Photo Bipolar is an association of independent photographers that have come together in order to showcase their documentary photography works, and to allow the public to take a closer look at different social realities from several intimate points of view and artistic perspectives. Photo Bipolar is also a self-managed project created with the goal of promoting photography through diverse, alternative circuits; a way of divulging the discourses of young, talented photographers who work on different themes using a range of visual narratives; a way of exposing these works to the public. Photo Bipolar evolves and grows with every exhibition, becoming a platform to show, to see, to share, to spread...

Photo Bipolar are:Lourdes De Vicente, Luca Tronci, Pablo Rodríguez, Rafael Arocha,Walter Astrada, Tanya Habjouqa, Anna Gasulla, Nico Belillo, Gerda Kochanska, Jukka Onnela

May Day, Beltane, Walpurgis

Here in the US May Day is celebrated by making and giving May Baskets, filled with flowers and candy; by dancing around a May Pole, weaving ribbons over and under the dancers that you pass. These are old old traditions, being lost now, but some of us are continuing to keep them alive.




Brightly burning fires, maypoles, baskets of flowers -- all ways of celebrating Spring's new green, of celebrating having made it through another long dark cold winter . . . .


I'd love to hear what F Blog readers around the world do to celebrate this night and day, and what mythologies and stories contribute to their traditions. Maybe ever a photo or two!
