What the dickens are you talking about, AG? Floating dutch letters? Gaffer
taping pastries?? Are dutch letters any different from french letters?
Yes Piers, the love letters I receive from my sweetheart I understand ;-)
Amitiés
Philippe, in Alsace tonight

Well, yesterday we wrapped up the photography for what is now a three year book
project. We've got the shooting done!!!! Yee Haa!
Tons of editing to be done. We'll be doing some serious photoshopping of images
to place the letters in places we couldn't reach. Like 75 feet up on a tower,
or 20 feet out on the blade of a spinning windmill... Stuff like that.
The entire project was shot on film and proved to be quite compelling because
the look/feel of the images is very distinct as it was done all with the OM
system and Ektar 100 film. Most shots were done with the 35-80/2.8 zoom, but we
used just about everything to complete the project. Two shots in particular
used the 300/4.5, another the 200/4, one the 100/2 and another the 28/2. If I
recall correctly, I think one shot was done with the 24/2.8 and another with
the 50/1.4. But, mostly the 35-80 was used.
There was one picture that I had envisioned doing that finally came together.
We floated one of the "dutch letters" across a pond through a fountain. We had
enough wind to make it happen, otherwise we would have needed to use fishing
line. It took three tries to get it floated across. We gaffer taped the letter
"F" to three packing "bubbles".
I'll photoshop out the packing bubbles.
Note: Gaffer tape does not adhere to two-year-old pastries.
