After more than a year sitting on my shelf, i started to develop the b/w films of my summer trip in August 2020.
Latergram is my answer to Instagram - i expose a film and put it away for some time without developing it. Sometimes i make notes on the pictures i took and try to imagine how the photograph would look when reading them before developing the film, sometimes i do not take any notes, forget what i took the pictures of and treat myself to a surprise ...

That is the question that blond mom and her two cubs are trying to answer as they stand above the river’s edge watching for salmon. Although there are fish, the tide is still too high, making it very unlikely that she would be able to fish successfully. She and the cubs look good and healthy. It’s still early in the season. Over the next 5 to 6 weeks they will gain enormous amounts of weight. It’s weight needed to survive the bitterly cold winter and carry them into spring. #brownbears
I have SO many I love from her session.
There is something I love about these 2 together.

NOTE: For those that have asked, all my sessions at this location start anywhere from 5-6pm. The sun was very low in the sky as these were the very end of the session, prob. almost 7:30ish. This is a totally open field, no open shade, so if the sun is any higher the lighting is very harsh. With the exception of darkening the shadows via curves, and a very slight color pop, the left one is almost SOOC. The one on the right I processed a bit more. :)
P.S. I had another session there a couple days ago and they have mowed this field down to NOTHING! I think I died a little bit. :(
NOTE#2: More answers....I'm not sure why, but on most of my lenses I seem to like the 3.2 spot. I hardly ever shoot totally wide open just because I do like to see some of the texture the background provides. When the sun is low in the sky, I mainly expose for their skintone and try to make sure there is something behind them (besides sky) so it isn't totally blown out. I would say I might underexpose a tad because I always intend to color pop them a bit and don't want to lose detail. Also, I DON'T use spot metering...it's the one that looks like an "eyeball", parenthesis with the dot, I think it's called evaluative. Spot metering and I have never gotten along. :)
This is another for my "Waiting for his return" series. This is the prequel to my prior "No Answer" post which I have reposted in the comments.
Thanks for looking!!!
Too impatient to wait for the chicken ! Tarcın usually speaks with her eyes and actions to use me as an interpreter...While I'm busy reading or whatever,she comes and looks straight in my eyes,usually meaning 'daddy not giving me the chicken / steak 'etc ..Then I shout to my husband 'Tarcın's daddyyyy ! Give Tarçın her food !' Tarçın eavesdrops ! If she hears my husband's answer,she rushes back to him ! Yet ,whatever that answer is ..Either ' Is she complaining about me again ?' Or 'I wouldn't bother less !' Or 'All right' ,which would be worthwhile !

Two weeks into writing to amazing designers and (oh my god) I still can't believe that so many of them already said: "Yes of course!" (Having in mind that actually everybody said yes, the others simply didn't answer. Sounds even better, right?) Looking at some shops on Etsy, I didn't think in a million years that those people would actually trust me so much with their artwork.
This is what I want to do, working with creative people from all around the world, and I promise you with all the passion I've got:
I will do my very best! *Pinky promise*
Times are quite hard right now, but your encouraging messages and compliments on my work gave me such an uplift, everytime when this white number one on blue backround suddenly popped up, my heart jumped up and down and I felt like doing some cartwheels ..
I can't wait to hold the very first item in my hand, whether it will be some sort of jewelry, an amazingly detailed garment or a headdress slash headpiece, you have no idea how much I appreciate your trust. I really feel honoured, and already a little bit proud, because if my portfolio wasn't what it is today, it would have been a lot harder to crawl out of my comfort zone and ask for collabs. There is still a lot of self-confidence missing when it comes to photography, but I already feel so much better because of your support.
I'm so looking forward to meet some of you sometime next year in the UK, along with a couple of fellow photographers and models. Everytime I think about it I wish I could pack my suitcase right here and now. But as always: Haste makes waste. Thank you so much. ♥
I got this flower at The Imperial Palace Garden, Tokyo.
I don't know what flower it is, I try but cannot find the name, the red color caught my eyes immediately.
Now I know the answer, It's Japanese Quince.
Right as she raised her face off the sidewalk to look up at me the sun broke out from behind a cloud. Then with a very calm and coherent voice she answered, "Yes I am fine. I am resting here waiting for the train to pass." Then she resumed her nap and the sun went away again.

"You take delight not in a city's seven or seventy wonders, but in the answer it gives to a question of yours."
~Italo Calvino, Invisible Cities

It is natural for us as humans to seek guidance throughout many aspects of our life...seeking out answers that while help us accomplish our goals. Often times hoping that the ones we reach out to have all the answers and that they can layout the path in front of us so that we can just easily walk down it. Even though this may work for certain situations in life this can have a negative effect when it comes to creativity...like photography. When I started out in photography I did just that...seeked out the pros for all the answers. I figured that if only they would share their methods I could be as great as them. I have poured over hours upon hours of tutorials, lectures, interviews, blogs and tips..what I have come to slowly realize is that no matter what I have learned, not matter what they have taught me...I still need to find me..my creative side. That I still need to answer my own questions. What do I like, why do I like it..how can I use the tools and skills I have learned to create or capture what I want. We are often so focused on achieving what others have done that we place a blinder on to our own creativity. When it comes to photography both capturing and processing an image there are so many different ways of doing so that really there is no right or wrong answer. You just have to find out what works best for you...what method or path achieves the look you want or helps you get closer to your goal. Use the knowledge and experience of others like a lighthouse to guide you along but keep in mind you still have to stir your way through to the end.
This image was one I had in my mind for a while. I wanted to capture a series of images from twilight to sunrise and blend them together to simulate all those moments in one image. The fading stars as the sun begins to rise. I love the idea of creating an image that displays moments in time through out a sunrise or sunset.
Trying to catch up my delay ... (which is still very big) ... but I need to post a new photo from time to time ...
Thank you in advance for all your faves and comments. I might answer several WEEKS/MONTHS later. And I might post several photos in the meantime.
Merci d'avance pour tous vos faves et commentaires. Je vous répondrai peut-être dans plusieurs SEMAINES/MOIS. Et je posterai peut-être plusieurs photos entre temps.
France. Vosges. Alsace. Bas-Rhin. Cet étang est situé au Col de Steige (534m), qui relie la Vallée de la Bruche et le Val de Villé. Photo prise en improvisant de faire le tour de l'étang.
La photo a été prise depuis la rive ouest de l'étang.
En ce samedi 17 décembre 2022, il y avait encore beaucoup de neige à basse altitude en Alsace, une mer de nuages pas trop épaisse sur la plaine d'Alsace et au-dessus du grand soleil dans un ciel peu nuageux. Ce cocktail est tellement rare, surtout un samedi, que j'ai eu envie d'en profiter au maximum, en allant faire des mini-randonnées à plusieurs endroits différents. Je me suis fixé 2 objectifs principaux. Le 1er à la Cascade de l'Andlau près du Hohwald et le 2nd au Donon. Et pour relier ces 2 endroits, j'avais prévu de passer par le Col du Kreuzweg, Breitenbach, le Val de Villé, le Col de Steige, Ranrupt et la Vallée de la Bruche. Tout au long de cet itinétaire de liaison, je m'autorisais à faire une halte à tout endroit que je trouverais très beau.
Et c'est ce qui s'est passé au Col de Steige. Pourtant, j'y étais déjà passé à d'autres moments de l'année et je n'avais pas estimé que ça valait le coup de s'y arrêter, mais ce n'était pas en conditions hivernales. Il faut dire, que cet étang est particulièrement défiguré par les cicatrices de la civilisation humaine, avec :
- Une grosse et vilaine ligne à haute tension sur sa rive OUEST
- La route D424 sur sa rive EST
- La route D50 sur sa rive SUD
Et avec 2 ronds-points entre les 2 routes. Sa seule rive préservée est la rive NORD mais elle est toute petite ...
Mais ce jour-là, avec la neige et l'étang gelé, le cadre était magique alors je me suis laissé tenter pour en faire le tour (que j'ai bouclé en 30 minutes en prenant tout mon temps). Et je ne l'ai pas regretté, d'autant que je n'y ai croisé que 3 personnes. Sans doute parce qu'il faisait froid (malgré le soleil) et que c'était samedi, où les gens vont beaucoup dans les magasins (surtout si près de Noël).
Sur ce cliché, on peut voir au centre ce petit îlot caractéristique, qui lui apporte une touche bien sympathique, avec sa 10aine d'arbres feuillus et résineux. Pour ce qui est des cicatrices de la civilisation, elles ne sont pas trop visibles sur ce cliché car :
- La ligne à haute tension était dans mon dos,
- Il n'y avait aucune voiture sur les 2 routes au moment de la prise,
- Le Col de Steige et les 2 ronds-points sont cachés derrière l'îlot,
- Les quelques panneaux de signalisation routière ne se voient presque pas grâce aux branches devant ou à la distance.
One day the phone stopped ringing... no matter how many times i call you, it will always be the same... No answer... wish there were phones in heaven...
There's something beating here inside my body
And it's called a heart
You know how easy it is
To tear it apart
If I lend it to you
Will you keep it safe for me
I'll lend it to you
If you treat it tenderly
There's something beating here inside my body
And it's called a heart
There's a sun shining in the sky
But that's not the reason why
I'm feeling warm inside
The answer isn't classified, it's my heart
From the moment I started
I tried to be goodhearted
Yes I tried my best
And more or less
I spoke from my heart
There's a lot to be learnt
And you learn when you heart gets burnt
Hearts could never be owned
Hearts only come on loan
If I want it back
I will take it back, I'll take my heart
But I will try my best and more or less
I will speak from my heart
Yes I will speak from my heart
Speak from my heart

Český ráj National Park, Czech Republic. Shot "in answer" to an image shot by Ming Thein, and then paid homage to by Gerner Christensen. I felt it might be difficult to tred the same path and somehow find an equal image...fortunately Mother Nature provided the inspiration...

Earth raised up her head
From the darkness dread and drear,
Her light fled,
Stony, dread,
And her locks covered with grey despair
- William Blake
But this is how I feel..
