Felix Lupa - Photographer

It all began many years ago, in the dense rain-forests somewhere in South America. A small, elderly spider opened his eyes in the dark. A battle-cry echoed in his little head. It was a basic, ancient insatiable instinct. When the stomach growls nothing will stop it. It is a basic instinct, not a movie. For him it is the nature of things- he strikes out to hunt! He crawled quietly out of his hiding-place, on his way to the endless hunting grounds, in the direction of targets he had marked when he was going here and there never lazy, he had set small net-traps in strategic places: by the time I am back the frige will have filled up he thought and a bit to bite on the road never did one any harm . He moved quietly, his steps light, all his senses alert: he will strike out from his hiding place, paralyze his prey and disappear leaving no trace. The place where no human foot has been set .This is how his birth-place was called, but now, alas, the worst had happened: a human foot was planted in front of his eyes! Scanning quickly the situation he raised his head: there is no such animal he thought air force will be no good here. This battle will have to be decided face- to -face , and he stuck his teeth deep into the intruder s flesh. But alas, before he could complete his act he was suddenly struck by a heavy metal body bearing the strange letters made in j And this was the end of our little brave hero. Nevertheless, before he returned his soul to his maker he left his poisonous teeth, inserted deeply in that leg, inheritance to an amateur photographer from a small country, far away from there. Time passed, and our friend the photographer returned to the big city in his small country. The noisy streets suddenly seemed different to him. Everything looked and sounded different. Strange changes where taking place in his body: his eye- sight is now sharp. No longer does he bump into street poles that he fails to notice, as before. When he walks in the street he sees far and wide. His hearing, too, has improved wondrously: all of a sudden he hears the voices of the street, he understands its language. He goes out, camera in hand, his finger on the trigger- he sets out on a hunt, to photograph! Moving in the streets, he examines targets he had marked before, on his way here and there he moves quietly, his steps light, his senses alert. He will strike out from his hiding place, freeze his prey and leave no trace. His public eye is always opened; he sees everything, good and bad. The street is the photographer s friend, but also his enemy. So are the street s inhabitants with their varying lots and differing modes of life. They are unpredictable, random, and spontaneous. They are sensitive and surprising, decorous and dangerous. With all of them the photographer has to learn to communicate, to understand their language, and recognize their signals and hints. This is not slang; it is a secret sign- language, a set of codes for behavior in society, the society of the street. The language of the street consists of signs, symbols, geometrical shapes; its signs are written on notice- boards, on posters, you will find them on sidewalks, on bus stations, street poles, in the cloths people wear, on public waste -containers, on buses. The street speaks through people s facial expressions, through their body language, in the expressions of their physical and mental states, through expressions of relations among people, and between them and others. You will find the words of the street in shoes, in hair-styles, in cloths and in fashion every single detail you notice may be significant, meaningful. Understanding the street s language is not enough. The street-photographer s main occupation is a constant, unceasing, and stubborn search for a connecting line between the various signs of the street, so as to be able to translate these signs, arrange them visually for those who will look at his pictures. It is this constant search that nourishes the...

MARK YASHAEV :: PHOTOGRAGHER

Be present, be yourself. You are here. Objects are here. They are for you only, because you see them. This old saying is the best way to really understand what makes me photograph, the gentle poetry of light and the way it whispers me my next inspiration overbear my ability not to see things. This is some of my feelings, some of my lusts, some of me...
