Week 30 – Independence Day ……
by 53weeks
… remember the film? Looks similar doesn’t it? I’ve been here many times before and even blogged about it twice. This project never ceases to amaze me and there’s still no end in sight. (As you might have noticed the horizon was a little wonky today, nothing serious and it won’t shouldn’t happen again.) Fujifilm X100 Fujinon f2 23mm Aperture and NIK

Week 1 – Bitterly Cold
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 Bridge
by 53weeks
Well this is it, one year of benches (banks etc.) completed. I was hoping to finish off with an absolute highlight but the lack of time, the dark evenings and the horribly warm wet weather have put paid to that idea. One suggestion was for a portrait of me on a bench as the grand finale, but luckily you’ve been spared that sight. That was the good news, the bad news is that I’ve really enjoyed doing this project so […]

Week 31 – Polperro and Stonehenge
by 53weeks
These are the last two taken on holiday. The first one shows the lovely fishing village of Polperro which was just down the road from Looe (Cornwall) where we spent the second week of our England and Wales round-trip. The second picture was shot on the way back to Harwich at Stonehenge. f/14 1/125 ISO 400 @17mm f/14 1/250 ISO 400 @30mm Pol. Filter

Week 28 – Don’t you just love blondes…….
by 53weeks
and this one is a very special example…… meet the aptly named Bonny. She is a very obedient, patient and easy going girl, quite prepared to have her pictures taken in the rain sitting next to her favourite treat without complaint. A real low maintenance girl…….. f/4 1/80 ISO 100 @30mm

Week 27 – The Saale
by 53weeks
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 25 – Verena and Paris
by 53weeks
This week’s picture is a tribute to a great Frenchman, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry both an aviator and a children’s author. Second only to that man Eric in French history…..

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 23 – Rainy Milano
by 53weeks
This is Uli, my colleague on a very wet day in Milan. We went from a glorious nearly 30°C in Berlin to a miserable 18°C and rain in Milan. Still I got to see the San Siro from the outside so all in all not bad for a day’s business trip. The first picture (above) is a crop of the second (below), as usual I couldn’t decide so I’m hedging my bets once again. Both (of course) f4 1/1250 ISO […]

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 […]

Week 20 – The Avenue
by 53weeks
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

Week 19 – The Schleizer Triangle
by 53weeks
Schleiz’s claim to fame is one of the oldest “natural” race tracks in Germany. The first ever race took place on the 10th of June 1923, with the aim being to race as far as possible and as quickly as possible on five litres of fuel. The winner of the car race was Mr. Huldreich Heußer with a total distance of 87.3 km and an average of 41.4 km/h (which quite incidentally is similar to what I get out of […]

Week 13 – Beer Benches to You!
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. It was taken from Park Babelsberg overlooking the Havel River to the city of Potsdam.

Week 8 – Zum Zipfelteich
by 53weeks
Here’s a picture of the little people and their mother on a rather curious looking bank. It was taken during one of those now so very familiar winter walks in the south-east of the country. This is a place I will undoubtedly be visiting again this year albeit, in a somewhat tempered climate. I might even use this location as a changing of the seasons project within this project because it really is ever so pretty here. f8 1/25 ISO […]

Week 6 – BOGOF
by 53weeks
This weeks offer is a BOGOF (not to be mixed up with BOBFOC), where you get two for the price of one, which probably applies for both actually….. I just couldn’t decide between the two. So why don’t you decide? Both photographs were taken of the same bank on the floodplains of the Wisenta River in Schleiz (Thuringia). I was hoping for a little more variety of motifs, when I set out, i.e. a balance between portrait and landscape […]

Week 5 – Green and Grey
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 don’t really think so, this isn’t the land of gold […]

Week 2 Potsdam – “The-Bread-Roll-Run”
by 53weeks
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. The more observant of you will have noticed that this was taken on a Sunday, hence it was taken on the first day of the new 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 […]
