop technique call HDR (High dynamic range)that produces those effects, half photos, half paintings, half illustration... I would like to know what is that website about, any one speaks Russian? Madenaaaaa!

Night shoot


Martin has been working in a personal project, shooting at night (with a little help from his friends). Those are the results of his first 2 experiments. He used different cameras, lens, format and techniques. It is surprising that the picture on the left, more dreamy and dark, was shot with a digital camera and the one on the right, more bright and realistic was shot using film, medium format. We often blame digital for been too realistic, too sharp and we blame film for been too grainy, too dark. Somehow Martin managed to acquire the opposite effect with this 2 formats. Knowing Martin, he will be going back to this spot a few times until he gets exactly what he has in his imagination, until his pictures transmit without doubts (in his mind) what he wants.
For me, to follow his experiment is a journey to a memory of blurred, sexual, dark forms and the reality of sharp, bright, impossible landscapes. We'll be watching.

Vicky...

Vicky Cristina Barcelona
Penelope Cruz can get an Oscar tonight, she plays a neurotic Spanish artist in the latest Woody Allen movie. Playing this role was not a big challenge for Penelope, Spain is full of neurotic people and crazy artists and she grew up there (so did I).So I don't think she deserves the Oscar, unless we judge her for her looks, if so, she deserves 3 Oscars. The Movie:
Woody Allen with 3 of the most sexy actors, a good script and a great background (Barcelona) managed to ruin this movie, by using an horrific voice over that destroys the basics of any movie, one guitar song that seems to be the same during the 96 minutes and worse of all a bad structure of the film, taking nearly half of the movie to introduce the irrelevant characters, and rushing trough the interesting ones, without giving us the chance to get to know them.
Watch it without the voice over or "watch it" without the visuals.

Jamon, Jamon (1992). Want to see a hilarious but serious satirical film that mixes and makes superior use of eroticism, surrealism, gross out scenes, and a fantastic music score ? Look no further than these 90 minutes. A Tale of Ham and Passion. This is the one to watch with Penelope Cruz and Bardem and directed by Bigas Luna.

2am update
Well... she did, she won the oscar for the best
Actress in a Supporting Role, which shows: what do I know about films or that they owe her two more oscars for her looks.
