Church and Cows
The theme for Lens-artists Weekly Photo Challenge #115 is ‘Inspiration’.
The Dutch landscape is a continuous source of inspiration. Sometimes in a wide view, sometimes in a close up to pick up some details. A church on a dyke, cows in the polder.

Inspiration
The theme for Lens-artists Weekly Photo Challenge #115 is ‘Inspiration’.
The canal that runs through my village is always an inspiration. Each season has its new perspective. The image is a bit shaky, using the zoom on the iPhone.

Vercors 1990
The theme for Lens-artists Weekly Photo Challenge #115 is ‘Inspiration’.
Coming from a land that is flat as a pancake, mountains and hills are a source of inspiration, reflection and sport. Climbing a mountain by bicycle is a wonderful experience, offering lots of insights about who and what you are. This one was shot with Pentax Mju on Fuji Film.
About the B4 retouch series:
I browsed my archive for pictures to publish. Some of them are partly retouched but most do have scratches, dust and stains.
Heather
The theme for Lens-artists Weekly Photo Challenge #115 is ‘Inspiration’.
Seeing something big, like a big field of heather, is always a prompt to be inspired. Even when it rains.

Cantal France 1993
The theme for Lens-artists Weekly Photo Challenge #115 is ‘Inspiration’.
An old travel photo from 1993 in France. The Cantal is a beautiful area with no longer active volcanoes. Landscapes inspire me. This one was amazing.

On Golden Pond
The theme for Lens-artists Weekly Photo Challenge #114 is ‘Negative Space’.
I am not sure if this photo is about ‘negative space’. But it shows a way of looking at ‘space’ for sure.

Tower
The theme for Lens-artists Weekly Photo Challenge #114 is ‘Negative Space’.
The term ‘negative space’ to me is confusion: technically it is the space around the main subject of a photo. It means ‘negative’ as opposed to ‘positive’ attention for the main subject. The word ‘negative’ as a noun brings back good old memories. Being older I actually worked and work with negatives (for the millennials: it has to do with film, the light sensitive stuff we used to put in a camera to get a photo on (in negative) that later could be printed (in positive).
So ‘negative space’ is about the focus a viewer of a photo is offered in a photo. If there is a lot to see around the subject, than that distracts from that subject. In other words: it is a creative tool a photographer can use.

Ephesus 1987
The theme for Lens-artists Weekly Photo Challenge #113 is ‘A labor of love’.
Ephesus is a beautiful excavation near Selçuk in the west of Turkey. The library of Celsus is an amazing piece of architecture and art.
About the B4 retouch series:
I browsed my archive for pictures to publish in – an originally – small series. That series caught on a bit more than I thought. All of them are not retouched yet. Scratches, dust and stains are not removed.
Labor of love
The theme for Lens-artists Weekly Photo Challenge #113 is ‘A labor of love’.
The theme is meant to honor Labor Day in the United States of America. But I decided to give my own twist to the theme, and add parenthood to the label ‘labor’.

Manakah 1998
The theme for Lens-artists Weekly Photo Challenge #112 is ‘Pick a Word… ’.
A country tangled in a dreadful civil war, unfortunately.

Paris 1989
The theme for Lens-artists Weekly Photo Challenge #112 is ‘Pick a Word… ’.
In 1989 the Notre Dame de Paris was dominating the view of the Isle de France. Let us hope that after the fire she will come back untangled in its old splendor, resting comfortable between the two arms of the Seine.
