Gone Apeshit by Enzo Florentino

Enzo Florentino's Quickies, most of his stuff from speed painting.



Gone apeshit sticker heads! I looooove these!
It would be great to stick them inside jeepneys and Meralco posts all over the Manila.

We went out to Reena's fruit farm in Antipolo. Amazingly, Reena owns a forest and a river. Wow.

We took Miss J way out into the bamboo woods and shot her there. Well, with our cameras, of course. She didn't complain a bit, she was so patient with us until we got all the shots right. The trail was half an hour down hill and Miss J went about it in heels. I went barefoot at one point, lagging behind and catching my breath. I'm not used to hiking such steep terrain, but it seemed like a good idea for the summer.

When we got to the stream, there were little catfishes and tadpoles everywhere, but the bamboo woods was such a relaxing place. Vanessa got sick after wards complaining of forest spirits following her home. My bet is on some arthritic malaise though.

The photos are for the pre-production of a film. Vanessa's producing it and Reena's on board as well as an associate producer. It was a riot though- getting in and out of the city within the day and going home with freshly-picked papaya.

Weather Photos: Philippines + Germany

AN INTERNATIONAL PHOTO PROJECT ABOUT WEATHER, EMOTION, AND COMMUNICATING THROUGH PHOTOGRAPHY

Sets of 2 individuals use photographs to communicate with each other, sharing their feelings about the weather and its influence on emotion and mood. Combining photos from partners around the world, this blog references both weather and emotion, across geography and time. Two artists, one in NY, the other in Berlin, conceived this project for Transcultural Exchange. ( Project Description )

Just started today on the Weather Photos, my collaborative partner from Berlin is Karima Klasen.

A wonderful experiment that forces myself to constantly check and meditate on how I'm feeling. Now capturing my mood for the day in a single frame can be quite tricky. An easy approach for me is to check out what Karima is posting first and just respond to her photo.

Rediscovering Katok

Recovering an old video from the archives, a serendipitous event for the day. Katok, shot on video and intended to be a short experimental film, was never made (maybe in my head), but I never sought to complete it after losing steam.



I shot it during in my mid- twenties and looking back at it, I can't help, but laugh. Well, solid proof of how immature my work really was in my 20s. The difference I guess was not the intensity. I still have that, but the energy back then was different, nothing was calculated and stumbling along the way was part of it. There was no critical eye and you just relish everything that comes your way.



Katok (means 'knock' or also an expression for a nutjob).

I'm still friends with Krist, the actor in this video. He is a screenwriter now for Babae Ako (I am a Woman) a very steamy short film making the local rounds. He still has that waifish, heroin chic look! (Damn I'm envious!)



I can't exactly remember everyone who was there at the shoot, but I am thankful that they were there. I do remember Joy being mad at me (can't blame her- the girl loves me). Ruel for being utterly quiet, much like Buddha overseeing everything. Albert then and Albert now is in arguably the same, ma-diskarte with that cool composure he's known for. I think the huge difference with him now is that he's the most active indie film cinematographer I know. I feel we will all still be together in the end doing the same shit on film or video. Hey, we do love our shit!
