Quotidian life
During a quick business travelI try to capture the quotidian life at street levelFrom the fruit stall to the bigger-than-life Segrada FamiliaThe streets of Barcelona are so high and narrowthat daylight struggles to find the pavementBack at home, the Mediterranean leisurely pace is fleeting with the rush of passengers keen to get back home. Bacrcelona,…

Less bokeh, more fun
The Leica Q2 Monochrome comes with a fixed f/1.7 summilux 28mm objective. The lens is fast and has a little bit of vingette towards the corners. The fish eye actually implies that I need to be within arms length of my subject for them to fill the screen. I usually warn people I have no…

as well “everything in focus” requires us to be more accurate in our composition choices due to the inability to isolate the unnecessary details with the blurred bokeh. Beautiful series from Barcelona

PS. With the load time of the last photo that long, did you wait to see they’re all crops from the same one image?

Scroll to the last line where it refers to Barcelona. And wait. Likely the last image isn’t loading until very long. All images are crops of one shot. To prove the point a lot is going on in it :). It takes a while to load as it’s a very big jpg. Wait until you see one image showing the zoomed out original from which all others above it were cut 😉 it will load, but slowly.

Portes ouvertes
Usually we just take a little detour from Colmar to visit an Alsacian gemin Blienschwiller to restock from the amazing wines by Anne and Marc Wassler.Their son Matthieu experiments on the grass-roots of wine making:unfiltered, unsulphured, uncompromising, niche tastes for niche customers. New concepts make for new favourites: eclipse and origine are amazing wines. This…

Paddington
Loved the short walk with Sean from work. Sean’s been on the streets for much longer and it was just nice to visit the spots he really enjoys shooting. London, 17 Jan 2024

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.
