La Machine - Day 3 - Part 1

petemc · 13-09-2008, 15:06

Its been a busy week so I haven’t had the time I hoped to work on these images. I’ve split Friday up into 2 parts since a lot happened. Naturally it was raining, and not just a bit. It was the first time I’ve put a cover on my cameras. Not that it helped as the contacts on the 10-20 failed later that day. I managed to fix them though. So despite the heavy rain lots of people came out to see La Princesse awake for the very first time. It really was something else. Its legs stretched out and toyed with the crowd. La Princesse didn’t like to be confined and kicked the fences down. She headed up the steps by the arena and was attacked by jets of water. This didn’t stop her. She continued up and was forced back by fire and firecrackers. This scared her and she headed back down the steps. Once back at the base the scientists turned on the sleep snow and sent La Princesse back to sleep. For a while…

Pictures 4 and 5 - wow! They are amazing.

I love 10 too.

This whole spider thing scares me a lot though. I want to ask what's the point? But it sounds rude and I don't mean it that way. Why are they doing this? is probably better

They did it because they could. The artist wanted to bring art and theatre to the streets in a way that no-one else does. He created the Sultan's Elephant in London.

These pics are nothing really compared to what happened

I miss it really. The sheer excitement of those 5 days. Imagine seeing Star Wars on its premiere night with 50,000 people, and having front row seats. Everyone I knew was talking about it, blogging about it. The fear of a giant spider was gone by day 4 because it was just amazing.
