This past year I've been shooting more than ever, and more than ever I've been shooting all over the globe. I lost count on the amount of sunsets, sunrises, moonrises, starry nights, cloudy nights, hyperlapses, timelapses, image sequences,... I captured, compiled and edited. After weeks of editing and reviewing and re-editing after input from friends and colleagues I finally finished my Motion Timelapse 2013 showreel. I shot well over 100000 images inbetween Belgium and Australia, using unreleased footage that was shot from over a year ago up until last week. The songs used in this video belong to Kill Paris (Baby come back) and Steven Price (Aurora borealis). All images were shot on Canon cameras, color corrected with Lightroom and LRTimelapse, compiled in After Effects to 4K UltraHD footage and edited in Final Cut Pro X. A list of my gear for the gearheads: Canon 5D MkIII Canon 600D/Rebel T3i Canon 17-40L Canon 24-105L Canon 70-200L 2,8 IS II Tokina 116 Yongnuo intervalometers Magic Lantern Unified Macbook Pro Retina Manfrotto tripods Seagate, Western Digital and Samsung 1TB mobile harddrives.

The Sydney-based photographer Leila Jeffreys says, "As I've grown, I've watched the human population explode worldwide so I wanted to remind us all about the 'little people' that also share the planet. Like us they search for food and shelter, they form relationships, they raise offspring, they defend their territory, they play and they sing. They are magnificent creatures that enrich our lives if you stop to notice them and I believe it's our responsibility to ensure they will always have a home in the wild."

Eyes as Big as Plates started out as a play on characters and protagonists from Norwegian folklore with the Norwegian photographer Karoline Hjorth and Finnish photography Riitta Ikonen.
The series has since moved on to exploring the mental landscape of the neighborly and pragmatic Finns. In June 2012 Finnish senior citizens modelled in the wilderness of south and eastern Finland.

More than 100 painters worked together to create the 12 oil paintings per-second animation for this full-length movie on the last days of Vincent Van Gogh directed by Poland-based Dorota Kobiela.
“Loving Vincent is an investigation delving into the life and controversial death of Vincent Van Gogh, one of the world’s most beloved painters, as told through his paintings and by the characters that inhabit them. The intrigue unfolds through interviews with the characters closest to Vincent and through dramatic reconstructions of the events leading up to his death.”

Berryman
by W. S. Merwin
I will tell you what he told me
in the years just after the war
as we then called
the second world war
don’t lose your arrogance yet he said
you can do that when you’re older
lose it too soon and you may
merely replace it with vanity
just one time he suggested
changing the usual order
of the same words in a line of verse
why point out a thing twice
he suggested I pray to the Muse
get down on my knees and pray
right there in the corner and he
said he meant it literally
it was in the day before the beard
and the drink but he was deep
in tides of his own through which he sailed
chin sideways and head tilted like a tacking sloop
he was far older than the dates allowed for
much older than I was he was in his thirties
he snapped down his nose with an accent
I think he had affected in England
as for publishing he advised me
to paper my walls with rejection slips
his lips and the bones of his long fingers trembled
with the vehemence of his views about poetry
he said the great presence
that permitted everything and transmuted it
in poetry was passion
passion was genius and he praised movement and invention
I had hardly begun to read
I asked how can you ever be sure
that what you write is really
any good at all and he said you can’t
you can’t you can never be sure
you die without knowing
whether anything you wrote was any good
if you have to be sure don’t write

The Ecclesiastical History of the English People (Historia Ecclesiastica Gentis Anglorum) by the Venerable Bede written in the 8th century is a key original source on Anglo-Saxon history and in the formation of the English national identity.
French photographer Genaro Bardy tells the Daily Mail:
It turns out there is a moment in the year when streets are totally empty, when people are home or away, when nobody is partying all night long. That moment is Christmas. Between London Bridge and Piccadilly Circus I saw no one, no cars. The city was truly asleep. Very long exposure could erase people walking, although imperfectly, but car lights would ruin any picture. Between 11:00 pm and 4:00 am, it’s pretty hard to find 20 to 30 seconds slots without any cars. But starting at 4:00 am it’s truly magical, almost no one is in the streets.
