Leipzig at Night series - The open gate

Way back in last August Chris and I were doing our nightshots in Leipzig, and we had tons of fun during these few hours. This is one of the few pictures taken with the Lomo that worked out. Since I can't screw the Lomo Fisheye 2 on a tripod, I always need to find something to steady it on for long exposures. In this case I took the wall.

"Studio In The Attic" Exhibition 2011 - Bridport.

West Country Galleries paid a visit to the "Studio In The Attic" Exhibition which was held at St Michael's Studios, Bridport from 21st-30th May.

The exhibition was held by our resident artists Sally Davies and Marion Taylor. It was a complete success with nearly 800 visitors passing through the doors!

Bridport has now become known as the "Art and Vintage Quarter". Bridport harbours a rabbit warren of artists together with the backdrop of funky shops acting as a beacon to visitors and tourists alike with delights and treats on offer to all.  Many artists have often said how lucky they are to have such an interesting place to exhibit their creations.

Marion's work exudes happiness and colour. Her detailed studies of butterflies which was one of her chosen pieces to show at the exhibition, demonstrates pristine detail with an accurate eye for detail. Marion also paints on canvas, wood panel and paper depicting Dorset's varied landscapes.

Sally is a visionary artist. Her gorgeous digital art - photography, filters out the intrinsic beauty of nature. Very observant in her observation of the quirky elements and her potential to mould her talent into the creation of great art through the proficient tweaks of shape and adjustments of colour.

The attached Exhibition video on this blog is to give our website visitors a taste of the abundant talent and professionalism our resident artists convey when showing their work.

Looks hot, but felt cool - End of March on the Darss

I took this picture at the Darsser Ort, which is a biological reserve. There you have a lovely little round tour, where you aren't allowed to leave the way so that you don't disturb the animals or do harm to the plants. I really, really enjoyed the walk and took tons of pictures, which I will publish here eventually. 

Again, all photographies you can buy via my DaWanda-Shop. Just tell me in my newest post here, which one you want and I'll put it up on DaWanda.

"The Baster' a.k.a "The Switch" Movie

Just watched "The Baster" by Jennifer Aniston, one my favorite actress. Ok, the movie I downloaded was "The Baster" but google shows "The Switch". Probably there's a twist on the name. Nahh, whatever it is. It's a good movie I would recommend to all comedy/romance movie lovers. It's a 2010 movie, not new but you can still watch it if you haven't do so.




Here's the Plot Summary:
"An unmarried 40-year-old woman turns to a turkey baster in order to become pregnant. Seven years later, she reunites with her best friend, who has been living with a secret: he replaced her preferred sperm sample with his own.
Kassie (Jennifer Aniston) and Wally (Jason Bateman) are best friends. Being unlucky in love, Kassie has decided to have a child using artificial insemination. Wally doesn't like this idea, but he isn't capable of admitting to himself, let alone to Kassie, that he's in love with her. At Kassie's artificial insemination party, Wally gets very drunk and spies the sperm donor's sample in the bathroom. Wally was way too drunk to know what he did that night, and Kassie has moved away because she doesn't feel that New York City is a place to raise a child. Now 7 years later, Kassie has moved back with her son Sebastian. While she is looking to get Roland (the sperm donor) more involved in their lives, Wally can't help but notice the many striking similarities that he and Sebastian share."

Synopsis: JENNIFER ANISTON stars alongside JASON BATEMAN in this offbeat comedy as Kassie, a smart, fun—loving single woman who, despite her neurotic best friend Wally’s (BATEMAN) objections, decides it’s time to have a baby—even if it means doing it by herself… with a little help from a charming sperm donor (PATRICK WILSON). But, unbeknownst to her, Kassie’s plans go awry because of a last—minute switch that isn’t discovered until seven years later when Wally finally gets acquainted with Kassie’s cute—though slightly neurotic—son. From the people behind “Little Miss Sunshine” and “Juno” comes “The Switch,” due in theaters this summer.
 



 
Hmm, Roland's fluid! Wally gonna hijack Kassie's pregnancy!


Kassie (Jennifer Aniston) does the pouting misguided woman-child thing at 40-ish, a fabulously successful New York City television producer who yearns to also produce a child of her own and is financially comfortable enough to do so, but lacks a suitable male donor and has a biological clock winding down. Her best friend Wally (Jason Bateman), who has been secretly smitten with her for years but is too neurotic to say so, descends into a deep funk when Kassie appoints ready and able married dream guy Roland (Patrick Wilson) to provide his sperm sample instead. Here comes the female fertility gathering, sounds ridiculous but it is for the donor-> Roland. Wally gets drunk and accidentally spill Roland's specimen container into the sink when someone knocks the bathroom. The inebriated prankster proceeds to replace it with his own sample, while getting in the mood to do so by admiring a perky photo of—I kid you not—Diane Sawyer on the cover of a magazine.

 Roland (Patrick Wilson), the sperm donor!
Now, if you’ve ever groaned about all those movies where a character wakes up the next morning and can’t remember having sex with the sweaty body next to them, laying an even bigger claim in the sexual amnesia department is Wally having not the least recollection of getting auto-erotic and fathering this subsequent child, Sebastian. It takes a stranger on a bus remarking how the terminally grouchy kid (a scene-stealing Thomas Robinson) Wally is babysitting six years later has got to be his son to jolt the dad into deep denial’s radically faulty memory.



 Wally (Jason Bateman) with Sebastian (Thomas Robinson) at the park.



Watch the trailer and get some idea on what is THE SWITCH all about! 

Starring: Jennifer Aniston (Kassie Larson)
             Jason Bateman (Wally Mars)
             Patrick Wilson (Roland)
             Thomas Robinson (Sebastian)

Need a bit of cooling down? There you go...

I took this picture last December. During the winter I mostly used my Digital Ixus, since there wasn't enough light for my Lomo most of the time. On this film I found pictures from last October too. 


The house on the left is what is called a "Platte", it's a house build of concrete panels. I live in a "Platte" and I was lucky, because I have a fantastic view over Leipzig and woodland and it is quite quiet, which surprised me. 


Have a wonderful new week.

 They wouldn't let us three ride together but that didn't stop us from taking a picture together!



Logan, Soph, me, Em, Bowers, and Tay

Getting ready for Minico's Prom---haha I fell asleep while Em was doing my hair but it kinda looks like I'm praying.

My date, Trevor...thanks for the fun time! We went laser tagging for our day date:)

James Milroy - `Crowding About` and other paintings.

Commencing Saturday 18th June through to 2nd October 2011



Summer Exhibition at the Salford Museum & Art Gallery, Peel Park, Salford, M5 4WU. Telephone: 0161-778-0800.  Artist James Milroy's major retrospective of work from the last three years - fifty paintings packed with people having fun. See more of James Milroy's wonderful creations on his website http://www.jamesmilroy.co.uk/                               

His work is unique and ingenious in many ways. I have never seen such originality when it comes to his `Painters Painting Series` in which this chosen line of work depicts crowds of artists. This ongoing series is proving extremely popular with art lovers everywhere. It has been said that his paintings and prints packed with crowds of people are a cross between Lowry and Where's Wally. Comparisons have also been made between Bruegel, Hogarth and Daumier.



Vincent Painting Van Goghs by James Milroy

You can find many of James Milroy's paintings, prints and cards selling in shops and galleries throughout the UK.

James Milroy is always part of the Oxfordshire Artweeks. This year's event ran from 21st-28th May 2011. For more information on the Oxford Artweeks, you can contact them at the following address:
