Scene of the Snap

Really interesting project about going back to the scene of an old photo, and snapping it into the present. People from all over are submitting. I've got a huge thing for moments and time-lines, so I'm obviously wetting myself over this. Been pouring through the blog all night. Not really, it's only 3 pages long so far. But anyway, these are some gems.

How Nice

Every once in a while I stumble across someone's photos which I really really enjoy. I get a warm, happy feeling scrolling through, and I can feel things connect and fall into place in my chest.

It's a good feeling.

These are some of Paul Hermes's snaps, and they make that feeling happen.

Jesse Marlow

Just stumbled into Jesse Marlow's street photography, and I'm in love.

His style reminds me a little of Matt Stuart. &That's a good thing.

Love his portraits. They're so clean and simple.

But they leave an impression, just the same.

A Meal and a Museum

Sunday afternoon we tried a new restaurant in the South of Antwerp; Patine. I really have to recommend it. The most amazing pumpkin soup I've ever tasted for 5 euro. It doesn't stop there! That amazing soup came with a basket of amazing, fluffy, freshly baked bread.

I couldn't help but spy around the place, taking peeks at the other dishes being passed around. Everything looked amazing.
They also had a case of gorgeous tartes and cakes, so even if you're not in the mood for a meal, stop by with a friend or book for coffee and cakes sometime.

After filling our bellies we strolled on over to Antwerp's Museum of Modern Art. Definitely the best museum experience I've had in a while. It had a great, clean layout, and a lot of subtle humor. Go for a low-pressure artistic experience.

Stones with names like "Dr. Santiago", "Boy" and "Ethyl".

Doisneau

Visited the Robert Doisneau exhibition at the Cartier Bresson Foundation, yesterday. I was sleepy, but it was two stops away, so I grabbed a croissant and hot chocolate, and waited (for an hour!) in line with a few friends.

I am not big on waiting to view art. I feel like it kills the calm of the experience. But this was worthwhile. The crowd was much more local than the flock of tourists you'll find at the larger museums, so that helped.

Framed on mossy green walls, the photographs were just great. It was so impresisve to see someone minipulate light, and still manage to capture very fleeting moments, all with 70 years less technology than we have today.

He's known for some very charming, and iconic images of vintage Paris. I recognized some of his more famous shots from my post card collection.

But the exhibition pushed to show a slightly darker side of his collection. Mixed in with the charming, were eerie photos of grubby children in Parisian suburbia. He really had an eye for situational humor, but could also make a very dramatic statement.

The print of this photo really caught my attention. The content was grim, but the contrast and layout of the photo was really made it something beautiful. It's an interesting mix of feelings I get when seeing a photo like this. My first reaction was to the aesthetic attraction. I liked it, a lot. And then came the sympathy; the story behind the photo finding my emotions.

That's what I like about photography; the blend of aesthetics and story telling.

Doisneau had an amazing grip on both angles.

Anyway, the exhibition's at Metro: Gaité, runs until April 18th, & is just 3euro with a student card. Get going.
