THROUGH THE GREEN DOOR, BY MARC MCANDREWS The bikers were out front of their rooms as well, a few doors down from mine. At first it was just two of them, like a couple of off-color raccoons, their faces a patchwork of sunburn and bright-white, bare-skinned eye sockets, acquired by riding through the desert all day with sunglasses on. APPARITIONS, PHOTOGRAPHY BY GÉRARD CASTELLO-LOPES Gérard Castello-Lopes was a passionate autonomous diver. From the Ocean to the sea, the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, where he learned how to dive (Cannes) or near Lisbon, where he lost his friend and diver colleague Philippe Cousteau. CAMILA, BY VERONIKA MARQUEZ Walking through dangerous worlds is like walking through the jungle without so many masks; everything is more humane, revealing the true nature of our existence. Camila had to learn as she went along how to deal with all sorts of people, with danger and adventure. LIGHT PAINTING: THE ART OF MOVING LIGHT, BY PATRICK ROCHON Text and photographs by Patrick Rochon.. I started doing Light Painting photography in Montreal, Canada in 1992. I also used to do “traditional” photography but in 1997, flying to Tokyo from New York, I realized I would dedicated all my time to this art, I officially declared myself a Light Painter and never looked back at traditional photography. AMMONIA IN CYANOTYPE TONINGS Ammonia in cyanotype tonings. Writer Gudrum Mebs portrait. Completely bleached cyanotype in ammonia and slightly tanned with coffee. Dimension: 17x25cm. The majority of cyanotype tonings use two baths: a tanning agent as tea, coffee or, obviously, the tannic acid itself and an alkali, usually sodium carbonate. BASICITY AND COLOR OF CYANOTYPE Near Gare de Lyon. Cianotype 6x6cm on Schoeller Durex 17x17cm paper. Some weeks ago, talking with famous French palladium printer Jean Claude Mougin, we started discussing about cyanotype print hue. In that occasion, he said that when cyanotype tends to violet is because paper is probably basic and could contain a buffer of carbonates.

She was one of the six models we hired for a fashion shoot in London. I hired her as ‘the blonde’ of the group. She was the first of the set to be confirmed. THINGS, WINDS AND THE EMPTINESS WITHOUT A VOID Form is emptiness; emptiness is form (Buddhism) One of the things that I found curious on this exhibition apart from the impact of Jungjin’s works was the differentness – almost opposite – feeling between the Things and the Winds, placed in 2 different floors, being the Things on the ground level, more exposed to natural light and the Winds in the basement, a more introspected room ON PARTICIPATORY ENGAGEMENT, BY CARLOS CAZALIS On participatory engagement, by Carlos Cazalis.
