Prague x Minneapolis

Results of a film swap with the wonderful @Smolda. I have never seen Prague, but her film series helps me feel like I am there! We used masks in our holgas to achieve this effect. She used a negative space mask in her camera, and I used a positive space mask of the same shape. Since Minnesota is the North Star (Polaris) State, I think the shape is appropriate. ^__^

    These shapes are very similar to that shape on R.E.M.'s "Automatic for the people."

    @neufotomacher , Ah yes, I can see it a little. I have saved the mask and am using it again in another project... once I get my act together and actually shoot it. It's been cold and dull in Minneapolis.

    Oh, no. Not dull. I landed in Minneapolis in 2011, October to visit friends in Rochester and had quite a cool time in 4 days: Spam Museum, American Eagle sanctuary, various eateries, 1800's hospital located in Devonian age quarry with plenty of fossils, outside tour of Mayo Clinic, excursion for cheese and ice cream into Western most Wisconsin. Almost collided with a fast moving herd of deer crossing a dark, forested 2 lane highway. I'm pretty base, probably would find a home across the street from a tavern, LOL.

    @neufotomacher There are plenty of things to do here, that it true. I was more griping about the fact that Minneapolis is very colorless in the winter-time. We haven't had any of that pretty, stick-to-the-branches snow this season and everything melted... so it's all muddy and brown right now. It's quite pretty in the summer and autumn. :-)

    I remember when I landed in Minneapolis noting the patchwork of various fields of crops. The landscape had the look of a giant gold and green quilt of variety.
