NEW: Buy high quality prints of the above photo.

In search of inspiration? :)

I recently took this photo in Braives, near Hannut in Belgium. I also made the
rough sketch. I only drew things that came to my mind when I started this
specific project... Sort of an improvisation. The letters placed randomly form
the word "PENCIL". There is "Dust" written on the flag, because photographers
always complain about dust in their lens and because earth is made of stardust...
A superhero is trying to get out of the camera, searching for new ideas, while a
smurf is having fun on a horse... A plane, a horse, a tricycle, butterflies, a bar
code, a guitar and many other objects are getting out of the camera.

This also gave me the idea of a new video series that I might be doing and
posting in the future... Thanks for your visit. The person on the left is Sebastian,
a good friend of mine. The pic is dedicated to him. If you wish, you can view
some details of this picture HERE

The above photo has been shot with the Samsung NX10, provided by Samsung
Electronics Co., Ltd.

>>> Review from THE DAILY MAIL for this picture: "The camera never lies,
or does it? The photographer's eye is met with this fantastical scene"
(Kerry Mc
Queeney, The Daily Mail, Sept. 2011)

Update: See THIS VIDEO showing some 18 Pencil Vs Camera images in
progress (with a small animation and an original musical composition).

Sunshine Flower

A poem by Peter S. Quinn

Day is coming clear as light
With its wings of inside fire
Like the morning onward bright
In its accomplishing desire
Hours drop in together close
With runs and roams of drift
Creation beautiful as the rose
In the mind to go and uplift

Summer sunshine flower
Where little dreams go by
Through the endless hour
From the deep and blue sky

Tranquil wingspan ways
Motions on a weaving stream
Flickering mirror plays
With light that timeless seem

Every look in dissolved freedom
Catching moment of dark way
Giving silhouette ad-infinitum
When its fire lights the day
Echo’s flutter in distance yield
Every growth in roots clear
Open heart in artistic field
Now the marvels have opened here

Summer morning shower
Through the day to night
Bringing soothing dower
For the new day and light

Silence flowing yellow glow
For just the two of us
In its timeless motion slow
Of light that comes across

That is ageless on wonder asking
Rising above the earth’s hill
Every instants of creation tasking
That you dream must now fulfill
Thru the seconds of their beat
Going higher then all before
On like smoke to realities treat
And opening up again a new door

This is one of your most original peices to me, I should say.
It's exactly what a camera should be. Imaginative, wild, and something that you can do ANYTHING with.

My ONLY downside is that I think some of your other work is better. The shading on this one was slightly off, I would have liked to see some realistic things too.

My favourtite part is definitely the Smurf on the horse. It made me smile, and it should make others smile too.

Of course, it is in my favourites. And allow me to say one thing:

Pencil. Most definitely pencil.
What do you think?

I LOVE this. I love all the creativity you put in this. This can inspire other artists, too.

I DO actually believe pencil could be better than camera. I took a minute to think, and I thought you can do anything you put your mind to, if you start with a pencil. :3

Everything in the drawing is so...hard to describe as one thing. I love that. Everything is a different subject!The letters, the animals, all of it! I'm impressed! (sorry if it's short, this is my first critique, I tried ^^;)

I'm speechless for the rest of this. My jaw dropped to the floor. Why don't I just go ahead and put this in my favorites? I'm excited to look at the rest!

Your pictures blow my mind. It seems like through the use of a pencil, you see things that are not seen. Blending reality and pencil into one, its unique and mind-boggling.
