On Friday we all took our very last all-day Friday trip, this time it was to Arles. Arles is a relatively large town (pop:52,000) where Van Gogh lived before he moved to the asylum in St-Remy. All through the summer Arles has a large photo exposition, with over 25 locations and all kinds of photography. It was really hot and sunny on Friday so I only had the energy to make it to a couple of sites, and spent the rest of the time chilling at a cafe. My favorite show was the photos from the New York Times Magazine. There was a whole series of celebrity portraits and they had photos of what the sets actually looked like, and then the final photoshopped image. It was really interesting to see how they changed things. below are some comparisons of images I took in Arles and paintings done by Van Gogh over 100 years ago. I hope you enjoy!
Au Revoir
