No Rules Photography
As I was walking downtown in Oslo, I was medidating... yeah, actually it's happen to me from time to time. Call it a time collapse, but it was great. It has been about one year and half that I falled in love with the art of photography after my trip to Uganda. Since then I have spent many hours asking for advices, visiting forums, shopping until these days. I'm really tempted to pass to the dslr world. It's happen when you know professionnel photographer. But I discover something and I will probably discover plenty of others. Photography is not a science. It isn't the material that makes the photographer. And I not
ice that I'm really creative when I'm not planning. Because the beauty, bizarre, uglyness and everything is around.
So while I'm learning and maybe not:I decide to forget the rules. No composition, no exposition, no filter, no nothing, no time. However I know that's you find rules in anarchy so there are probably some in my no rules experience. I will try to follow this path: have the eyes open, beeing an enthusiast, beeing patient and spying.
It was time for this medidation after that I sold some pieces of my work. Anyway I will come back time to time here to share my no rules trip.

Back in the 80's
Lakers vs Celtics in 2008.
We're back in the old fashion deja vu finals,except that's this time it is Kobe versus Garnett, Pierce and Allen.
I give you my pronostic : 4-2 for the Lakers.
Why?
The Lakers has proven to be capable on the road more than the Celtics.
Secundo, Kobe want it like Michael jordan wanted it; Maybe you don't know but these two guys are sicks. Madness are inside them, they want to win so badly that their partners becomes punchy balls. And Kobe want to have a Jordan season: MVP of the year, MVP of the playoffs, golden olympics medals and prove that he can win without Shaq.
The lakers has the best bench of this NBA season, and 2 guys, I'm not talking about bench guys like Cassell for the Celtics, who have reached the finals together Kobe and Fisher.
The Lakers are long and athletic on the wing.
The celtics needs someone to defend on Bryant meaning that they would have to sacrifice one of their three heads: Pierce, Allen or include James Posey in the 5.
The important matchups:
Garnett vs Odom: The edge to Garnett but Odom has been incredible and if it doen't failed mentality, he can keep up with the speed of Garnett. Turiaf is going also to use his body on Garnett.
Kobe vs Allen, Pierce, Posey: Kobe the winner.Who can stop him? He'll have to chase Allen but he loves it and the two doesn't really like each other. Posey has long arms but we 'll see a lot Kobe on the line.
Maybe the best here is Pierce, he has improve his defense,. He's strong and can post Bryant.
Gasol vs Perkins, Powe and Brown: winner Celtics; Gasol is long but has been a little tender against the spurs. The celtics trio are tough and will muscle him inside. Gasol will have to use his touch.
Fisher vs Rondo: winner Lakers. Rondo is young, fast and a really good rebonder for his position. But Fisher doesn't turn the ball a lot and he can defend fast guard like Rondo. Cassel is there also for the celtics but he is to prone to shoot the ball before to serve his partners.
What we know:
We'll see Kobe a lot on the line.
Allen has to make his threes. We'll see a lot of them.
The Celtics is one of the best defense in the league. The Lakers one of the best offensive machine.

Bye bye San Antonio
San Antonio did it once again. Incapable to reach the NBA finals 2 years in a row. One of the reason this year has been the injurie of two majors players, Parker and Ginobili. If Parker has maintain his status and statistics during the playoff run, it wasn't the same for Ginobili.
In fact the sason 07_08 has been so tuff in the west conference that a team like Golden State (50 wins in the season) has been eliminated. And That Ginobili who has fight and produce an mvp caliber season to fight and obtain the home court advantage. Unfortunately for the spurs the load was to heavy for the argentino, and Manu has never be again the same after the hornets-spurs serie.
The numbers of Parker and Duncan were predictible, but the Spurs really needs Ginobili to be on the top. He is the poor's Kobe Bryant. Unpredictible, an offensive machine and a hard nose defender, when he is healthy. In fact he has the same season as Kobe last year. Forced to take the team on his shoulder in order to reach the playoff or a good position.
What the Spurs have learn with this defeat?
They need a solid power forward to support Tim Duncan. The spurs has been destroyed by David West in the hornets series. The lengh og Gasol, the rapidity of Odom in the offensive block has contributed also to the destruction of the Spurs in the Lakers serie.
They need more athleticism in the wing. Finley and Horry are showing their age. Someone like Idoka even if he's 30 years old can take Finley place.
And maybe it would have been better to force Kobe go to the line. Bowen has been spectacular on Kobe, even if the guy has put great numbers. Kobe is apart like Michael Jordan was and maybe like Lebron James will be. The only guy who can stop him is himself. So you have to play smart defense and force him to go on his weakness. Meaning playing a one man game . But by force him to share the ball, the spurs has created confidence on the Lakers roster.
Give also credits to Fisher to defend so well on Parker and force him to play away from the paint.
