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!

Walk on the Wild Side

It is easier to say what road I do not take: fashion, portraits, urban. But travel, cities, landscapes etc are part of the portfolio. Maybe I can not choose to continue in a specific direction? Or I shouldn’t?
I think I have to ask the visitors of this blog to give an answer to John’s question, for I can’t for myself. What do you think? Is there a red line in my snaps? Or is it a mixed bag of pieces? I appreciate your feedback.

Dredge
The weekly theme for LAPC #237 is ‘bringing softness’.
Right now the coast at Katwijk is work in progress. Sand is dredged out of the sea, pressed through tubes and added just before the beach under the water. 5,5 cubic meters of sand. Making it safe again and compliant to standards. As always Rijkswaterstaat does an amazing job.

Suppletion of 5,5 million cubic meters of sand – Coastal defense maintenance
The weekly theme for LAPC #237 is ‘bringing softness’. Softness can be achieved in processing a sharp photo. Or just use zoom on an iPhone and do not keep it still while pressing the shutter. It gives the softness that makes this beach view interesting.

Holkham Dunes
England, Holkham – January 202
The theme for LAPC 234 is ‘messages’. The dunes and the retreated sea create a wonderful open space that connects land, sea, sky and men. A space for stories, dreams and desires.

Systematic
This week lens artists photo challenge is ‘that special place’. The beach is a place to relax, let go and create space and a fresh head. And you can see more than water and beach at times. This one is also an entry for Paula’s pick a word competition on ‘Lost in Translatation’. It looks like the surfers are in chaos, but actually they use the water and wind systematic.

Samos 1983
The theme for Lens-artists Weekly Photo Challenge #158 is ‘Along back country roads’.
The airport of Samos is just near a beach. Luckily there were about two flights a day. The backroads of the Greek islands are the ferry services between 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.

Coast: Dunes
The Netherlands, Katwijk – September 2019

Seaside old glory
The Netherlands, Scheveningen – July 2019
The theme for Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #56 is Seashores and/or Lakeshores. Scheveningen used to be a small fishing village but now is part of Den Haag.
The Kurhaus is the only remaining old building. In the sixties everything except the Kurhaus was demolished and replaced by modern type buildings. Killing the sight and sphere of the coastline.
