I was reading a French article about how Banksy could well be Mr Brainwash and that reminded me of this wall I shot a while ago in Menilmontant… (some other articles about Mr Brainwash and Banksy in English here and here)
I am pretty sure I also came across this collage in the past, I believe it was around Bastille, but I can’t seem to find a picture…
Je lisais un article en Français sur le fait que Banksy pourrait bien être Mr Brainwash et ça m’a rappelé ce mur que j’avais pris en photo il y a quelques temps à Menilmontant… (d’autres articles sur Mr Brainwash et Banksy en anglais ici et ici)
Je suis quasi certaine d’avoir croisé ce collage récemment, il me semble que c’était vers Bastille, mais je ne trouve pas de photo…

Cyanotypes… The only test piece that came out OK of the experiments I tried yesterday. Painted fabric as been used with an enlarged (digitally) Black Bird Fly negative.
Four more tests are in the process, let’s hope they will work out. My biggest challenge right now is to make the cyanotype stick and reveal on a “plastified” material.

Plus de cyanotypes… Le seul essai qui est sorti à peu près bien de la série d’expérimentations d’hier. Du tissu au préalable peint a été utilisé avec un négatif agrandit (numériquement) de Black Bird Fly.
Quatres autres tests sont en cours, en éspérant qu’ils fonctionnent… La difficulté étant de faire tenir et se révéler le cyanotype sur une matière ” plus plastifiée”.

I tried a new experiment yesterday and that is cyanotype print on fabric. I had no idea how it would turn out, but in the end I am very VERY happy of the results ! This is really inspiring, I want to try so many things now ! It really brings together my two passions ! I don’t know how they would resist to washing or if I can change the colour without dying the entire fabric etc. But as they are test pieces I will see what can be done.
J’ai fait une nouvelle expérimentation de cyanotype hier et cette fois-ci sur tissu. Je ne savais vraiment pas ce que ça allait rendre, mais pour finir je suis très TRES contente ! Les résultats me font rêver à tout un tas de nouvelles expérimentations que je veux maintenant essayer. Je suis vraiment en train de réunir mes deux passions, ce que je ne pensais pas possible. Je ne sais pas encore comment le cyanotype va résister à la machine à laver, si il est possible de teindre l’image au tanin sans teindre tout le tissu… Mais vu que ces pièces sont des tests, je vais voir ce qui peut être fait dessus.

This year is really cool, we went to Barcelona for a week last Spring, end of June we did a 10 days road trip in France and tonight we are catching a train for Vannes where we are staying 2 weeks ! Yeah! We are not planning much over there, for once, apart from walking on the country side, making nice food and relax… Lovely ! We count on Vinzz our weather prayer to not disappoint us. So here is a picture to illustrate the daily spirit!
I am not sure I will post whilst over there, but we’ll see, obviously I will have my macbook with me just in case…

And so I haven’t kept my promise and I haven’t uploaded every day, I have a very good excuse but I won’t share it with you it is too personal… I will just try to express how I feel, with a pricture and with words.
I guess I am tired, depressed and I wish I could just carry on living these next 48 hours in my dreams just so I don’t have to face the fact of thinking. But most of all I am sick of having to wait for an ending that will change everything. I feel powerless. I don’t want to do anything to change my mind, I comply myself within my misery. And the worst thing is I expect nothing good will come out of this…
I am probably talking Chinese to you and you’re thinking what the hell is she talking about, well it doesn’t really matter… It could be a sad story and I don’t want to ruin your day, it could also be a great story, this is all part of the suspense that I can’t bear living anymore… I guess it is time to stop being so mysterious, I have tried to pick up an image motionless, maybe a tiny bit optimist because I should still be, but also sad. And that would be the note of the day (that I might delete if I realize it is still too personal).

Right and so I found another picture on the same roll that I do appreciate, not so much when I first saw it but the more I look at it and the more it seems unreal, like in an animation movie… So here it is ! For the info this was taken in Chateaubriant when we visited my bro end of June. This is shot from the castle in the wall window(?).
Oh and today is bank holiday in France, we celebrate the end of the REVOLUTION ! It is sunny (good compared to last year when we went to Amsterdam and it was pissing down the rain for the entire 4 days…), although I am feeling well lazy so not sure what I’ll do… Improvisation…

I have felt very unhappy with my personal photography recently, I guess things are changing a lot since I am taking photography full time as a job and it is difficult to practice professionally as well as to relax myself…
I am not saying I don’t like the pictures my clients get (that you can find here : www.cindygauthier.com), fortunately enough, I understand they are really happy with them and therefore I am happy. But I kind of feel lost as to the directions of my personal photography should take. I guess the only picture I quite like at the moment is this one :
So I will try to bear this one in mind from now on… Fingers crossed I will produce some other images I like, cause one in a roll is fairly poor (and I will rapidly be poor developping the films to get the one each time !).
And two posts in a day ! That’s motivation ! I guess I should advertise this blog now, it starts to be a bit hectic ! I might wait a bit just to make sure I stick to this rhythm…

I keep on noticing funny footprints on the road and path I follow during my daily walks and so I have started to shoot them with the Black Bird Fly (my best friend I guess)… So here is below the beginning of maybe a long series?!
