A friend of my profesional photograph made some pictures of old factories and i got the inspiration of it, here you can get some more interesting pictures www.jordicane.com

I tried to make the details as more similar as posible...

The idea starts...



The history represent a french partisan puting some explosives in the factories controlled by the germans, but first he had to kill a maintenance gui wo was taking his dinner while he was watching a picture of his wife. The partisan had a visit of a cat who is looking on him and he is sayg to it "psss" (like it is a person). The 2 German soldiers just arrived and they just saw strange that all the toos are arround but not the maintenance guy... they still don't saw the blood...














I hope you like it,

Yes, it's this kind of small detail that makes dios special
It's like Claude's Clervaux.....full of care for tiny (but eminently important) details. All these little gems together make the real big difference!!!
I might not be too happy with the handling of the wire though...it would be fixed tighter to the wall IMHO, and the way it "behaves" round the bottom could perhaps be a tad firmer to look right. What do you think?

The slate however is top notch!!
Bravo!!

Great show Xavier!

Cheers

Romain
