Snowman
We are getting close to Christmas. A feast of hope and light. In times like we live in now it is even more important to celebrate the unbearable lightness of being.

Season’s End
The theme for Lens-artists Weekly Photo Challenge #119 is ‘My hideaway’.
Autumn has come, Summer is over. The garden is no longer the place to enjoy being outside during the pandemic, looking at plants and flowers. Seasons come and go, the natural cycle continues, and Summer is waiting to come back next year, hopefully in a different setting without restrictions.

Paris 1989
The theme for Lens-artists Weekly Photo Challenge #112 is ‘Pick a Word… ’.
In 1989 the Notre Dame de Paris was dominating the view of the Isle de France. Let us hope that after the fire she will come back untangled in its old splendor, resting comfortable between the two arms of the Seine.

Hopefully it creates some rest and a safer feeling.

Capital Birch
The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – February 1979
The theme for the weekly Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #82 is ‘capital’
The noun capital can hold different meanings, and as always it is subjective what to choose to express a theme in a photo.
I like birch trees. I love the fine detailing from the stem, to branch to the twigs. From big to delicate. A birch can be intimidating, towering over me.
Looking up a birch gives me a feeling of humility. This photo is from 1979, a time when i was printing in a darkroom on paper. And loved big abstracts in monochrome.

Fireworks

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – January 2020
Traditionally in The Netherlands the new year starts with private fireworks (this year people spent 77 million euro). Over the years this party has turned from pleasure over to concern. There is an increasing flow of illegal fireworks (like avalanche bombs), more damage to public and private goods, and increasing aggression towards services. And on top of that an increase in injuries and at times loss of life. The public and political debate at the moment is about a ban of private fireworks. One alternative could be to replace them by formal local firework events and/or a big national event..
The burst function on an iPhone works well shooting this ‘popping’ scenes. However, the quality and control of light is less than with a system camera or dslr.
