Trailer Park
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.
So what is your story with this photo?

Memory
The theme for Lens-artists Weekly Photo Challenge #160 is ‘Your Inspiration’.
My inspiration for photography is triggered in any place I am, just looking around, looking for the things that strike my eye. One of the maybe peculiar subjects is tombstones or graveyards. Colleville sur Mer, Margraten, Père Lachaise or a little village graveyards in England. They all tells stories about life and people who lived those lifes. In my ‘archive graveyard’ you can find some examples. This is the graveyard at the parish church of Tideswell.

Patience
The theme for Lens-artists Weekly Photo Challenge #160 is ‘Your Inspiration’.
My inspiration for photography is triggered in any place I am, just looking around, looking for the things that strike my eye. It can be near home in the garden, on the road to work or during travels. In the latter case it helps that all I see is new, so my curiosity is raised a bit more than when I cycle the well known route to the station. This dog was waiting patiently for the return of the boss at the post office in Tideswell.

Merry Christmas
Christmas is about light, shining in the dark, a promise of possibilities, of new events. Small sparks that may turn into the brightness of a beautiful sun, offering warmth, comfort, trust, security, well being and new life.
I wish you lots of light in the coming year, to see and observe the difference between the light and the darkness, to embrace and accept them both as parts of our life.

Young Hands
England, Rusper – August 2019
Something old: we all know babies and the way they mesmerize us. Something new: each baby is unique. Something borrowed: he is his own boss, but for now he depends on his mother and family to be nurtured and safe. And his opa borrows him as a model, because he cannot object yet. Something blue: well, the sweater. This little boy is a treasure and brings so much happiness and love.

Blood On The Rooftops – Genesis
Dark and grey, an English film, the Wednesday Play
We always watch the Queen on Christmas Day
Won’t you stay?
Though your eyes see shipwrecked sailors you’re still dry
The outlook’s fine though Wales might have some rain
Saved again.
Let’s skip the news boy (I’ll make some tea)
The Arabs and the Jews boy (too much for me)
They get me confused boy (puts me off to sleep)
And the thing I hate – Oh Lord!
Is staying up late, to watch some debate, on some nation’s fate.
Hypnotised by Batman, Tarzan, still surprised!
You’ve won the West in time to be our guest
Name your prize!
Drop of wine, a glass of beer dear what’s the time?
The grime on the Tyne is mine all mine all mine
Five past nine.
Blood on the rooftops – Venice in the Spring
Streets of San Francisco – a word from Peking
The trouble was started – by a young Errol Flynn
Better in my day – Oh Lord!
For when we got bored, we’d have a world war, happy but poor
So let’s skip the news boy (I’ll go make that tea)
Blood on the rooftops (too much for me)
When old Mother Goose stops – they’re out for 23
Then the rain at Lords stopped play
Seems Helen of Troy has found a new face again.
