The beauty and the prisoner... doomed to disappear sooner or later because unable to really express their feeling. I took this photo in Brussels not so lond ago and made the sketch as usual. The composition may look a bit tricky and unusual, because the model was actually standing in front of a large mirror… Model: Coralie Nelly. You can also view the drawing in progress at this link...

A picture I took in a parc in Brussels a few days ago. I know, it's
quite a strange title for such an image. It is dedicated to someone.

This is a picture I took in Greece. I also made the drawing on paper. I'm going to start something new in the "Pencil Vs Camera" series, I'll try to see "through things". This image is the beginning of a new turn in the PvsC concept... Please, see the whole "Pencil Vs Camera" album.

The above photo has been shot with the Samsung NX10

It is Freezing

It was a very cold day in Belgium. I found this precious duo
in a park in Brussels. These birds were amazingly colorful
and beautiful. It made a perfect contrast with the pale frozen
lake. The bird on the right is a Mandarin Duck. According to
an old woman who goes to the lake every day, the 2 animals
became friends and stay together all the time. Lovely couple!

Nowadays life has become a capitalist game... Why?!

I took this photo in Montreal, Canada
(I also made the rough sketch, inspired
by Super Mario Bros, of course)

This is dedicated to Yves Rossy alias "JET MAN" (also known as "Fusion Man"). I admire him a lot.

He is a Swiss pilot, inventor and aviation enthusiast. He is nicknamed "Jet Man" and "Fusion Man" for being the first person to achieve sustained human flight using a jet-powered fixed wing strapped to his back, reaching a top speed of 304 km/h (189 mph). He developed and built a system comprising a back pack with rigid aeroplane-type carbon-fiber wings with a span of about 2.4 metres (7.9 ft), powered by four attached jet engines. He already flew across the English Channel, the Strait of Gibraltar and over the Alps. Next, Rossy plans to fly across the Grand Canyon in Arizona in the USA...

I Have Also Seen This in Paris
.

I took the initial background photo from Montmartre's hill in Paris, France and then added the 2 birds (coming from one of my photo sessions realized during a trip in England) with a huge scale contrast to give the whole scenery a surreal look...

Not a Drifter but a Dreamer

Tell Him

Will You Ever Sing

By Peter S. Quinn

Will you ever sing
Like the bird in a tree,
That the sunshine can bring
Inside to me -;
All is pleasurable now
With much wondering ways,
We will manage somehow
To get it through these days.

There is winter outside
Often it is much fun,
When the sully moods hide
And the shadows are on run;
Bring though again spring
For I feel more pleasure,
Happiness is an inside feeling
Perhaps the truest treasure.

Will I ever have more
Then I have with this all,
I should have said thereinbefore
Less is less and that is small;
Let there be sunshine
Before this day is gone,
It would be according to a line
I recently have done.

Back to my Roots

As I Am

A poem by Peter S. Quinn

As I am
I am your tender way
Someone to follow
Earth in its gray
Love song of the deep
As hours pass by
Hold on and keep
Knots to lose and try

You are for me
Night with its stars
Someone to follow
Winter’s top isobars
Can’t you hear me singing
Like a bird in a tree
To your heart bringing
Something of me

As I am
Without any taken
Winter ways hollow
Through the darks waken
No one but you
Understands this
From the dim dim blue
Outside in vast abyss
.

The Bird

A Bird Came Down

By Emily Dickinson

A bird came down the walk:
He did not know I saw;
He bit an angle-worm in halves
And ate the fellow, raw.

And then he drank a dew
From a convenient grass,
And then hopped sidewise to the wall
To let a beetle pass.

He glanced with rapid eyes
That hurried all abroad,--
They looked like frightened beads, I thought;
He stirred his velvet head

Like one in danger; cautious,
I offered him a crumb,
And he unrolled his feathers
And rowed him softer home

Than oars divide the ocean,
Too silver for a seam,
Or butterflies, off banks of noon,
Leap, splashless, as they swim.

Hi Little Boy

By Peter S. Quinn

Hi little boy with a wondering face
You are still learning to be awake
In each feeling that comes to amaze
With new discoveries in every take

So much to give from every thought
With something spectacular to do
That experiment moments brought
And you gave a meaning and glue

There are places sweet in your eyes
From the profound forestry wood
With something lost from paradise
Some to recall from your childhood

Fairy stories of the right and wrong
Giving their time in timeless hours
Daydreams that you in dreams long
Like innocent break of day flowers

Each new turn is an on finding way
To the fancy where your heart is
And you with the cherubs along play
For your daybreak’s still in fresh bliss
.

I made these some 6 years ago when
I was living in Hastings, England.

If I could Fly...

...f r e e d o m would be mine

Bring the Light
.
By Peter S. Quinn

Come come morning come
Freshness awaits me then
Tickle each bosom blossom
When they will feel you again
Rise to the edge of the sea
Bring the light there on
Billows that waves so free
Never to shore are all done

A bird in a nest is to fly
Finding the freedom in wings
Reaching the horizons sky
Wondering what morning brings
Flocking to oceans wide
Searching for something to eat
Into the deep they glide
Every small motion to read

Come come to day newborn
With every aspect of light
Dark gown is becoming worn
Taking its dim and the night
Faraway times going around
Each with its moments to turn
Somewhere a glow they've found
To give to the new morning burn

in The Hague, in the Netherlands
