Bright Side Of The Moon

Montserrat, El montseny y Alguna Vision Mas

2009-11-05T08:35:00.003+01:00

Cada dia me divierte mas salir a disparar mi cámara y captar paisajes y momentos irrepetibles, pero como mejor lo paso es trabajando los negativos para darles un lustre diferente. Como no podía ser de otra manera, para gustos, colores, y no a todo el mundo le gusta ver una transformación radical de una foto. Yo lo tengo bastante claro, una buena foto con un minimo de retoque sigue siendo una buena foto, pero tal como sale de la camara suele ser pobre en contraste y niveles, hay que meterle mano con algun programa de retoque, y ahi esta lo divertido.

Como ya escribi en el anterior post meses a, tengo algo abandonado el blog, la verdad, es que estoy dedicado casi en exclusiva a flickr, pero como no es cuestion de que se pierda esto, voy a poner algunas de las ultimas fotos, muchas de ellas ni siquiera abiertas en flickr.

Mas divertimentos fotograficos

2009-02-27T19:38:00.002+01:00

Con algunas fotos con las que creo no voy a conseguir demasiado, intento divertirme y darles una vision diferente. Supongo que como todo arte, la fotografia intenta dar una vision "no real" de la "realidad". Cualquier trozo de realidad es supceptible de dar una buena imagen, solo es cuestion de buscarle el mejor tratamiento, dentro de los limitados conocimientos que uno tiene, y experimentar sin miedo. Le comentaba a un visitante del blog, que cuando pintaba, me era muy dificil plasmar esa "realidad" con los pinceles, con la fotografia es mas sencillo, y no me estreso tanto como con los oleos ante un liezo en blanco.

Jefferson Starship - Live At B.B. King´s Club

2009-02-11T20:49:00.001+01:00

Jefferson.Starship.-.B.B.King's.Blues.Club.Vol.Four.(3CDs.2008).wv

This is the fourth in the new, brilliant series of Jefferson Starship liverecordings, "Mick's Picks". And this is time it's an almost brand new show, from 9/9/07, at one of their favorite venues B.B. King's Bluesclub in N.Y..Where quite a few of their peers still draw capacity crowds, Paul Kantner & Co. seem happy to play adventurous and inventive Music for smaller audiences.

The show is primarily chosen for it's unique setlist. Starting off with a series of Airplane classics, mainly from "Surrealistic Pillow", and it's of course always a treat to hear these legendary psychedelic songs in new, fresh arrangements. Then drifting into a string of those gorgous, latin-tinged Marty Balin lovesongs, a genre few masters better than him. In fact Marty is in great form throughout, as leadvocalist that is, for his harmony vocals aren't excactly spot on (and the same goes for Paul).

Second set starts off with some material from Paul's soloalbum, including the firts ever liveversion of "Millions" (from the legendary "Sunfighter" album) and "Your Mind Has left Your Body", perhaps the most intelligent and profound song ever written about the entheogenic experience. And then drifts into a string of Starship hits.

Diana Mangono makes some of those beautiful Grace Slick songs come alive, notably "Lather" and "Fast Buck Freddie". David Freiberg shines on Quicksilver's "Pride Of Man" and his own wonderful ballad "Harp Tree Lament", set to one of those poignant and touching Robert Hunter lyrics. While the versatile Slick Aquilar plays some stellar lead, a great technician with a strong psychedelic sensibility.

There's not much jamming, and the show certainly isn't flawless, with some false starts and some serious 'trainwrecks', but it's LIVE, creative, funnny and deeply fullfilling.

Mis paseos por el puerto han dado buenos frutos, por lo menos el tiempo ha acompañado y he podido disfrutar de una mañana fotografica explendida. Poco a poco voy aprendiendo a "domar" el hdr. Entiendo que haya gente a la que no le guste... pero eso es como todo, hay personas a las que solo les gusta la fotografia en blanco y negro, técnica maravillosa por otra parte.

Los paseos por Barcelona son siempre fructiferos, y hoy a hecho un dia muy agradable para pasear y hacer fotografias. tengo mas en la recamara que ire poniendo, ahora que le estoy cogiendo el gusto a las tecnicas de retoque, realmente estoy disfrutando. Las fotografias tal como salen de la camara, la mayoria de las veces les falta algo... luz, o contraste, y hay quedarle un retoque general. Comprobad como en la primera fotografia se nivelan las altas luces y las sombras, dando una imagen agradable y real.

Algun retoque

2009-01-16T22:16:00.003+01:00

He intentado una tecnica llamada Dark Look con un par de fotos que tenia en mi hd, los resultados no son malos, a ver si se puede mejorar.

Mas HDR, Mas Color

2009-01-15T20:04:00.003+01:00

La verdad es que a muchos, esta tecnica del HDR le puede resultar poco natural, pero todo es como trates la imagen y lo que espere el espectador de la vision. En la mayoria de mis fotos trato que estas realcen la realidad, no siempre lo logro, pero como diria aquel... y lo que me divierto!!

Hacia tiempo que tenia ganas de volver a coger la camara, hoy me he decidido y he paseado por Barcelona camara y tripode a cuestas. Estoy probando la tecnica HDR para dar un efecto especial a las tomas. No todas las fotos quedan bien asi, pero las pruebas no han salido mal del todo.

Paul Kantner & Grace Slick - Baron Von Tollbooth & the Chrome Nun

Paul Kantner & Grace Slick - Baron Von Tollbooth & the Chrome Nun

Kantner.Slick.Freiberg.-.Baron.Von.Tollbooth.&.The.Chrome.Nun.(1973)

1973/1997
wv.covers.

En el punto de disolución de la formación clásica de la Jefferson, despues del live "Thirty seconds over Winterland", algunos miembros de la familia Airplane junto al recien incorporado David Freiberg (Quicksilver Messenger Service" y con algunas colaboraciones de lujo como Jerry Garcia o las Pointer Sisters, editan este "Baron Von Tollbooth..", maravilloso disco entre la psicodelia y el folk, que fue el germen de lo que despues seria la continuación de la saga Jefferson con la marca Starship, ya alejados del crudo sonido que aportaban Cassady y Kaukonen, adoptando aires mas aor y "formula FM", que les reportaron buenos beneficios economicos, pero que no satisfizo las espectativas. En sus ultimos discos, la Starship ha vuelto a recuperar la energia de esos años y nos ha ofrecido dos discos maravillosos, "Windows of Heaven" y el ultimo "Trees of Liberty".

Credited to Paul Kantner, Grace Slick, and David Freiberg, Baron von Tollbooth & The Chrome Nun was the first album made by these erstwhile members of Jefferson Airplane since the breakup of that group. Like such other spin-off projects as Blows Against the Empire and Sunfighter, this one featured a supporting cast of San Francisco Bay Area musicians including present and former members of a variety of groups, such as The Grateful Dead (lead guitarist Jerry Garcia, percussionist Mickey Hart, and lyricist Robert Hunter, who wrote the words to "Harp Tree Lament"), Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (singer David Crosby), and The Flying Burrito Brothers (bassist Chris Ethridge), as well as other former members of The Airplane and future members of Jefferson Starship. The Pointer Sisters even guested on one track. Despite the co-billing, the album's guiding force was Slick, who sang on every track and wrote or co-wrote six of the ten songs, though there was still room for the unbilled Jack Traylor to write, play acoustic guitar, and sing lead vocals on the song "Flowers of the Night," a celebration of monarchial overthrows throughout history. Perhaps more outside songwriting should have been employed, since the compositions here were second-rate. The public was catching on, too: Kantner's Blows Against the Empire had reached the Top 20, but Baron von Tollbooth didn't come near the Top 100. The team would attempt one more splinter project, Slick's "solo" album Manhole, then re-organize as Jefferson Starship in 1974 with the notable return of singer/songwriter Marty Balin.

Ray Davies - Working Man's Cafe

2008-12-13T14:44:00.004+01:00

Artist: Ray Davies
Album: Working Mans Cafe
wv.

Ray Davies y los Kinks marcaron con fuerza la decada de los 60 y 70, y eran mis favoritos, junto a Beatles, Jefferson, Who... La manera de cantar y componer de Davies era diferente, comercial pero con gran calidad musical. Recuerdo que uno de los que mas me engancho fue "Arthur", disco sin desperdicio como todos los de esa epoca. Este "Working man´s Cafe" me remonta a esa epoca locual no es poco.

Ray Davies took his time crafting his first full-fledged solo album Other People's Lives, delivering it in 2006 -- a full 13 years after his last collection of original material, the Kinks' final album Phobia. Such a long gestation period seemed justified, as the album was an exquisitely written set of short stories that benefited from such exacting attention to detail, yet the length of time between Phobia and Other People's Lives also suggested that Davies would not be returning with his second solo album anytime soon. As it turns out, that wasn't the case: Davies hammered out his second album, Working Man's Café, with a speed recalling the '60s and '70s, when new Kinks albums arrived every year. Appropriately for its quick turn-around, Working Man's Café is a looser, edgier record than its predecessor -- there's polish, but the guitars and rhythms jump, there's a vitality to the performances and the songs themselves bristle with contemporary headlines, bearing references to the vanishing middle class, internet isolation, and New Orleans, the site of both Hurricane Katrina and where Davies was shot and hospitalized after defending a female friend from a mugger. Ever the contrarian, Davies doesn't dwell on his own troubles, they're weaved into part of a tapestry of vignettes of a world gone awry -- a common theme in his work perhaps (this is someone who pined for the village green in the midst of the psychedelic revolution), but such ornery nostalgia has fueled much of Davies best work, as it does here. Far from being an angry, impassioned screed against a world gone wrong (turn to Neil Young's Living with War for that), Davies writes with his signature wry, cynical eye, balancing his weary resignation with a sly wit. The songs have more bite than those on Other People's Lives, as do the performances, which makes Working Man's Café more immediate than its predecessor, yet it benefits from repeated plays as well, as those subsequent spins reveal that these 12 songs are as finally honed as those on Other People's Lives. And having these two albums arrive so quickly is proof that Ray Davies is back as a working songwriter, which is something to be celebrated.
