Week 40 – She’s always a woman

October 10, 2011 by 53weeks

There’s a song by a man called Billy Joel which I’d like to dedicate to my accomplice in life. It is she around whom my world has turned for the last nineteen years. It’s called “She’s always a woman” and goes like this: She can kill with a smile She can wound with her eyes She can ruin your faith with her casual lies And she only reveals what she wants you to see She hides like a child But […]

August 11, 2011 by 53weeks

These are the last two taken on holiday.

Week 29 – Coming Home

August 8, 2011 by 53weeks

Some of you might have guessed that the project has not died, moreover everybody is entitled to a bit of a holiday sometime. After driving back through Germany and the Netherlands this was the view that greeted us on the Stena ferry taking us home. There will be more to come over the next few days to catch up. f/16 1/60 ISO 400 @17mm

Week 19 – The Schleizer Triangle

May 16, 2011 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 14 – The Class of 2011

April 9, 2011 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 […]

Week 13 – Beer Benches to You!

April 4, 2011 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

Week 12 – Katharinenholz

March 28, 2011 by 53weeks

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. It is however “in the air” as they say. This was taken at Katharinenholz in Bornim (Potsdam) f10 1/160 ISO 400 30mm

Week 11 – Park Babelsberg

March 21, 2011 by 53weeks

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. Thanks also, to those readers who pointed out that I have been living abroad for too long and that my blog should be named “53 Weeks on a bench” rather than “53 […]

Week 8 – Zum Zipfelteich

February 28, 2011 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 2 Potsdam – “The-Bread-Roll-Run”

January 18, 2011 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. This is correct, unless you live in Germany, where the first day of the week is a […]

Week 1 Dallgow Döberitzer Heide

January 18, 2011 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 […]
