Francis Bacon 110th Birthday ♥♥

Francis by Francis Giacobetti, 1991

♥♥♥

 
❝ In order for the light to shine so brightly,
the darkness must be present.

 
❝ I would like my pictures to look as if a human being
had passed between them, like a snail, leaving a trail
of the human presence and memory trace of past events
as the snail leaves its slime.

- Francis Bacon -

October 28, 1909 - April 28, 1992

♥ On Nietzsche 175th Birthday ♥

Nietzsche, 1869


♥♥ We Love You, Friedrich ♥♥


❝ Everything the State says is a lie,
and everything it has it has stolen. 

from Thus Spoke Zarathustra


❝ He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. 

from Beyond Good and Evil

 
❝ There exists in the world a single path along which no one can go except you: whither does it lead? 
Do not ask, go along it. 

from Untimely Meditations

Who are they and who are we? by Fouad Negm

Who are they and who are we?
They are the princes and the sultans
They are the ones with wealth and power
And we are the impoverished and deprived
Use your mind, guess…
Guess who is governing whom?

Humble Tribute to Fan Ho ♥♥

♥ Tribute to Hong Kong's poet on his 88th Birthday ♥
 Thank you sooooooo much, Master !!!!!



People tell me it seems my photographic works have stories, have some drama. That’s why, later on, I became a film director. Both use images to tell their story, to express the emotions of the author.
Photography and filmmaking are like sisters.
One is still and one is moving—that is the only difference.

October 8, 1931, China - June 19, 2016
