There is a Crack in Everything: A Photographic Journey

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – October 2024

This week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge #322 is ‘there is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in’. The quote is from a verse by Leonard Cohen about imperfection and beauty, redemption, healing and growth to overcome pain and hurt. The origin is more ‘cosmic’ and is much older (e.g. Rumi): the only perfect ‘being’ (the light) is the source of all. As humans we are not perfect but we can let the light in to heal our wounds and pain. And essentially learn from it.

Yesterday I showed a photo from the bright side, this one is from the sunrise, and I must say I love the light and the atmosphere.

The Sunny Side

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – October 2024

This week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge #322 is ‘there is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in’. It is from a verse by Leonard Cohen about imperfection and beauty. This photo is just a blunt statement: the light comes from the right. But considering my more frequent photo moments in the early morning on this spot, it is after noon. A total different view on the same view. The way the light hits a scene gives it meaning. And shows different details. It softens, warms an strikes with a tender touch, showing the deeper beauty. Not perfect, but priceless.

Capturing Moments: A Series of SUP Paddler Photos

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – September 2024

Maybe I am not the only one. When I see a wonderful subject, that has to be on a photo, I tend to try out different things fast, to avoid the moment goes. And in the end there is a series of photos that are hard to choose from. What is the solution? I just publish them all. So after SUP Paddler in focus and

the monochrome loneliness of the SUP Paddler here is the last of three. I hope you enjoyed all of them.
