France 1997: Terrace in Arles


France, Arles – August 1997

A terrace inArles. Everyone has a memory of a terrace I bet.

LAPC #417 is ‘Memories’. Sometimes the LAPC themes coincide with my ‘planning’ for my blog. The last weeks I am looking back into my archive of photographic memories. And this is one of them. 

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.

France 1998: Swan

A black and white image of a swan taking off from the water with its wings partially spread.
A black and white photograph of a swan gracefully flapping its wings on the surface of a serene water body, creating ripples around it.
A swan taking flight from the water, captured in black and white, creating a dramatic contrast with rippling water and leaves.
France, Saint-Hippolytus-du-Fort – August 1998

LAPC #417 is ‘Memories’. In a way freezing images of moments in time is creating and storing a memory. In the analogue time of film the notion of shooting a great set of photos was the first step in a process. The next step was printing it in the darkroom. That was manual labor. And some photos are just not easy to bring out. A big step towards the digital time of now. Software now is amazing, and allows me to create what I could not achieve with my not adequate dark room skills.

So this is a memory of a moment I did not feel too well being harshly told off by a French garage owner to piss off and not bother him trying to shoot photos at his workshop. As part of a course assignment in a workshop.

I walked to the bridge and this swan came down, landing in the river. Majestic. A gift.

Rome 1997: Villa Borghese

Black and white image of a round fountain sculpture in a rippling pool, surrounded by trees with a distant view of a dome structure.
Italy, Rome – September 1997

Rome is build on seven hills, but some hills are not counted in that list. One of the non listed hills is the Pincian Hill, that – like all of them – offers beautiful views over the eternal city. On top of the hill is Villa Borghese and a garden of statues.

Turkey 1988: Cappadocia Göreme Valley 2

An aerial view of rugged, rocky terrain featuring large boulders and sparse vegetation.

Turkey, Göreme Valley – September 1988

The Göreme Historical National Park in Cappadocia is a mesmerizing part of Turkey. Erosion and geological layers build a tapestry of shapes and colors. That combined with a beautiful history of cultural human existence it is an experience you never forget.

Reichstag Berlin: Dem Deutsche Volke

The front view of the Reichstag building in Berlin, showcasing its grand architecture and flags, with cloudy skies in the background.

The front of the Reichstag. A visit was on the top of my list. In 1989 the Berlin Wall was right next to the building; and since 1989 this area was completely developed. So we booked a visit to the dome. On this photo I left the dome out consciously. I wanted to have an image like the building looked in November 1989 below.

Black and white photograph of the Reichstag building in Berlin, taken in November 1989, featuring two men in the foreground, one holding a sign that reads 'Berlin ist Freiheit'.
Germany, Berlin – November 1989

The history of the Reichstag is connected to my hometown and Leiden. In 1933 Marinus van der Lubbe was accused, tried and sentenced by the Nazi-regime for setting fire to the building. He was born in Leiden en lived in Oegstgeest, as did his family.

Capturing the Charm of Paris: Balcony and French Windows in December 1993

France, Paris – December 2003

LAPC 309 is about balconies. I have to admit that I do not pay special attention to balconies, unless they trigger me as I look around and they catch my eye. I do however ‘collect’ French windows. So occasionally they pop up in a frame. This is one of those, in one of my favourite cities, Paris. From the analogue archive of December 1993.

Faces of Yemen 1998

Yemen, Jibla – April 1998

25 years ago I was fortunate to visit Yemen. For this week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge #263 ‘A face in the crowd’ I will publish some street portraits of that trip. Looking back at old photos can raise questions: what happened to them in those 25 years? Especially now this beautiful country is suffering from a terrible war.

1979 Steps (about 600)

Greece, Fira/Santorini – July 1979

This week LAPC #260 is ‘overlooked’. Again one from the archives, the then small town of Fira, on the island Thira aka Santorini, built on the edge of a former caldera. The old harbor is deep down, and 600 steps lead you up to the town balancing on the edge of the caldera. Donkeys are used for comfort against payment. Since 1979 tourism boomed extremely on this beautiful island. I feel fortunate to have visited it before that tourist flood. But each time I see photos of this place I long to go back. The beaches are perfect: volcanic ashes that does not stick like sand.

Little Chapel – Naxos 1983

This week LAPC #254 is ‘spiritual places’; I use an old photo that I also published in October 2021 of a little chapel in Naxos that could do with some tender loving care for lens artistists challenge #168: seen better days. I edited it with a lighter atmosphere and took out the most obvious dust and scratches this time, so if you want to compare, here is that post.
