the ART of trailer trash

This was from Oct 2011
Today the FAFF promos and trailer's that were shot down at the Docklands are being released, well they were uploaded last night. First out of the blocks is Takako preparing for takeoff!, Lady Dragonfly.
This was stop motion shot by James H using slow shutter speeds.

This was the third outing for James and I on our stop-mo Journey and I know we have covered some great ground. This piece was a series of shutter speed and head movement variations and involves Takako and Vi. It is an adaption on the last one. Some of the moves work beautifully and some are a bit suspect but overall it's a good effect.

People Who Make Me Smile #2

Now I know it's not cool no more! But again this entry is a photography thing, this time it's linked with a fad that came and went with the ferocity of a storm (casualties included). I'm talking planking, the buffoon sport that suited Australia's knock about, larikin sensibilities to a tee. Read into that, what you like.
But specifically it's about a duet from Taiwan who have taken the game of lying down to the next level, playing it with consummate passion but what separates them out and makes me smile is the attention to the photography. Shots are very beautiful, well composed, exposed, focused etc etc even without the planking element.

The Pujie Girls

"Pujie Girls literally translates to “falling on the street” in Mandarin, the name is also a pun on the Cantonese curse “Puk Gai” which means “may you drop dead”.
