Paris 2003: watching gulls go by

France, Paris – December 2003

This week LAPC #260 is ‘overlooked’. Taking the word literally, one from the film archives. One of the ponds in Les Tuileries in Paris, looking at the small arch and the Louvre.

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.

June was a beautiful month full of sun and warmth. July was less, let’s hope August has some more blue skies for us. This week LAPC #259 is ‘unbound’.

Flower Fields

The Netherlands, Voorhout – April 2023

At this time of Spring the bulbfields deliver their richness and beauty in rows of flowers, stretching over the land like post stamps. Living in this area of The Netherlands for a long time, this is quite a ‘normal’ event. I try to remember the first time I saw it as a child, being amazed by the perfume and splendour of the fields, just to keep me appreciating it as it should.
Lens Artists Photography Challenge #245 is ‘Environment’.

Swans and Moonlight

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – February 2023

The weekly lens artists challenge #242 is ‘new experiences’. A month ago we had a partial public space power cut, the streetlights of a part of the neigbourhood were off for an hour and the moon showed its grace beautifully. Power inside the houses was still there. Power cuts are fortunately rare, and this one was quite a nice experience!

Sea View: An Answer

The Netherlands, Katwijk – February 2023

Sometimes the color and mono have a fight. Two totally different tones and feelings to the same photo. And an answer to the question I phrased in the previous two posts.

This week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge 240 is hosted by John Steiner. He invites to show my favorite type or style of photography as the road I have chosen to take most often. And – I was not really honest when I wrote this – that creates a bit of a problem for me. I might need direction.

Basically my attention gets caught and produces an image. It is not conscious, it is in the context where I am. And it results in an array of subjects. It is easier to say what road I do not take: fashion, portraits, urban. But travel, cities, landscapes etc are part of the portfolio.

I asked visitors feedback, and I am happy that those who took time to answer (thank you!) confirmed my own view on ‘my work’. Describing it as ‘random variety’ ‘context orientated’; I am in the place I should be (and I feel comfortable in). And it is a true pleasure to receive these kind phrased comments. So: I keep doing what I do, snap in context, it is fun!

Salt Marshes at Blakeney

The theme for LAPC 234 is ‘messages’. The coast of north Norfolk is one big nature resort with salt marshes and wildlife. The continuous change of the sea water coming in and out, the light changes during the day time and the vastness and beauty are stunning.

Moon over Marshes

The Lens Artists Photo Challenge #233 is ‘a one lense walk‘. The first week of 2023 we had a short stay at Norfolk; the beauty of its coast and its wildlife gave ample opportunities for photos. The Nikon D500 has the 18-105 mm lens on it. The marshes on the quay of Blakeney around sunrise.
