The Autumn was short this year. High temperatures were pleasant, but the amazing colors on leaves that are normal for this time of year, were not present. And when the weather changed the leaves came off the trees very fast. Luckily the sunsets are always there.
Christmas is coming. Some people can’t wait to set up their gardens with light figures. Here is one I would consider, if I would decorate the garden. For this week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge #175 Follow your bliss.
The theme for this week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge #172 is a day of my week. The photo above was one of a series I took during a morning when I visited a little village in Norfolk, Wells next the Sea. From the dock the view on the low tide coastline was amazing: boats, gulls, water, sun and clouds. It felt like a photographer heaven where there is too much to shoot in a short time. So this week I publish some of the photo’s from that morning in September.

The theme for this week’s Lens-artists Photo Challenge #176 is One image/one story. That theme matches the subject of my photo blog: What’s (in) the picture? Finding stories. Photo’s tell stories. My story (what made me click my shutter), and the story of the spectator.
At the start of my photo path I used to get comments ‘why do you shoot that?That is not a nice photo!’. In a time of film it was impossible to show a result quickly to make my idea visible. Wait, be patient, wait for the print! But a film needed to be developed, and sometimes I could not create the envisioned result in my darkroom. Nowadays you lust look at the back of your camera and share that with the critic. And sometimes even that does not make sense, but it shows a picture.
Photography is about seeing, observing the world. And be ready for the decisive moment as Henri Cartier-Bresson said. My photo’s are my story of the world, my way of giving ‘voice’ to something that made me press the shutter, that reflects inside me. That is extremely subjective. But I learned (via this blog and other feed back) that my story most of the times is different from the one of spectators. My story is not their story. So, what’s behind this photo?
Martin Parr is in my humble opinion a brilliant satirist of the wealthy world. I enjoy his pictures of people, showing how human they are in their environment and behavior. And sitting in a holiday trailer park I was wondering what would be a way of framing what that park meant to me. All the trailers look the same, so I pictured a small bit. With the sky. A holiday at the sea in a trailer park. Hopefully with blue skies.
The B4 retouch series I browsed my archive for pictures to publish. All of them are not completely retouched yet. Scratches, dust and stains are not removed.
The picture was originally shot with Pentax K1000 on Kodak TriX, scanned from negative and tweaked using Snapseed and Marksta. Click the picture for a larger version.

Since the pandemic started we worked from home. But now we start up to work at home and a few days at the office. Hybrid working. I enjoyed being on a train again, seeing the landscape, so familiar but so pleasingly fresh and new to my eyes, passing by. And yes, of course you meet a signpost on a photo.
