Caramblogage

I've been talking about this one for months, haven't I? One of the difficulties with this project is explaining the fun it is live. Usually, I'll say something like:"You know, it's like one of those umumum kids' books that have a head and a middle and feet and then umumum you flip through it and make up figures. It's about fear. Oh, and it has explanations in the back." That's where friends (Thanks Jovita!) and cameras come in. In stead of going through the verbal  motions again and again, they made it possible to record the experience that is the Little Book of Fears, thus providing the viewer with a nonverbal and direct explanation that works better than most words I have hitherto come up with to explain this. It is also my first foray into stop-motion shot in natural light, which was a joy to make, from the shoot to the selection of the individual frames that would make up the film to the final hectic edit.

Todays' random project of interest has been around since 1994. It's called Exactitudes Photographer Ari Versluis and profiler Ellie Uyttenbroek, working from Rotterdam have been collecting portraits of people from various walks of life, motivated by a shared interest for similarities in the way people from the same strata of society dress. Over the years, they have compiled an extensive library of groupings from various continents, situations and lifestyles.  It is an amazing documentation without taking into consideration that the photos are good, too. Find it here. You might find yourself there.
