Singapore Part 1

March 29, 2020 by 53weeks

The decision to travel to Singapore and Kuala Lumpur at the begining of February was not easily made. There were 30 odd confirmed cases of the Coronavirus in Singapore when we left for south-east Asia, looking back 6 weeks later and Germany has just hit the 60,000 mark with the whole planet in dire stress….. Looking back I think we maybe should have stayed down there! Stay safe folks and take care! Leica M9; Leica M9M; Summicron 35; Summilux 50; […]

Luftwaffenmuseum Berlin – Part 1

March 22, 2020 by 53weeks

The current situation allows me to get around to all the things I’ve been wanting to do for ages…… so here’s the first post in the Corona crisis.

Israel Part Four (Colour) – Jerusalem

February 25, 2020 by 53weeks

If don’t do this everyday then you make mistakes. The girl in the gallery is a young Israeli soldier, I was so nervous that I made a mess of the camera settings and basically forgot everything I know about photography so the shot wasn’t as good as I hoped for.

Week 1 – Bitterly Cold

January 27, 2013 by 53weeks

I can honestly say that I know of no place on earth, where the wind blows straight through you as it does in that dirty miserable megalopolis that is Berlin in winter. I still love it though. I managed to meet-up with an old friend while he was visiting. We hadn’t seen each other since we last met while I was studying and he was serving in the same town in 1990. Time flies and neither of us have change one little […]

Week 53 – The Northern Lad

January 18, 2013 by 53weeks

Well this is the final week of round two, so I’ve decided to do something a little different. Firstly I’m carrying out the threat that I made around this time last year, hence I’m appearing in my own blog. Secondly this is the first picture that hasn’t actually been taken by me.

Week 50 – Old Friends……

January 4, 2013 by 53weeks

Perhaps a little less of the old…… I get the niggling feeling people are getting a bit sick of me sticking a camera in their faces. Never mind I’ve not quite finished yet! Taken with the Canon EOS 30v and Canon 50mm 1.4 combination on my favourite Fuji PRO 400H film.

Week 49 – The Odd Couple

December 30, 2012 by 53weeks

She’s aged very well, but I think the pigeons have seen to him. Taken in some hidden part of the Sanssouci Park in Potsdam with a Canon EOS 30V and my trusty Canon 24-105 f4 on Kodak TMAX 400 136.
