Knickers to you…..

April 24, 2017 by 53weeks

or a visit to the Hackischen Höfe (Berlin) with a rather surreal analogue film. Be sure to scroll through all the pictures. Strange sights, strange film, I particularly like the camel with a camera….. Leica M6; Summicron 35mm; ADOX Color Implosion

Week 14 – Green Trees ….

May 7, 2013 by 53weeks

There is much talk about the “Energy Turnaround” here, especially after Fukushima. I’ll leave it up to you to decide whether it’s beneficial to the environment or not…. I’m trying to rekindle my love with my Canon 5D at the moment and that coupled with my incompetence with my last roll of film means that you’re getting digital images remastered as Kodak Portra 400 nc (Natural Colour) this week. Canon 5D Canon f4 24-105 ISO 320 Aperture and Nik

Week 7 – Promises, promises ….. some broken, some kept….

March 14, 2013 by 53weeks

Last week was supposed to be the last of the gloomy winter posts, well forget it! Spring did appear for a couple of days and probably decided it was definitely too cold to come out. The promise kept was from Week 41 – Werderscher Damm last year, when I said I’d be back! I won’t make any more promises about the weather, promise!

Week 4 – Schloss Glienicke

February 19, 2013 by 53weeks

Took a stroll with the “Big Man” on the hunt for photo opportunities. Me with my Bronica and him with his Canon EOS 1000fn which we got from a flea market for just a few Euros. I spent a while at the beginning of the year thinking of a new subject for another 53 weeks of blogging and came to the conclusion that I was perhaps better off leaving it open to give me a little more freedom. Well to […]

Week 39 – Wustrow (Baltic)

October 15, 2012 by 53weeks

Another short break on the Baltic coast. I feel as if this is one of the best shots I’ve taken in a long time, I don’t know why, it just feels right somehow. What do you think? This is actually Wustrow and not Ahrenshoop (which is just down the road) ….. sorry folks!

Week 31 – Schlössernacht….

August 20, 2012 by 53weeks

or even the night of the palaces. This is an annual “cultural feast” during which the Sanssouci Park opens its gates to visitors well into the night. The palaces are ablaze with light and classical music resounds from every corner, this is rounded off with a fantastic firework display at midnight. We managed to sneak on the eve of the occasion while all was quiet for a quick nosey.

Week 20 – BER

June 3, 2012 by 53weeks

BER is the international code for the brand new single airport in Berlin. It was due to open today and my folks would have had the pleasure of flying from it for the first time. But hey-ho it wasn’t to be, I just hope they’ll finish it by March! This was the week that I officially turned into an old man! Thanks for the great birthday everybody!
