Documenting the Human Condition by Chris Weeks

Leica M9 a schimbat un pic jocul dar jucatorii raman aceeasi; eu deocamdata urlu din tribune.

*

*

• Rangefinders will not make a statistically better photograph, however they will, if used properly, make a better photographer.
• You can’t break the rules of photography, you can bend them. If you break them you’ll get nothing, but if you’ll bend them you can get some wonderful things.
• Don’t worry about the time of day, because things happen when they happen.

Leica webcast

Leica a anuntat azi via unui internet webcast 3 aparitii noi in materie de aparate foto: S2 – un DSLR in format mediu (SPECs), X1 – un aparat foto pentru incepatori (entuziasti) cu un senzor APS-C, obiectiv fix de 24mm f/2.8 (35mm) (SPECs) si cea mai asteptata aparitie: M9 primul rangefinder digital full-frame (SPECs).

LEICA M microsite

De la conferinta:

• Rudi Spiller a tinut un discurs serios, tipic nemtesc triplu-sec.
• M9 are peste 1000 de componente, iar asamblarea manuala dureaza peste 7 ore.
• Seria M de la Leica se bazeaza pe conceptul “free from tripod”  pentru a permite fotografului sa surprinda “momentul decisiv” dupa cum bine zicea Henri Cartier-Bresson.
• M9 este un aparat foto construit pentru a realiza fotografii nu pentru a sta intr-o vitrina de sticla
• M9 este compatibil cu toate obiectivele de la M3 incoace.
• Leica X1 – un aparat foto pentru entuziasti, asamblat manual pentru a oferi un nivel inalt de calitate si va fi disponibil incepand cu decembrie 2009.
• Leica S2 – un aparat foto in format mediu creat de profesionisti pentru profesionisti, cu un senzor cu 56% mai mare decat orice full-frame de 35mm de pe piata, dispune de protectie impotriva apei si prafului, butoane intuitive si un design simplu si va fi disponibil incepand cu octombrie 2009.
• Seal a tinut un discurs plin de entuziasm presarat cu umor despre legatura lui de peste 16 ani cu Leica, motivele pentru care a mers pe sistemul Leica impartasind impresiile sale cu privire la noul M9.
• Stefan Daniel: “Leica ne permite sa oprim timpul in loc”.

Zambete

Exista tehnologii care s-au dezvoltat in jurul unui zambet (detectare zambet de la Nikon, Sony), cel mai vechi stereotip in fotografie fiind “zambiti va rog!”, exista zambete declansate de alte zambete si exista milioane de zambete care spun o poveste. Spune-ne aici poveste zambetului pe care il porti si/sau il daruiesti zi de zi.

Sunt prea putini cei care te-au surprins zambind ultima oara. Mai tii minte cand? De ce? Ce te impiedica in celelalte situatii, daca atunci cand ai zambit ultima oara erai doar tu? Cred ca sunt multi cei care ar prinde curaj daca ai impartasi momentul. Poate avem noroc si vor zambi din nou, poate ai noroc si vei zambi si tu, amintindu-ti!

Sunt Octavian si m-am tot gandit la asta, apoi am creat http://zambet.joacadeamine.ro cu ajutorul Posterous (e o platforma de colaborare foarte simpla, ne lamurim spre sfarsit). E un proiect la care pot participa toti oamenii din lume sau doar cativa, trimitand mesaje despre situatiile in care zambesc de obicei sau amintindu-si ultimele zambete. Nu este un site personal, ci un proiect din care probabil faceai oricum parte, impartasindu-ti zambetul din cand in cand. Eu propun sa faci asta online.

Dorinta mea este sa strangem sute sau de mii de zambete, astfel incat sa aratam ca muschii fetei sunt inca mobili, ca obiectele, situatiile si oamenii din jurul nostru sunt pe punctul de plecare de care avem nevoie pentru o stare sufleteasca pozitiva (oricare ar fi definitia pe care i-o dam fiecaruia in parte).

Mesajele trimise prin e-mail la post@zambet.posterous.com apar automat pe site, conform continutului din fiecare mail. Titlul este dat de subiectul e-mailului. Iar semnatura este optionala, ca parte din continut. Cand vei scrie, vei primi cat de repede o confirmare a postarii textului tau, a imaginii alese, a linkului sau al clipului audiovideo care te-a facut sa zambesti.

M-as bucura sa stie toata lumea cand zambesti. La fel cum te vei bucura si tu ca suntem multi, da vestea mai departe!

(via andrei, octavian)
