(This will be the last set of pictures from Thailand. This time less words, more pictures.) From Bangkok, we once again went to the train station a Hua Lamphong. This time, the train took as donw south. First stop was Surat Thani where we boarded an interesting looking bus. Pete had to catch up on […]
Here comes part three… still have a lots of photos to share. Once we returned from the hilltribe treks, we spent a couple of days in Chiang Mai which is know for its many many thousands of temples. I found this Buddha statue to be particulary beautiful. The architecture of some of the temples was […]
This is the second set of images. If you’ve missed the first part, please click here. It will tell you how we came to be on 16 hours night train to Chiang Mai. We felt like it was a good idea to travel overnight. We didn’t have to pay extra accomodation and were able to […]
Somewhere over the Arabian desert, February 2013. When I was thinking about going to Thailand, all I was thinking about was the food. I really like thai food and one of the best things about going to Asia is the culinary adventure it is going to be. But what am I talking about. Like every […]
Hedi, 2013 – Rolleiflex X, Trix. I am very excited. Although not much has been happening on this blog lately, there was a reason for that. I was in Thailand and Dubai for over three weeks. It has been a amazing time with a lot of great experiences. We spent time in buzzling Bangkok, chilled […]
In the first part of the this series called “What makes a great photograph?” I tried to explain what it is about portraiture that is appealing and under what circumstances we judge an image as “great”. When I wrote about the function of photography as a help to remember, I realized there is a lot […]
Hafencity, Hamburg, 2013 – Rolleiflex X, Trix. Today, I’d like to talk about the image above. And what you see, is exactly what I saw when I was there taking the photo. It’s a waterway, two bridges and very symmetric houses on each side. Nothing more. If you have been in the “Hafencity” in Hamburg, […]
Haven’t shown that many images lately. And I still think, that I might write more in future as you guess after the recent posts. But nevertheless, inbetween I will show some of my work. This time a digital session with Elena. And as compensation for the last to posts, only images, no words. Hope you […]
Schwarzwald, Canon A1, some cheap roll. It seems obvious that photography serves as a medium to preserve moments. They show us what is already gone. More particular, a moment that was and can not happen again. So of course a lot of people (including me) use photography as a way to remember certain events, people, […]
For most people, it is fairly easy to judge a portrait as good. In galleries or museums, we easily connect to certain images and say: “This portrait was very well executed by the photographer.” But if we would ask ourselves what it is exactly about this portrait that makes us judge it as a well […]
I took me a while to gather some new inspirational imagery. But, I surely want to continue this category. So here we go. Pictures, that I really like: Ryan Muirhead, a photographer a exceptional talent, made a couple of instant film images. I mean, these are fantastic! I think simplicity can be very overwhelming. […]
