Schiedam, a small town under the smoke of Rotterdam, with its own iconic windmill. Just a little street in a little town, old and more modern mixed. The theme for this week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge #173 is interesting architecture.

This week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge (#164) is ‘Looking Up/Looking Down’.
Again one from the archives. This is an original color film, turned into monochrome. I can not remember what camera I used for it, it must have been a simple point and shooter. The bland color photo turned into a lively pattern of monochrome tints. This is a part of Izmir, near the old Kadifekale, a hillcastle on Mount Pagos.

The theme for his week Lens-artists challenge #152 is ‘Shadows and Shades’. Delft was the first city I visited since we went into the pandemic. It is a beautiful old town, famous for pottery (Delft’s Blauw/Delft Blue), the painter Johannes Vermeer and the fact that here William of Orange was murdered. The light was stunning on this warm and sunny day, it reminded me of the South of France.

This week’s theme of the weekly lens artists challenge (#135) is ‘glimpse into your world’. The brief is simple: show us what makes your world spin, or what makes you delirious with joy. Let me start by showing what makes my world spin in photography. That is to visit places, travel, and monochrome photography. One of the most impressive trips was to Yemen in 1998. A beautiful country with amazing scenery and a rich culture. A mountain view near Sanaa in the Haraz mountais in Yemen.
