Jesus loves us!

This portrait is only made with "flat circles" on a black background. Every circle has a single color, a single tone and a single size. I placed each circle one by one. It's a time consuming method. One week of intense work for this portrait. Please see some details and the work in progress here below. If you wish, you can also view this making of my portrait of Elvis Presley (video) to understand how I'm exploiting this technique with circles...

The Shepherd's Call

An amazing man I met during my recent trip in Spain. He didn't talk, he didn't move, but I knew he wanted me to take photos of him... The sheeps and clouds behind were in the perfect position. I was lucky to be there. The above picture has been shot with the Samsung NX11 (Samsung Electronics. Co., Ltd). If you wish, you can view a random detail HERE.

Is It Just Only
An Abracadabra?

By Peter S. Quinn

Christ has its many faces
And now it's like this
A cool monkey graces
The cradle that once was his

For our world is carefree
In all our endeavoring
And we like what we see
In our seeds and flowering

Though we are just the cell
Of space time and beyond
And cannot there foretell
What our heart has found

But isn't there - something there
Still unmarked or seen
For some close and near
And other just in between

Christ what is this phenomena
That tulips glow and shine
Is it just only an abracadabra?
To draw a religious border-line

We only have faith to believe
And can't get on to knowing
Beyond our veracity sleeve
If it’s only a superstar
Or more showing…
