<p>Ein Journalist findet sich immer, der die Vorlage bietet, um Politiker auf breiter medialer Front zu diskreditieren. Der Auftragsjournalismus im Spiegel und die Meinungsmacherkette von Springer-Verlag (Spiegel und Bildzeitung) sowie dem Burda-Verlag (die Bunte aus dem Hause Hubert Burda/Burda-Media, so auch Focus) werden auch in Zukunft alles nutzen, was der LINKEN schaden und deren politische Akzeptanz, sowie die Organisation zu mehr Solidarität in der Bevölkerung, schmälern kann.</p>
<p>Es ist bemerkenswert, dass sich der konservative Parteikriecher-Journalist Hans Peter Schütz vom Stern-Magazin (Gruner+Jahr-Verlag, Bertelsmann) zu diesem Thema als seriös und natürlich gut vernetzt zeigen möchte. Man erinnere sich an seine distanzlosen Anfeindungen und böswillligen Angriffe persönlichen Art gegen Gabriele Pauli im Interview.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Con questo post inauguro una nuova categoria, quella dedicata alla storia della fotografia.<br />
Inizio con uno dei fotografi più incisivi della prima metà del novecento.</p>
<p>Parlo di <a href="http://www.billbrandt.com/" target="_blank"> Bill Brandt</a>.</p>
<div id="attachment_228" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 430px"><a href="http://myskinblog.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/london__1952.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-228" title="© Bill Brandt Archive Ltd " src="http://myskinblog.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/london__1952.jpg" alt="© Bill Brandt Archive Ltd " width="420" height="467" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">© Bill Brandt Archive Ltd </p></div>
<p>Tracciare un percorso certo della vita di Bill Brandt è piuttosto difficile: le fonti, cui si può attingere a tale scopo, sono copiose ma talora contraddittorie, poiché Brandt, da uomo schivo, pare abbia preferito lasciare in ombra se non addirittura modificare certi dettagli biografici.<br />
Nasce ad Amburgo il 3 maggio del 1904. I suoi genitori sono benestanti: il padre discende da una famiglia inglese, la madre da una russa. Trascorre l’infanzia a Schleswig-Holstein. Ancora ragazzo si sposta in Svizzera: all’età di sedici (o di venti) anni, infatti, si ammala di tubercolosi, ed è ricoverato in un sanatorio a Davos.</p>
<div id="attachment_236" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 407px"><a href="http://myskinblog.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/east-end-girl-dancing-the-lambeth-walk-1938.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-236" title="East End Girl Dancing the Lambeth Walk 1938" src="http://myskinblog.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/east-end-girl-dancing-the-lambeth-walk-1938.jpg" alt="© Bill Brandt Archive Ltd " width="397" height="470" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">© Bill Brandt Archive Ltd </p></div>
<p>Dimesso fra il ’26 e il ’27, si trasferisce a Vienna, forse inseguendo l’idea di una cura psicoanalitica, forse soltanto per raggiungere uno dei suoi tre fratelli, Rolf, che là ha intrapreso la propria carriera di grafico; sarà questi a presentarlo alla dottoressa Eugenie Schwarzwald, noto personaggio dell’intellighenzia viennese, che spinge il giovane Bill a dedicarsi alla fotografia trovandogli un impiego presso lo studio dell’amica ritrattista Greta Kolliner.<br />
Frequentando casa Schwarzwald, Brandt ha modo d’incontrare l’élite culturale del tempo, fra cui Ezra Pound, con l’aiuto del quale diventerà assistente nello studio di Man Ray a Parigi. Presso il celebre fotografo e artista rimane solo tre mesi, durante i quali non arricchisce il suo bagaglio professionale di nuove nozioni, ma riceve piuttosto un fortissimo impulso creativo. Comincia a lavorare come freelance.</p>
<div id="attachment_234" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 407px"><a href="http://myskinblog.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/03_copy_1.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-234" title="© Bill Brandt Archive Ltd " src="http://myskinblog.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/03_copy_1.jpg" alt="© Bill Brandt Archive Ltd " width="397" height="450" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">© Bill Brandt Archive Ltd </p></div>
<p>In Gran Bretagna mette piede per la prima volta solo nel ’31; dapprima per un breve viaggio, poi per stabilirsi definitivamente a Londra. Prenderà lezioni di dizione a lungo per nascondere il proprio accento tedesco, senza mai riuscirci del tutto.<br />
Mosso da un interesse genuino verso il sociale, egli lavora intensamente per dare alle stampe un libro fotografico dal titolo &#8220;The English at Home&#8221;, il quale, uscito per la prima volta nel ’35, urta la sensibilità britannica mostrando troppo esplicitamente le disparità di classe che la &#8220;Depressione&#8221; ha acuito. La mancanza di consenso è tale da farlo ritirare, ma la sua riedizione dopo un anno, in un mutato clima politico, fa del libro un trampolino di lancio per la carriera di Brandt.<br />
Così nel 1938, Arts Métiers Graphiques pubblica subito sia in Gran Bretagna sia in Francia il suo &#8220;A night in London&#8221;, che si preannuncia un sicuro successo, anche perché considerato come la versione inglese del volume di Brassaï &#8220;Paris by Night&#8221;.<br />
Frattanto Brandt ha già incontrato Tom Hopkinson e Stefan Lorant; entrambi impegnati politicamente, attraverso il loro lavoro editoriale con le riviste Lilliput, Picture Post e Weekly illustrated, costoro giudicano favorevolmente il lavoro del fotografo e gli affidano molti incarichi, che egli può svolgere in piena libertà artistica: nonostante le sue immagini contengano sempre qualcosa in più che la pura cronaca della realtà, diventa fotogiornalista. Le sue fotografie vengono pubblicate anche su Harper’s Bazaar.<br />
Il suo impegno sociale è costante, e una nuova incisiva tappa nella sua denuncia del malessere di quel triste periodo, è rappresentata dalle fotografie che scatta agli abitanti del nord industriale dell’Inghilterra.</p>
<div id="attachment_229" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 430px"><a href="http://myskinblog.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/belgravia_1951.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-229" title="© Bill Brandt Archive Ltd " src="http://myskinblog.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/belgravia_1951.jpg" alt="© Bill Brandt Archive Ltd " width="420" height="467" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">© Bill Brandt Archive Ltd </p></div>
<p>La fotografia ha, in questo momento storico, lo scopo di una lotta contro il capitalismo fondato sulle sperequazioni di classe, e contro i condizionamenti repressivi della borghesia, tipica del pensiero surrealista. La protesta non è però portata sempre avanti con modalità plateali e manifestamente provocatorie, è bensì spesso sottile e pervasiva, nell&#8217;apparente innocenza degli accostamenti delle immagini come accade in Bill Brandt (Amburgo1904/ Londra1983) e nei suoi nudi, espressione di un nuovo modo di vedere. Sembra persa ogni possibilità di esistere, annientata sotto miraggi di cumuli di carbone. Sono anni di crisi profonda e la guerra è sempre più imminente. Guerra devastante, guerra che prevede anche la distruzione di obiettivi civili. E Londra è bombardata. Apprezzato per la sua attività di reporter, impegnato allo scoppio della seconda Guerra Mondiale, per conto del Ministero dell&#8217;informazione britannico, egli documenta la condizione dei londinesi durante il blackout ed all&#8217;interno dei rifugi approntati per far fronte ai raid aerei tedeschi. Ma di queste devastazioni Brandt fotografa solo i silenzi e i chiari di luna, una popolazione nascosta e unita nella notte, che aspetta la pace. Ancora una volta si tratta di immagini evocative, non descrittive: Brandt non racconta la guerra, la evoca.</p>
<div id="attachment_230" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 430px"><a href="http://myskinblog.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/micheldever_1948.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-230" title="© Bill Brandt Archive Ltd " src="http://myskinblog.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/micheldever_1948.jpg" alt="© Bill Brandt Archive Ltd " width="420" height="497" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">© Bill Brandt Archive Ltd </p></div>
<p>Poi il conflitto finisce e Brandt, come molti altri artisti di quel periodo, si allontana da quella società che in fin dei conti la guerra ha creato. Si auspica un ritorno a condizioni originarie, alla natura, all&#8217;uomo, alla terra… a luoghi e a tempi in cui la civiltà foriera di conflitti bellici ancora non era stata creata. Ne derivano le immagini di sapore neoromantico delle campagne inglesi, i luoghi delle sorelle Brönte, di Jane Austen, Thomas Hardy. Il paesaggio diventa espressione di sentimenti interiori. Le condizioni atmosferiche, come in epoca romantica, si fanno espressioni dell&#8217;anima.</p>
<div id="attachment_235" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 430px"><a href="http://myskinblog.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/campden_hill_1947.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-235" title="Campden_Hill_1947" src="http://myskinblog.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/campden_hill_1947.jpg" alt="© Bill Brandt Archive Ltd " width="420" height="498" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">© Bill Brandt Archive Ltd </p></div>
<p>La fotografia è in lui risultato otticomeccanico della concezione spaziale prospettica occidentale. La prospettiva non solo è la componente fondamentale della fotografia, ma è irrimediabilmente data insieme alla fotografia. Non è un caso che Bill Brandt titoli la sua prima raccolta di nudi (1961) &#8220;Perspective of Nudes&#8221;, perché proprio la prospettiva è il soggetto sotteso a ogni fotogramma. Usando obiettivi grandangolari molto spinti Brandt ritrae donne inquietanti, dai volti assenti e dai corpi allungati,esasperati. Donne mute, distanti sono rinchiuse in stanze opprimenti estremamente eloquenti che raccontano gli incubi e le paure del fotografo. Ricordano la stanza di Alice nel paese delle meraviglie ma nello stesso tempo evocano in maniera sottile il terrore e l&#8217;orrore di Bacon. Sono palcoscenici dell&#8217;inconscio in cui Brandt mette in scena se stesso, dove paura ed erotismo si confondono e Balthus lascia il posto a Hitchcock.<br />
La guerra aveva precluso molti orizzonti, distrutto molti ideali; aveva isolato non solo le istituzioni culturali, ma anche la nazione coi suoi abitanti. Ecco dunque le stanze chiuse, emblema di un isolamento generalizzato. Non è forse un caso che con l&#8217;allontanarsi dello spettro della guerra, negli anni Cinquanta, inizino a profilarsi nuovi orizzonti, questa volta aperti, infiniti e illuminati da raggi di sole e di speranza che nelle stanze non erano mai penetrati. Si hanno i celebri nudi in esterno in cui frammenti di corpi femminili si confondono nel paesaggio, diventando tutt&#8217;uno con esso. La macchina fotografica inquadra sezioni di corpo trasformandole, rendendole &#8220;altro&#8221;. Si creano nuovi paesaggi, paesaggi surreali, ibridi.<br />
Il surrealismo brandtiano qui si fa dichiarato, esplicito. La fotografia di nudo coinvolgerà Brandt incessantemente per quindici anni, fotografando questi interni con una Kodak ad obiettivo grandangolare ed apertura piccola, l&#8217;artista reinventerà il nudo. È probabile che questa passione sia nata parallelamente al suo interesse per il cinematografo ed il fascino esercitato su di lui dal cinema surrealista. Sulla sua immaginazione agì profondamente una particolare esperienza cinematografica: quella di &#8220;Quarto potere&#8221; di Orson Welles. I sinistri ed avvolgenti interni, dove pareti, pavimenti, e soffitti si allontanavano via via dallo spettatore, spinsero Brand nella sua sperimentazione circa la fotografia d&#8217;interni.</p>
<div id="attachment_231" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 395px"><a href="http://myskinblog.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/20_copy_1.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-231" title="© Bill Brandt Archive Ltd " src="http://myskinblog.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/20_copy_1.jpg" alt="© Bill Brandt Archive Ltd " width="385" height="450" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">© Bill Brandt Archive Ltd </p></div>
<p>Più tardi per i suoi esperimenti di nudo Brandt si servì delle spiagge dell&#8217;Inghilterra meridionale e della Francia del nord. Per raggiungere effetti simili, apprese anche ad usare una Hasselblad con relativo bagaglio di obiettivi. Per queste fotografie sarebbe preferibile evitare il termine &#8220;distorsione&#8221;, più adatti ai nudi realizzati da Andrè Kertesz con specchi deformanti.</p>
<div id="attachment_232" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 430px"><a href="http://myskinblog.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/east_sussex_1957.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-232" title="© Bill Brandt Archive Ltd " src="http://myskinblog.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/east_sussex_1957.jpg" alt="© Bill Brandt Archive Ltd " width="420" height="459" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">© Bill Brandt Archive Ltd </p></div>
<p>Negli ultimi anni di vita, affetto da lungo tempo da diabete, la sua salute è fragile. A causa di un glaucoma, la vista continua a peggiorare rendendogli sempre più difficile quel controllo delle proprie stampe, cui tiene da sempre ad occuparsi personalmente. Bill Brandt muore a Londra nel Dicembre del 1983, dopo una breve malattia, lasciando Noya, ultima delle tre mogli, dalle quali non ha avuto figli. Le sue ceneri vengono sparse a Holland Park, dove amava recarsi a passeggiare ogni giorno.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Desde Konrad Adenauer hasta Ángela Merkel todos los cancilleres de la historia de la República Feder]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-187" title="Mueller_Brandt" src="http://lauralucchini.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/mueller_brandt.jpg?w=300" alt="Mueller_Brandt" width="300" height="233" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Desde Konrad Adenauer hasta Ángela Merkel todos los cancilleres de la historia de la República Federal tienen un retrato sacado por la cámara de Konrad Rufus Müller (Bonn,1940). Las imágenes íntimas de este artista precoz están expuestas en Berlín hasta el próximo 4 de octubre en la exposición <a class="enlaceexterno" href="http://www.co-berlin.info/co-neu/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&#38;task=blogsection&#38;id=15&#38;Itemid=33#mce_temp_url#">The Chancellors. From Adenauer to Merkel</a>. El blanco y negro, <strong>las caras serias y el bajo perfil de las fotos de la muestra, chocan con los carteles electorales que siguen ocupando la ciudad dos días después de las elecciones</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Müller debió de tener algún tipo de vocación para sacar imágenes del poder. A principio de los 60, con ocasión de un viaje organizado a Roma, logró sacar una figura del Papa Juan XXIII durante la celebración de una misa. Fue su primer retrato.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Estudiante de arte y pintura en Berlín tenía fascinación por las fotos del primer Canciller alemán, Konrad Adenauer, el modelo en el que Merkel dice inspirarse, el gran responsable de la <a class="enlaceexterno" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/KfW_Bankengruppe">Wiederaufbau</a>, la reconstrucción de la ciudad destruida por la segunda Guerra Mundial. <strong>Müller empezó a dibujar de manera obsesiva este rostro marcado por las arrugas y algunas manchas de la vejez</strong>. Reproducía las imágenes del anciano más grandes que al natural, en ejemplares que se hicieron famosos y que se exponen ahora en Berlin, en la <a href="http://www.co-berlin.info/co-neu/web/Aktuell/start.php">CO Gallery.</a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Logró ser recibido por Adenauer en 1965, 18 meses antes de que el estadista alemán muriera. Desde entonces el joven Müller frecuentó su casa en numerosas ocasiones. <strong>Retrató sus manos, su rostro, sus gestos, pero también su habitación y el estudio de Rhöndorf</strong>, donde el ex canciller estaba componiendo sus memorias.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Su trabajo excepcional con Adenauer, al que está dedicada la parte más grande de la exposición, le dio acceso también a los otros cancilleres. Fue recibido por Ludwig Ehrard y Kurt Georg Kiesinger. Pero fue Willy Brandt, padre de la socialdemocracia alemana, el primero al que pudo retratar antes, durante y después de ser canciller. <strong>Las fotos de Willy Brandt son distintas de las de Adenauer: son más cercanas</strong>. El canciller aparece siempre despeinado y con la mirada atenta. En una se ve el detalle de sus dedos que juegan con un palito de madera.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-192" title="Schröder" src="http://lauralucchini.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/schroder1.jpg?w=225" alt="Schröder" width="225" height="300" />Helmut Schmidt, como ya se sabe, no suelta el cigarro, ni siquiera ahora que tiene 90 años y sigue escribiendo y apareciendo en televisión. Tal cual aparece en las imágenes de Müller, sólo o acompañado en una charla por Gerard Schröder. A este último, más allá de los retratos clásicos, <strong>el fotógrafo logró pillarle desde lejos apoyado en una columna del Bundeskanzleramt, riéndose con su mujer</strong> Doris Schröder Kopf.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">También fijó en el tiempo la agenda personal de Helmut Kohl, el canciller cristianodemócrata, que gobernó durante la caída del muro y quien introdujo a Ángela Merkel en la vida política. Kohl aparece primero sentado con Clinton y luego en un jardín con Gorbachov, sin embargo <strong>es su manera precisa de organizar la agenda lo que muestra más de él</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Destaca el retrato que sacó el pasado mes de mayo de la cancillera Ángela Merkel por ser mucho menos íntimo que los otros en los que los cancilleres aparecen con todos sus defectos estéticos. Y es que Müller, quien <strong>fuera de Alemania retrató también a Vladimir Putin y François Mitterand</strong>, nunca tomó fotos en ocasiones oficiales, sino que lo hizo en la intimidad de lo cotidiano, y quiso documentar el poder a través de los rostros más que en los encuentros de masas. Quizás tenga todavía tiempo, de enseñar al mundo el lado humano de la reelegida canciller.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:left;">Elena and Michael had a beautiful wedding in early September. It was small, relaxed, and pleasant. There wasn&#8217;t  too much stress and anxiety like many weddings tend to have. Just a beautiful day in Fish Creek Park with family and friends. I was glad to be there and happy with the results. I got some really great shots.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:left;">Liebe Besucher,</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">wie ihr wisst, ist Helmut Brandt MdB unser Kandidat für die Bundestagswahl am 27. September 2009.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Wir haben von Euch bereits viel positiven Zuspruch auf Grund seines Engagements in Stolberg und Umgebung erhalten (siehe <strong><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/JUstolberg/HelmutBrandtAufTour#" target="_blank">Fotoalbum Helmut Brandt auf Tour</a></strong>)</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">
<div id="attachment_536" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><img class="size-full wp-image-536" title="Merkel und Brandt" src="http://justolberg.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/merkel-und-brand.png" alt="Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel mit Helmut Brandt MdB" width="450" height="301" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Unser Team 2009: Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel mit Helmut Brandt MdB</p></div>
<p style="text-align:left;">Interessant für uns Jugendliche ist natürlich die Frage:<span style="color:#ff9900;"> </span></p>
<h2 style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#ff9900;">WARUM BRANDT?</span></h2>
<p style="text-align:left;">
<p style="text-align:left;">Die Antworten sind klar:</p>
<p><strong>ERSTENS</strong>: Mit Helmut Brandt kann man sich darauf verlassen, dass es auf <strong>INHALTE </strong>ankommt.</p>
<ul>
<li>Mit Helmut Brandt setzt man auf <strong>BERUFLICHE UND POLITISCHE ERFAHRUNG</strong> statt auf blinden Aktionismus und politischen Leichtsinn.</li>
<li>Er blendet nicht mit jugendlichem Auftreten, sondern engagiert sich <strong>KOMPETENT UND EFFEKTIV FÜR DIE JUGEND.</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Das ist es, was wir brauchen!</p>
<p><strong>ZWEITENS: </strong>Die Jugend von heute braucht <strong>ARBEIT</strong>, um in Zukunft ein gutes Leben führen zu können.</p>
<ul>
<li>Im Kreis und besonders in Stolberg gibt es großes Potential, beispielsweise im Tourismus oder in Ansiedlung von neuen Unternehmen (siehe Camp Astrid).</li>
<li>Die ganze StädteRegion hat auf diesem Gebiet einiges zu bieten.</li>
</ul>
<p>Helmut Brandt hat dieses Potential erkannt und setzt sich in Berlin für die Zukunft unserer Wirtschaft ein, damit wir auch in Zukunft Arbeit finden und von dieser leben können.<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>DRITTENS</strong>:  Für die Zukunft unserer Jugend sind <strong>BILDUNG UND FORSCHUNG</strong> zentrale Themen.</p>
<ul>
<li> Deutschlands Stärken sind seit langem Wissenschaft und Forschung. Das gilt für uns hier besonders, da wir in unmittelbarer Nähe zu den Hochschulen in Aachen und dem Forschungszentrum in Jülich wohnen und arbeiten.</li>
<li>Nicht umsonst ist Helmut Brandt also ordentliches Mitglied im Ausschuss für Bildung, Forschung und Technikfolgenabschätzung im Bundestag, wo er als sich als unsere Stimme für Technologien und Forschungen einsetzt, die <strong>UNSERE ZUKUNFT</strong> verändern könnten.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>VIERTENS:</strong> Helmut Brandt steht für den Ausgleich von Staats- und Einzelinteressen. Und nicht für völlig unrealistische Forderungen.</p>
<ul>
<li>Als ordentliches Mitglied im Innenausschuss, war er es, der geholfen hat, das gesellschaftliche Zusammenleben mit zu gestalten und dabei die im Grundgesetz gewahrten Rechte für jedermann zu achten.</li>
<li>Helmut Brandt steht für <strong>GESELLSCHAFTLICHE UND SOZIALE SICHERHEIT</strong>.</li>
</ul>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/kh9bn7MVT-4&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/kh9bn7MVT-4&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Die Sache ist klar. Helmut Brandt hat in der Vergangenheit viel für uns getan. Er weiß was er tut. Und er wird sich auch in Zukunft für uns einsetzen.</p>
<p>Für eine starke Region und unsere Zukunft.</p>
<h2><span style="color:#ff9900;">DARUM BRANDT.</span></h2>
<p><strong>Erststimme: Helmut Brandt<br />
Zweitstimme: CDU</strong></p>
<p>PS: Heute ist für euch Helmut Brandts<a href="http://www.helmut-brandt.de/portal/index.php/wahlkreis/buergersprechstunde" target="_blank"> Sprechstunde in Stolberg,</a> wenn noch irgendwas offen ist -&#62; hingehen! <strong><br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:left;">Despite some poor weather and last minute changes, Matt and Sheri still had a beautiful wedding. I was happy to be apart of it.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Though we were mostly indoors, we did step outside for some formal shots which I am really happy with. I was also able to get some fantastic &#8220;getting ready&#8221; shots while the makeup was being done.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:left;">Wow. It has been too long since I updated my blog.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">It&#8217;s been on my &#8216;to do&#8217; list for quite a while now. But it just keeps getting pushed back. Anyway, I though I&#8217;d display some of my work from this summer.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">I was lucky enough to cover the Calgary Folk Music Festival and Virgin Fest &#8216;09 for FFWD Weekly. On with the music festival photos:</p>
<p><a href="http://rbphoto.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/music_blog_09_0001.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-586 alignnone" title="Music_Blog_09_0001" src="http://rbphoto.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/music_blog_09_0001.jpg?w=468" alt="Music_Blog_09_0001" width="468" height="310" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">The Decemberists headlining Friday night at the Folk Fest.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Die SPD und ihr abge&#8221;brandt&#8221;er Ex-Stadtdirektor in Duisburg schrecken vor nichts zurück ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignnone" title="SPD-Wahlkampf in Duisburg" src="http://www.hbn-forum.de/img/spd_unmoral2.jpg" alt="" width="427" height="781" /></p>
<p><big><strong>Die SPD und ihr abge&#8221;brandt&#8221;er Ex-Stadtdirektor in Duisburg schrecken vor nichts zurück um die drohende Wahlniederlage abzuwenden: junge Mädels mit Hotpants sollen die Bürger zur SPD-Wahl verführen!</strong></big></p>
<p>Überhaupt versuchen die örtlichen aSozialdemokraten mit einer Materialschlacht sondergleichen ihre bevorstehende Niederlage abzuwenden! Nicht nur, dass an jeder Strassenecke übergroße Plakatwände für den gescheiterten Ex-Stadtdirektor werben, auch die Briefkästen werden alle paar Tage mit SPD-Broschüren beliefert!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="SPD-Wahlkampf in Duisburg" src="http://www.hbn-forum.de/img/spd_unmoral3.jpg" alt="" width="427" height="569" /></p>
<p><strong>Das ist ja auch noch Wahlkampf wie man ihn wohl akzeptieren muss, aber dass die örtliche SPD und ihr Ex-Stadtdirektor nun auch zu solchen Mitteln greifen und mit Sexappeal politische Werbung betreiben zeigt nocheinmal den Niveauverlust der heutigen SPD.</strong></p>
<p>Zur gleichen Zeit waren heute auch die anderen Parteien auf der Duisburger Kö mit ihren Ständen vertreten. Ich war natürlich auch mit der DAL da. Ein Wahlkämpfer vom &#8220;Junges Duisburg&#8221; (JuDu) meinte denn auch, dass die Mädchen wahrscheinlich gemietet waren, denn inhaltlich sagen konnten sie nichts zu ihrem verteilten Wahlkampfmaterial!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="SPD-Wahlkampf in Duisburg" src="http://www.hbn-forum.de/img/spd_unmoral.jpg" alt="" width="427" height="822" /><br />
<strong><br />
Ich finde es ja nur noch traurig wie heruntergekommen und unmoralisch die Duisburger SPD geworden ist. Da schickt man irgendwelche gemieteten jungen Hostessen auf die Kö, die nur lächeln und Bein zeigen brauchen um die Bürger vergessen zu machen wer Duisburg nach vielen Jahrzehnten absoluter Alleinherrschaft an den Rande des Abgrundes gebracht hat.</strong></p>

<p><big><strong>Da jetzt ja überall Wahlplakate rumhängen habe ich mir mal gedacht man sollte dem Ex-Stadtdirektor und Möchtegern-OB Brandt einmal ein wahrhaftiges Wahlplakat spendieren!</strong></big></p>
<p>Damit auch mal allen Wählern klar ist, dass bei diesem Brandt von &#8220;neuer Kraft&#8221; nicht die Rede sein kann!<br />
<strong><br />
Was soll auch &#8220;neu&#8221; sein an einem Vertreter der alten jahrzehntelangen SPD-Herrschaft in dieser Stadt mit all den bekannten negativen Folgen.<br />
Wahrscheinlich wirbt der alte Stadtdirektor auch deswegen nicht mit seiner langjährigen Erfahrung in der Stadtverwaltung weil dann jeder sofort begreift wer für den Niedergang Duisburgs zu Zeiten Zielings verantwortlich war!</strong></p>
<p>Auch wenn dieser ironische Plakatentwurf letztes Jahr von mir erstellt wurde so passt er gerade jetzt in die Wahlkampfzeit!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>When traveling through main street Brandt last Saturday morning, you would never realize that the town has a population just over 100. People in their lawn chairs lined the street with a cool beverage in one hand and a camera in the other. They were in town for the 125th Celebration Parade, but that wasn&#8217;t the only attraction in Brandt that weekend. <a href="http://deuelco.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/brandtdaze1.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-453 alignright" title="brandtdaze1" src="http://deuelco.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/brandtdaze1.jpg?w=300" alt="From left to right: Krista Harringa, Mia Berndt, Hadyn Weisner, Morgan Kjenstad" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>The celebration started off Friday with the Miss Brandt Pageant held in the Highland Lutheran Church. 17 girls in three different age groups strutted their stuff down the runway. A talent competition was held during the pageant for those girls who were interested. Morgan Kjenstad came away with the crown and title of Miss Brandt, Krista Harringa won Junior Miss Brandt, and Hadyn Weisner&#8217;s name was drawn for Li&#8217;l Miss Brandt. With a big smile and a multicultural twist on a popular tune, little Mia Berndt was the winner of the talent competition.</p>
<p>After the crowns had been presented and the photos snapped, everyone headed down to the auditorium for some laughs. Comedian Susan Vass along with The Church Ladies provided the entertainment for the rest of Friday night, followed by an amazing fireworks display put on by the Town of Brandt. Many in attendance stated that the display rivaled that of a larger town such as Watertown or even Sioux Falls!</p>
<p>Saturday morning everyone was bright eyed and bushy tailed (or maybe not&#8230;) at the Pancake Feed sponsored by the Brandt Fire Department. The parade followed soon after and was a major highlight of the weekend. Over 100 entries made their way down main<a href="http://deuelco.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/brandtdaze2.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-454" title="brandtdaze2" src="http://deuelco.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/brandtdaze2.jpg?w=300" alt="brandtdaze2" width="298" height="198" /></a> street throwing candy, cozies, and coins. The Brandt Cafe had lunch available for a very reasonable price, and celebration goers spent the rest of the day socializing in the sun. A beanbag tournament was definitely the main event of the day with 30 teams competing, followed by a homing pigeon race and the ever popular &#8220;Tootsie Pageant.&#8221;  A reunion was held for those who graduated from Brandt High School. The day came to an end with everyone getting their groove on at the dance.</p>
<p>A Sunday morning service was highly attended at the Highland Lutheran Church. After a morning of songs and worship, everyone headed down to the newly remodeled Fire Hall where a pork loin sandwich feed was held. The vault was cracked open and remnants of the past were brought back to life. A few items included were the centennial flag, old newspapers, and a picture of the youngest resident in town during the Centennial Celebration Lindsey Kleinjan (Kjenstad).</p>
<p>Following all the excitement, the town of Brandt settled back in to something familiar. Softball. Both young and old were involved in the softball games of Sunday afternoon. Young teams from Clear Lake st<a href="http://deuelco.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/brandtdaze3.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-456" title="brandtdaze3" src="http://deuelco.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/brandtdaze3.jpg?w=300" alt="brandtdaze3" width="300" height="200" /></a>arted the day, but a Co-Ed round robin took up most of the day. Whether you were 19 or only thought you were 19, you could take part in the games. 4 teams were involved, including teams of two local families. The theme for the day was &#8220;Take Me Out to the Ballgame.&#8221; Pictures of past and present teams filled the picnic shelter, along with a ridiculous amount of trophies. Brandt All-Stars were honored at the reunion, and Jim Anderson threw out an honorary pitch.</p>
<p>Today Brandt is back to normal. The only ballgames are held on Tuesday nights and the beanbags have been packed away, but residents of the town will probably never forget the 125th Celebration and are already looking forward to 25 years from now.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Dans le cadre du Off des <strong>Rencontres d&#8217;Arles</strong>, on a déjà évoqué une expo se déroulant dans un hôtel à l&#8217;occasion d&#8217;une revue des galeries présentes mais ce n&#8217;est pas tout.</p>
<p>Je passe sur l&#8217;expo de l&#8217;<strong>Hôtel de la Muette</strong> (15 rue des Suisses) qui ne ressemble à rien: cela s&#8217;intitulait, dans le dépliant, le &#8220;Chapeau dans le monde, 22ème salon international d&#8217;art photographique&#8221; et on voit quelques malheureuses photo amateur de types un verre à la main. A oublier. Je passe aussi sur <strong>Vincent Guis</strong> (série <em>Shooting Barbie</em>) à l&#8217;<strong>Hôtel Rhodania</strong> tant les séries sur Barbie sont nombreuses, c&#8217;est presque un exercice de style que pourrait financer le fabricant.</p>
<p>L&#8217;<strong>Hôtel de amphithéâtre</strong> (5 rue diderot, après 14h) montre quatre auteurs et la sélection est de qualité même si on reste un peu sur sa faim avec <strong>François Burgun</strong> (<a href="http://www.fburgun.com/">ici</a>) car il s&#8217;agit de trois diaporamas sur de tout petits écrans LCD (séries <em>exempté</em>, <em>face à la mer</em> et une série sur New York). <strong>Frank Boulanger</strong> (<a href="http://www.frontal.fr/portraits/">ici</a>) nous livre une typologie de  barbus en petits formats et <strong>Vincent Mallea</strong> (série <em> fueria</em>) montre également une certaine attirance pour les hommes virils avec des  scènes vaguement mythologiques mettant en scène des  éphèbes musclés : il s&#8217;agit de montages photos marouflés et vernis qui donnent ainsi l&#8217;illusion d&#8217;un tableau et le rendu est stupéfiant (son site, périmé, est <a href="http://www.vincentmallea.com/">ici</a>). On termine avec une esthétique plus classique et un changement de génération avec <strong>Yvette Troispoux</strong> (morte en 2007 à 93 ans) et ses petits noir et blanc de scènes de Paris et ses portraits de photographes.</p>
<p>L&#8217;<strong>Hôtel nord pinus </strong>ne montre pas une exposition à proprement parler mais plutôt quelques pièces de grands photographes (Dominique Isserman, Peter Beard, Peter Lindbergh pour un extrait de sa série sur Beauduc exposée à Arles l&#8217;an passé) et une une série de <strong>Harry Gruyaert</strong> (<em>rivages</em>) qui est moins connu mais membre de Magnum (l&#8217;illustration ci-dessous fait le couverture de son livre, Rivages).</p>

<p><strong>L&#8217;Hôtel du forum</strong> invitait le <strong>Museo Ken Damy </strong>de <strong>Brescia </strong>(leur site <a href="http://www.museokendamy.com/">ici</a>) qui présentait un <em>elogio della bellezza</em> (éloge de la beauté) avec un pot-pourri de photographies de femmes réalisées par les plus grands noms (<strong>Robert Mapplethorpe, Peter Beard, Bill Brandt, Joel Witkin, Desiree Dolron, Flor Garduno, Helmut Newton, Irina Ionesco, Mario Cravo Neto, Saudek, Betttina Rheims</strong>). Il s&#8217;agit parfois de vintages, parfois de copies numériques. Une salle contenait aussi un grand nombre de livres et la revue éditée par le musée (photonews &#8211; 4 euros). Mais en fin de compte, je me suis demandé si le musée vendait ou pas, sachant qu&#8217;il y avait quand même deux filles du musée qui assuraient la présence. Quoi qu&#8217;il en soit, l&#8217;expo était un beau condensé.</p>
