The Long Leg

noreply@blogger.com (Mehmet Tuncel) — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 15:44:55 PDT

The Long Leg, ca.1930, painted by Edward Hopper (1882-1967) brings the serenity of the ocean to life and speaks of isolation and alone”ness”. Hopper’s paintings are characterised by melancholy, isolation and loneliness. The Long Leg depicts a sail boat at Long Point Light in Provincetown, Massachussetts at about 3 o’clock in the afternoon. Although it depicts a leisure scene, no people are visible on the boat or the shore and this mood of isolation is said to reflect the abstract, impersonal symbol of Modernism.

Painting aside, the idea of being alone and being lonely are often confused with being synonymous with each other. Being alone can be energising, strengthening & helpful to discover the peace within. It has become such a rarity to experience the pure treasure of being alone without either the feelings of stress & anxiety that comes with some busy lives or without feeling lonely. Learning to appreciate your own company might be harder for some people than others, but making friends with yourself and learning not to yearn for or hide behind the company of others is good for you!

Being alone can help to re-orientate you, help you to move forward and come to terms with your feelings or actions. Being alone is actually only a problem when you feel lonely. Feeling lonely in a crowd may reflect how you feel about yourself in relation to other people.

Aromatherapy is beneficial for both the positive state of alone”ness” and it’s negative sister, loneliness.

Deniz Feneri

noreply@blogger.com (Mehmet Tuncel) — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 14:51:50 PST

Bir Denizfeneri.. Okyanusla sonsuza dek komşu. Okyanusun mu ona daha çok ihtiyacı var yoksa, denizfeneri mi okyanus için vazgeçilmez bir sevgili?
Gündüzleri, denizfeneri isyanlarda... Çünkü yanıbaşındaki biricik sevgilisi gözlerinin önünde güneşle ihtirasla sevişmekte. Hep gece olsun ister, sevgilisi ona kalsın, yalnız onda bulsun gecedeki renginin güzelliğini... Denizfeneri, küçücüktür okyanusa göre ama güneşin aşkından daha büyüktür aşkı okyanusa...
Geceleri ise denizfeneri, mutluluklar peşindedir, gecenin esrarengiz sessizliğinde. Her ışık turunda çıldırır denizfeneri zevkten, adeta danseder okyanusun en uzak noktalarına uzanarak. Daha gerçektir denizfeneri, gece sadece o ve okyanus vardır sınırlı görüş gizliliğinde.

Gündüzleri denizfeneri bir hiçtir bütün aldatmalara şahit olarak. Güneş ise gece olunca bu hissi göremez.. Gece, denizfeneri ile okyanusun aşkının dansedişine güneş şahitlik yapmaz.. Gün bitiminde ve başlangıcında teslim ederler sevgili okyanuslarını birbirlerine güneş ve denizfeneri.
Güneşin okyanusla arasına giren bir engel vardır kimi zaman, bu işkencedir güneşi küçülten. Bulutlardır, bu hain, gündüz aşkında güneşe okyanusu göstermeyen. Güneş ise tüm gücüyle savaşır okyanusa ulaşmak için. O kadar yaklaşır ki, bulutlara bulutlar, yoğunlaşır, yoğunlaşır ve gökyüzü ağlamaya başlar okyanus hasretinden hesapsızca titrer.

Okyanus bütün damlaları özlemle kucaklar, her damla onu güneşine daha çok yaklaştırmaktadır. Gökyüzü ağlar, ağlar ta ki son damlası bitene kadar. Okyanus damlalarla büyür büyür büyüklüğüne daha hacim katarak aşkının sevgi damlalarıyla. Bilmezdi okyanus, her yağmurla sevgisini ona iletmek isteyen bir güneşinin olduğunu. Her yağmur yağdığında okyanus kızar güneşine gündüz onu terkettiğini düşünür, hırçınlaşır, dalgalanır öfkesinden bilemez güneşinin ona ulaşmak için savaştığını...

İntikamını denizfenerinden alır okyanus, onun neden gündüz sevgilisi olmadığını defalarca kamçılayarak sorar denizfenerine. Dalgalarını büyütür, cevap alamayınca denizfenerinden.. Denizfeneri onu teselli edemez, çünkü o sadece gece vardır gerçek gecededir onun için. Ağlayamaz denizfeneri, ağlamayı deliler gibi istesede, gözyaşları yoktur, ulaşmak istesede ulaşamaz gündüz sevgilisine. Çaresizdir denizfeneri, sadece bir dilek geçirir içinden rüzgarâ yalvarır "bulutları kaçır buradan" diye, güneşin çıkması sevgilisine sevgi dolu ışıklarını göndermesini diler.
Okyanusunun mutluluğunu ister hesapsızca... Çünkü tek mutluluğu budur denizfenerinin. Ağlayamaz, gündüz ona ulaşamaz, konuşamaz hislerini okyanusuna. Her okyanusun sahilinde bir denizfeneri vardır. Her gece denizfenerleri gemilere okyanusa olan aşkını haykırırlar, ümitsizce, yarınlarını hiç düşlemeden...

Ve her gece hikayelerini anlatmak için gemileri beklerler sonsuz gecelerde...

Mark Gannon

noreply@blogger.com (Mehmet Tuncel) — Mon, 17 Jan 2011 03:31:54 PST

The 12 human canvasses have posed nude covered in images of the Jurassic Coast for charity.

Models' backs are body painted as landscapes

Body painter Mark Gannon created the art work of the iconic landscapes – including Durdle Door, Portland Bill Lighthouse, Golden Cap and Sandford Castle – on faces, backs and bottoms.

'I liked the sound of him and he has been brilliant,' said 61-year-old Cheryl Reynolds, who came up with the idea.

'He's come up with loads of ideas for the calendar and nothing has ever been too much for him.

'I had a sabre tooth tiger fossil on my bottom and I was lying there for two hours while he painted it.

'We are all up for a laugh and to raise a bit of money for charity and have some fun.

'That's what it's all about,' added Mrs Reynolds, from Lyme Regis, Dorset.

The Jurassic Coast is a World Heritage Site and stretches from Orcombe Point near Exmouth in East Devon to Old Harry Rocks near Swanage in East Dorset, a distance of 153km (95 miles).

PemaQuid Lighthouse, Maine
Originally uploaded by kevin mcneal.

This is an image from my New England fall tour this year which took me to Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, New York, and Mass. This particular image is from Maine along the coast. One of the better known lighthouses called Pemaquid Lighthouse. I know this place has been shot alot but when you are from the West Coast and you never seen this place it is quite something with lots of possibilities.

I am sorry for posting another one that a million people have shot but I was so happy to finally see the lighthouse that I have been seeing everywhere for the last couple of years. This is of course Portland Head Lighthouse in Maine.

The following image is from a trip to see my family in West Vancouver. It is amazing that I had a lighthouse like this in my backyard and was not even aware of it until I got into photography few years ago. It is funny to think I travelled hundreds of miles to shoot the Portland Lighthouse in Maine and this one right next to me was almost forgotten.
I guess it is always important to see what is in your backyard...

I took several different compositions of this and did an article on how to work a scene in terms of composition on my photo blog which can be seen with the link below

This is an image from my fall trip to Canada. This infamous lighthouse is called Peggy's Cove in Nova Scotia. I was fortunate enough to spend three days here shooting several sunrises and sunsets. This is one of the most stunning lighthouses I have seen in my lifetime.

Ο Αρμενιστής κατασκευάστηκε το 1891. Το ύψος του πύργου του ειναι 19 μέτρα και το εστιακό του ύψος είναι 184 μέτρα. Ο μηχανισμός του αρχικού φανού του Αρμενιστή ήταν κατασκευής SAUTER LEMONIER, βραβεύτηκε από την Διεθνή Εκθεση των Παρισίων και λειτούργησε στην κορυφή του φάρου μέχρι το 1983. Από τότε εκτίθεται στο προαύλιο του Ναυτικού Μουσείου Αιγαίου που στεγάζεται σε ένα παραδοσιακό κυκλαδίτικο κτήριο του 19ου αιώνα, στο κέντρο της Μυκόνου, στη θέση Τρία Πηγάδια. Η κατασκευή του φάρου στον Αρμενιστή αποφασίστηκε μετά το ναυάγιο του Αγγλικού ατμόπλοιου VOLTA το 1887 στα βόρεια παράλια της Μυκόνου όπου πνίγηκαν τα 11 μέλη του πληρώματος.

Το σημείο όπου στέκεται ο φάρος είναι το πιο αγαπημένο μου. Η άκρη του νησιού στο Βόρειο μέρος όπου ο αέρας είναι πολύ δυνατός και το πέρασμα της θάλασσας ανάμεσα στα νησιά της Τήνου και της Μυκόνου από τα πιο επικίνδυνα για τα καΐκια. Το πρώτο πράγμα που βλέπουμε όταν πλησιάζουμε το νησί και το τελευταίο που αφήνουμε πίσω μας όταν το χαιρετάμε...
