Promise to a dear friend...

"The unreal is more powerful than the real. Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on. If you can change the way people think. The way they see themselves. The way they see the world. You can change the way people live their lives."

— Chuck Palahniuk

Promise to a dear friend...

So, yesterday I promised Reni I would upload some more of my work... So, armed and dangerous I left the house this morning to make some pictures...

I knew where I was headed. Yesterday, working in back of the garden, I had discovered two beautiful nests with eggs in them and since they tend not to run off, I would brave the twittering birds and immortalize their brood to be...

Of course, when I'm holding a camera, the road from point A (being to point of origin of the camera) to point B (the nests) is never a straight line...

Also... there was one I had to get rid off...

Eye see you, nestlings...

all owners of cats know this look...
we call it politely the 'Feed Me' look.

She wasn't leaving me, so on we went... (I knew myself well enough to know I wouldn't get to my destination soon so I still had time to bore the life out of her)

Some impressions:

old rope

life in the weeds

flowering nature

small Depth of Field

And lo and behold... Me... and my cat Musa... had finally made it to the back of the garden!
And as expected, the nest was right where I left it :)

well hidden and really small. The eggs weren't much bigger then the red berries on the bush

Now for the other nest... I snuck up to it only to find I was being watched intently...
(no, not by the cat)

She didn't move as I approached but in the end I did came too close and she / he flew away. Deciding to take a snap shot of the inside of the nest I discovered something that I knew was bound to happen, but I hadn't dare hope it would have happened already...

Yesterday's eggs ...

were eggs no more!

I nearly squeeled! Nearly.

baby birds look horrible, but I can't help thinking they're adorable!!
...
They're very tired too ...

Night night and sweet dreams!

hope you all enjoyed the journey from A to B !!

I always feel strange having to introduce myself, as I would presume I’m a bit biased, but for you I’ll make an honest attempt at objectivity…

Marie Olaerts (being ‘me’ in the third person) grew up in a small village in a small country with a great liking for action movies, SF and thriller/ suspense, dreaming of how it would be like to be on a set, not visiting, but actually doing something useful. And so, that dream in the back of her mind she ended up at the Rits, a Belgian school for film making, where she graduated in 2007 as a professional bachelor (option camera/ cinematography) with the short film ‘the blessing of Henry Mullin’ as cinematographer.

Ever since then she is working on different sets in different functions, but her true passion lies with cinematography. There is still so much to learn and try, enough to fill a lifetime she is happy to discover, and her vision altered by a film-focussed life and the things she saw; she loves the light that seems just a bit off to add to the scene.

Meeting new people and education opened her horizon to a much greater rage of films, especially the Asian cinema, of which ‘Hero’ is her favourite. Though she hasn’t had the chance to see as much films as she’d like, she’s striving to correct that in the near future.

Movies she holds in high regard are: Hero, Alien, The Crow, Darkness (for the mood of the film), Musa, The game, The usual suspects, Bin Jip, Old Boy …
The documentaries ‘Long Gone’ (http://www.longgonefilm.com/) and ‘Peuple Migrateur’ opened her eyes to the fact that this genre too can be beautiful to make and film-like to watch and Monty Python was like rediscovering the comedy genre all over again.
Nothing beats ‘The Holy Grail’.

Always having lived in the middle of nowhere; contact with nature is a necessity more then anything else and when she’s not on set she likes to roam forests, meet with friends and go to class (she’s been following Aikido since November 2007 and this has become a bit of a passion). Other then that, she likes to make photographs, read, draw and write.

… There’s not much more to say really. Hello world, this is me ;)

--
Light is only meaningful in relation to darkness and it is the infinite play of these two opposites, where and how they meet and their relation to a certain moment in time that I seek, not to perfect, but to rediscover...
