In a recent post I said Ansel Adams did not print his photos himself.... awful crazy error, obviously! It was Henri Cartier Bresson of course! Sorry for that one!
Hi-Key – Lo-Key
Two very different concepts in photography, two different ways to represent the world! Which ones do you prefer? Certainly anyone must have a preference? Or not... This is just my personal view on this topic and lo and behold, I prefer both. How that? How is this only possible? Well it's easy, I just prefer... Continue Reading →
No Cheat!
Some days ago I asked if it was allowed to cheat in photography, and your responses were as varied as welcome. In short, you think that the cheating I did was excessive... and I'm vey much OK with that. So here's a 'cloudy' photo that's totally genuine, straight out of my phone's camera. I swear...

As opposed to just going on a photo walk with no specific objective, just waiting... Continue Reading →

After more than a year I fired up my Rodinal and developed films again... The best thing I could do!
Been up to no good…
...and messed around some with the site. What do you think? No, honestly! And I promise to be good and post some NEW stuff in the next days! Yayyyyyyyyy

This will be a short one, but as you are used now to have none at all... don't complain 😉 Does street photography need the 'human element'? Or can it exist without? After all, it's called street photography, not human or people photography. So I don't think the human in the photo is that important.... Continue Reading →
