Fashion-art inspiration photography: dreamming dresses

This week we're shooting light - painting ideas. It's suppossed to be easy: just you, your lights & a long exposure time...but try to do it in the cold german night, people! Also, the hamburg background is giving us some troubles. We'll see.

Big, big inspiration:

There's more than just 'inspiration' for me in this post.

This creative - designer, Tomás Peña (Espaun256), started his way not only in the same city than me, but also in the same small agency and even in the same desk -with the slower PC ever-.
But that place wasn't challegeable enough for him. It was 2003, and one year later he left this city to start over in Madrid and afterwards he moved to Los Angeles. There he created really high-level stuff for brands like Nokia, Playstation and MTV. Impressive.

3 years after that, with no idea of what I was doing in my mind, I started my training in that agency as my first contact with the advertising life. Since I heard about his story, I knew that it was possible to do something different than just stay there in that desk for ages.
And now, after my first amazing MiamiADschool year, while Im waiting for the new experience in the States, I know I was right. Im in my own way.

Clay Shirky. Web 2.0. Expo Keynotes.

"A friend was watching television with his four-year-old daughter, and the little girl suddenly got up from the couch and started rummaging behind theTV, tugging on the wires. The friend asked her what she was doing, thinking she might be doing something cute, like looking for Dora. Instead, the girl said she was looking for the mouse.

Here's what four-year-olds know -- a screen that ships without a mouse is broken, Media that's created for you that doesn't involve you is broken"

Locura de Keynote, eso sí, para sentarse y escuchar tranquilamente. Wikipedia, worldofwarcraft, TV y los millones de horas que todo esto consume.
