To not forget some of the thousands of images hiding on various hard drives. No they won’t make the world a better place, but some of them might help to make sense of things, if only a little. To see a larger picture, perhaps.
I used to know someone who would be present in nature while I ran around like a madman attempting to make it stick to film. Can’t rembember bothering to stop much and ask myself what it was I was trying to find, or capture. Just went on, searching, framing, adjusting, opening the shutter for just long enough to collect fragments of reality as it passed. As if I needed them in order to confirm—or excuse, […]
Sure the subject matter is close to heart and all. And one of it I don’t think is terrible. But really, I can’t stand these two photographs. Perhaps what I dislike the most about them is how they represent if not my greatest flaw when it comes to getting things done, then certainly one on the top–10 list; the tendency to postpone whatever it is I should be doing while waiting for some pieces of […]
I should so not have tossed that camera. This could have turned into something really interesting. Much more interesting than I can cough up on my own. Ohwell. Water under bridge.
..the squares are the ones from New Landscapes that resonate nowadays—long before that it was the squares from the square camera that,.. well—wanted to resonate but never quite got there. Still staring at old photographs. These from 2006, made with in partnership with the Voigtlander Perkeo II. Speaking of the Perkeo. How lovely it would be to be able to find a replacement bellows for it. Or better yet, a DIY repair solution. On to […]
A step back to a previous life, it seems. In a sense, not an overstatement. From 2003, I believe. Taken somewhere I shouldn’t have been spending time. Fond of the pic though. Complicated, as they say.
Looking at this set of photos. As an exercise in how to choose a subject, which ones to walk past, what angles to consider photographing from, distance, height. That sort.. They’re from almost a decade ago, the photographs, taken with a wide angle zoom that can’t be moved (as in up or down or sideways), probably with the lens taped to a fixed focal length. I deleted a few photos from the set, prematurely, in […]
Been stairing at old images for the last weeks, all sorts of images. Some really old, others more recent. Plenty landscapes. These, among others.
Something reminded me of this so I found the original file and tweaked the curve some, it was fairly dull in the previous version*. A couple of points (Warning: thinking out loud) When I posted this to online a number of years ago I wrote something about how it reminded me of being twelve. I said that a lot, some years ago, and now I can’t recall why, or what it was about this image, […]
From a cycling trip that feels like lifetimes ago. It hasn’t been, only a couple of years. Short lifetime then. Wonder what to make of it. Here’s another..
Flight attendants waiting for their turn to cater to our needs.
In 2003, it was all about cars.
