Two days ago we returned from Toronto, Canada. We have also been to New York City and to Boston, the trip was just wonderful. I took my new camera with me and after a while I kind of learned handeling it. Of course I took many many pictures. And now it is quite a job to look through them. As I will continue my 365-series I only have to choose one picture for each day. Maybe I will make a new set later.

The 365-series continues. We already have passed the longest day and thereby entered summer, the biggest time of the year lays behind us. In June I used CLOUDS as a topic and I very much liked how my photosream turned into blue. The picture one by one were not that spectacular but as a series they turned somehow into a blue carpet. I really dig this process: it is like moments are woven in a bigger frame: they turn into time. For me it is a way to actually catch time.

For July I chose a new topic and this has become: REFLECTION/MIRRORS. I am afraid there will be some selfies involved, but not exclusively. For the obliged title I continue using fragments of Susan Sontag‘s lovely essay “On photography” (1977), she covers a lot of very fascinating aspects of taking pictures. For me this works very well.

Have a look if you like!

Every month a new topic, that’s what I decided last February. This is how I work on my 365-series of 2019. I know, also me is suffering from the dullness and repetitiveness of this chains of days. And of course it is not possible for me to keep shooting exciting 1 000 000 dollar shots every day, ahum. I try to cover up by using a title, but I not always succeed. Of course this is the purpose of the series: no day will pass by unseen, I face all of them and invariably I will catch them. So actually I offer here a view into my workshop, later I will hopefully arrange new combinations of new emerging series. The first day of a new month always dictates the new topic. I happened to be in the Alps at the first of June, which led to the new topic: CLOUDS. Enjoy!

I am still shooting a picture a day for my 365: a picture a day-series. After April’s topic of Shadow I chose water for this lovely green month. Of course water is an opulent topic in photography, just think of reflections in surfaces and tiny drops catching the light. Also it is everywhere to find. But the best thing is the fact that the pools opened again and watching (and catching) the playful lines will never ever get dull. Just have a look:

Yesterday it was the 113th day of the year and I still attempt to take picture of shadows this month. Time trickles away and does not ever come back or even hold. In making photographs I try to be stronger than time. It is a hopeless strife. Have a look at the 365-series, watch me struggle. 

For the month of April I chose shadow as a topic. A theme helps to find focus on the every day basis. I combine the pictures in this spring month with fragments from texts about poetry and its function. This results in gripping combinations. Sometimes it does. So my 365-series continues, have a look if you like.
