It’s been a while….
by 53weeks
….since I last posted anything. To be honest I’ve been searching (as ever) for a little inspiration for a new project lasting 53 weeks and I can’t seem to settle on that “one” subject. It’s not for the lack of ideas it’s just that that simply I don’t want to confine myself to one type of motive or one medium or one of whatever….. Therefore the next few posts will be of things that I’ve been shooting over the past […]

This is Pepe! If you ever happen to fancy a drink in Potsdam, his place is the best in town…. P.S. The clue is on the t-shirt…. Rolleiflex 3.5 F (Mark III / IV) Carl Zeiss Planar 3.5f Kodak Portra 400 Epson V500

Week 50 – Experimenting….
by 53weeks
…. and practicing. I’ve been wanting one of these for a long time, and when the opportunity arose I snapped it up. The Lensbaby “Edge 80” certainly is very different from anything I’ve ever used before and it should help my diminished creativity for the coming 53 weeks….. (There’s a hint in there somewhere) Anyway I’d better get practicing….. Canon 5D Lensbaby Composer Pro with Edge 80 Aperture and NIK

Week 3 – Winter Wonderland
by 53weeks
I was going to do this week on derelict buildings and then I scanned these two and all that changed….. P.S. As you see I still don’t seem to have got over my “analogue” phase just yet, and to be honest there’s no end in sight! Zenza Bronica ETRS Zenzanon f1:3.5 150mm Kodak Portra 400 Epson Perfection V500

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.

Week 1 – Belvedere Palace
by 53weeks
Well here we go again, another 53 weeks lie ahead of us. If anything this next period will be more difficult than the first, if only because doing something again is often more difficult than setting out to do something the first time. They say you should start as you mean to go on, so at the last minute on the Sunday afternoon (before the light faded), I walked up to the Belvedere Palace to shoot this. I do hope […]

Week 41 – The Old-timer
by 53weeks
This is a Volvo PV544 parked in front of the offices at the university. It is here that I enrolled during my “year abroad” from my home university in early October 1992. I wasn’t to know at the time that I would still be playing football on the fields behind nearly twenty years later, albeit with my son. f/8 1/200 ISO 800 @149mm

Week 36 – Indian Summer or Altweibersommer
by 53weeks
As autumn rapidly approaches, every warm sunny day is welcome. This was shot from the Nikolaikirche overlooking the old Town Hall to the high-rise blocks of flats in the distant Babelsberg Zentrum Ost. Edit: Thanks Pete for correcting me! I always thought the other areas were sub-suburbs of Babelsberg. f/16 1/40 ISO 200 @ 30mm

These are the last two taken on holiday.

Week 27 – The Saale

After a short weekend break in the south of the country, this week’s post is centred around the river Saale. As we have now reached halfway on the photographic journey through the year 2011, this week’s entry is interactive. All those entering the poll (see below) have the chance to become the lucky winner of a once in a lifetime prize. So here goes: The first two were taken directly on the banks of the Saale River in Hirschberg (Thuringia). […]

Week 26 – Kim Wilde and the Siblings
by 53weeks
The Economist was recently titled “The man who screwed an entire country” accompanied by a picture of Silvio Berlusconi. In Potsdam it isn’t a single man but more a political morass of people who were on the payroll of the regime before the fall of the wall. One of the latest victims has been the local public services company which hosts the annual music festival in Potsdam. This year’s roll call included Simple Minds, Robin Gibb and Kim Wilde. The […]

Week 24 – Oma (Hamburg)
by 53weeks
This is Oma (Grandma) in the Stadtpark in the beautiful city of Hamburg. She says “the best years were my thirties”, My reply “unfortunately mine are all but gone!” “You’ve still got your forties to come!” That’s all very well but if the thirties were the best years, where do we go from here? They say the old thirties are the new fifties. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! P.S. she’ll be ninety-three this year so she ought to […]

Week 21 – Back to basics…..
by 53weeks
This was taken early in the morning whilst on my way to work on that “sit up and beg” style Dutch bike of mine that I have mentioned previously. The view is from the Havelstrasse across to the Hans Otto theatre in Potsdam. I’ve finally gone full frame, albeit analogue. This was shot with a Pentacon 50mm f1.8 (effectively a Meyer Oreston 50mm f1.8) lens on a Praktica MTL3 camera which were last produced around 1984. The MTL3 is completely […]

This is the avenue that runs between the Orangery and the Dragonhouse (Belvedere) in Sanssouci. I seem to have suffered a creative block this week, considering my L.O.F.T. it’s astonishing that I can be susceptible to such a thing. f10 1/125 ISO 100 @30mm

by 53weeks
It’s 21 years ago this Spring since I sat my A-levels and these ladies 20 years my junior will be studying hard as I write to make sure they get the grade for Uni. I certainly don’t envy them in the slightest. Without wanting to sound like the pompous “old git” that I really am, I’d like to say to them “make the most of it all and above all enjoy it!”, I know I did (and do). The picture […]

by 53weeks
And lots of them! Apparently the official translation is “Ale-Bench” although I’ve never heard of this expression and I find the literal translation of “Bierbank” somehow more pleasing, even if it isn’t correct. Sunday evening and the very last minute, with the inspiration once again coming from elsewhere (the usual source). All rather hurried in every respect as well, sorry for that and I hope you like it anyway. f 8 1/5 ISO 200 -1 ev 26mm

Thanks to Antje for this week’s entry, I was definitely in need of some inspiration for one reason or another. Spring hasn’t quite made it yet, even if the clocks have gone forward this last weekend.

Here we are back in not so exotic territories but home nonetheless. Many thanks to Tom for this week’s suggestion and of course to the unknown cyclist who rounded off the picture nicely.

by 53weeks
It’s nearly twenty years ago since I first heard this song with a very good friend of mine travelling to his home in a small German town on the Polish border. Being six months into my year abroad at the time, it reminded me very much of my own home in the North West of England. Today I see the song in a slightly different light…. guilty as charged?

I think you may have to get used to a number of these banks being within the boundaries of the city of Potsdam, as well as being taken at the last possible moment during the week.

by 53weeks
“It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be a painter, because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the extraordinary.” – David Bailey – In “Face,” (London), Dec 1984. It is with this in mind that we set off on our 53 week photographic journey. There are few things more ordinary than a bank, so in […]
