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.

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.

Jemen, Kaukaban – 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. The first is from Kaukaban.

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.

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.

The picture was originally shot with Pentax K1000 on Kodak Plusx, scanned from negative and tweaked using Snapseed and Marksta. Click the picture for a larger version.

Paris 2003: watching gulls go by

France, Paris – December 2003
