Pamela Mae

England, Wells next the Sea – September 2021

The theme for this week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge #172 is a day of my week. The photo above was one of a series I took during a morning when I visited a little village in Norfolk, Wells next the Sea. From the dock the view on the low tide coastline was amazing: boats, gulls, water, sun and clouds. It felt like a photographer heaven where there is too much to shoot in a short time. So this week I publish some of the photo’s from that morning in September.

Trailer Park

England, Wells next the Sea- September 2021

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?

From the archive: Famous Neighbor at Père Lachaise 1989

France, Paris – January 1989

One from the archive. Père Lachaise is a famous graveyard in Paris, with lots of celebrities being rested there; another one for this week’s lens artistists challenge #168: seen better days. You can buy a map with the names of the famous on it, to find their graves. One of the youngest to be buried there was Jim Morrisson. Lead singer of The Doors, icon. The first time I visited Père Lachaise was early in 1985. Together with a friend we took a look at his grave; which was not that difficult to find because ‘helpful’ signs on gravestones, with arrows, pointed one in the right direction. At his grave we found a very young girl mourning. I asked her why she was so sad. “Jim is gone!”, she said. She must have been very young when he died in 1971. But her grieve was real. And years later in 2021, on a walk around the local lake, young people were playing The Doors loud on a big ghetto blaster like device. They looked at me as I walked by, smirking at me because they thought I did not like the loudness nor the music. “Great music boys”, I said as I walked by. They were surprised and replied: “Yes, this is great music sir!”. We grinned together, two different generations but the same love for The Doors. Break on through to the other side.

Hybrid Working

The Netherlands, Voorschoten – October 2021

Since the pandemic started we worked from home. But now we start up to work at home and a few days at the office. Hybrid working. I enjoyed being on a train again, seeing the landscape, so familiar but so pleasingly fresh and new to my eyes, passing by. And yes, of course you meet a signpost on a photo.
