IV. RANNOCH, BY GLENCOE
by T. S. Eliot Here the crow starves, here the patient stagBreeds for the rifle. Between the soft moorAnd the soft sky, scarcely roomTo leap or soar. Substance crumbles, in the thin airMoon cold or moon hot. The road winds inListlessness of ancient war,Langour of broken steel,Clamour of confused wrong, aptIn silence. Memory is strongBeyond the…

Paddington by night
Switching roles implies spending less time in London. I spent some time with Imad, from my team.Amazed by all the details of photography while in all fairness, I still see myselfas an absolute beginner. For now, this is our adieu, but the future whispers promises of reunion. Paddingont, 5th March 2024

The places that normally are overcrowded with tourists and wine chasersfelt desolate, under the dreary skiesLikely the others chose…

The dark days…
Some photograper wrote he was getting depressedonly shooting black and white. When I recoiled from some colour pictures,hurt almost by the sugar cane pink bursting the enamel of my teeth.It must pain them, to constantly juggle colour wheel theory and white balance drama. Well. not so much here.Here, we paint with spoonfuls of light.or moonfuls…

Speicherstadt – Hamburg warehouse district
If it’s made it to the Unesco bucket list, for sure it is worth the journey should you happen to be in the vicinity. Funny how as photographer, we choose the lens to which to see, in my casealways 28mm, black and white but that’s not what I meant. Lifting out the crowd or instead…

Two faces of Hamburg
Frankly I don´t know what I was expecting of Hamburgyet, somehow it reconciles with what I encountered.This ´Hansestadt´ with rich past in commerceshows a more diverse cultural blend than I´m used to. It has two faces, really. One is the hurried and metropolitan grandeur,with waterways, buildings and impressively large store fronts. Where people are either…

Thanks Victor! You’d expect they would not look as nice minus the colours, but that particular picture actually has a nice timeless feel to it. Well, if we disregard the 2023 trend of the umbrellas. Undeniably pretty, still.

Summertime, French-style
Every Wednesday afternoona sleepy Breton village reawakens, pivoting around its central ‘Halles’, next to its church. Where long tables and live musicare adorned by couleure locale who detour via the local ‘Bistrot’, to get their drinks for 1.50: canteen prices almost. Where the table serving ‘assièttes’ with local producetook six people more time to set…
