“Everything happens around us, but no one knows how. Everything is before us, but no one sees the source. All together and individually, people value that part of knowledge that is already known. They do not know how to use the unknown in order to achieve knowledge with it. Isn't that a delusion? ”
Chuang Tzu
Taking pictures a tool (camera), not a photographer.
The choice of tool limits the possibilities.
Experience allows him (instrument) less and less to limit their capabilities.
The ability to see is given only when the observer allows ...
The moment of observation is the real find ...
Training and mastering it defies. Training leads to poor imitations of the original.
Often the result should ripen, like wine. Although time is the understanding of the mind, therefore it is very speculative.
The meaning of all this is the process!
Find someone who inspires shooting the camera!

"In the entire time you've been here have you said thank you once?" she asked in a rebuke to my manners.
J'aime vraiment la douceur des aubes et des crépuscules, ces moments où le monde bascule et semble faire la paix avec lui même.

Sarawak est un endroit si beau. Cette fois j'ai cherché une lumière plus "flamande." J'espère qu'elle sera bien accueillie.

this portrait captures a quiet, contemplative moment filled with character and depth. the man’s profile, framed by his hat and illuminated by soft natural light, tells a story of experience and calm. the blurred background, with hints of cars and urban life, contrasts beautifully with his stillness, creating a balance between movement and reflection. the black-and-white treatment emphasizes the textures in his face and suit, bringing focus to the timeless quality of the scene. this is a portrait that finds poetry in the everyday, celebrating both the individual and the world around him.
a portrait steeped in quiet reflection and timeless dignity. captured at bar cristal on plaça espanya in palma de mallorca, this moment speaks of stories untold and wisdom gained through the years. the interplay of light and shadow draws you in, while the bustling energy of bar cristal fades into the background. this is more than a photographâitâs a window into a life well-lived.
it was a moment straight out of a french film—on the historic pont neuf, i came across her: a woman exuding parisian charm with her beret tipped perfectly, her white blouse catching the warm afternoon light. the wind teased her hair as she adjusted her hat, a natural elegance that seemed unmistakably french. but, as it turns out, she wasn’t parisian at all—just a german tourist basking in the city’s aura. still, for those fleeting seconds, she was paris.
in a café in paris. i asked if i could take her photo. she handed me her phone. told me where to stand. how to frame her. i said i was a photographer. that i would use my own camera. and that her composition wasn’t ideal. she didn’t listen. insisted. so i took the iphone shots. she wasn’t satisfied. "farther away," she kept saying. after this strange shoot, i took two photos with my camera. ignored her directions. she looked doubtful. went inside. came out with another man. he photographed her too. she didn’t look at me again. i sent her my photos on instagram. later, as she walked past, she smiled. said, “très bien.”

The inside of this Moskvitch 407 breathes pure Soviet nostalgia! Here are some of the interior features: Dashboard: Simple and functional, with a central speedometer that goes up to 140 km/h. This matches the top speed of about 115 km/h. Steering Wheel: A large, thin steering wheel with a striking decorative clock in the center. This is probably a personal addition by the owner. Upholstery: The steering wheel has a braided cover, something that was popular in the past for extra grip and comfort. Switches & Knobs: To the left of the steering wheel are switches for lights and other basic functions, while the ventilation buttons and heater control are to the right of the steering wheel. Old Soviet gauge units: The gauges display things like battery voltage (Ампер - Ampere) and fuel level (Бензин - Gasoline), in classic Cyrillic letters. This interior is a great snapshot of how cars were built in the Soviet Union in the 1950s and 1960s—rugged, minimalist, and functional.
Moskvitch 407:
Production period: 1958 - 1963
Country of origin: Soviet Union (made by AZLK, later known as Moskvitch)
Engine: 1.4L four-cylinder with about 45 hp
Transmission: Manual, usually with three or four gears
Drive: Rear-wheel drive
Design: Classic 1950s look with round headlights, chrome accents, and a simple, sturdy grille
Popularity: Known for its reliability and was exported to several countries, including Western Europe
Photo taken at the Dariali Monastery near the border of Georgia and Russia.
De binnenkant van deze Moskvitch 407 ademt pure Sovjet-nostalgie! Hier zijn een paar kenmerken van het interieur: Dashboard: Simpel en functioneel, met een centrale snelheidsmeter die tot 140 km/u gaat. Dit past bij de maximale snelheid van ongeveer 115 km/u. Stuurwiel: Een groot, dun stuur met een opvallend decoratief klokje in het midden. Dit is waarschijnlijk een persoonlijke toevoeging van de eigenaar. Bekleding: Het stuur heeft een gevlochten hoes, iets wat vroeger populair was voor extra grip en comfort. Schakelaars & Knoppen: Links van het stuur zitten schakelaars voor de verlichting en andere basisfuncties, terwijl de ventilatieknoppen en de kachelregeling rechts van het stuur zitten. Oude Sovjet-meterunits: De meters tonen zaken als de accuspanning (Ампер - Ampère) en brandstofniveau (Бензин - Benzine), in klassieke Cyrillische letters. Dit interieur is een prachtig tijdsbeeld van hoe auto's in de jaren '50 en '60 in de Sovjet-Unie waren gebouwd—robuust, minimalistisch en functioneel. Foto genomen bij het Dariali klooster vlakbij de grens tussen Georgië en Rusland.

This is a Moskvitch, a classic Soviet car that was popular in the second half of the 20th century. The specific car in the photo appears to be a Moskvitch 407, produced between 1958 and 1963. This car was one of the better Soviet models at the time and was known for being durable and relatively easy to repair. This example still has an old Soviet-style license plate, indicating that it is a well-preserved classic.

Populariteit: Bekend om zijn betrouwbaarheid en werd geëxporteerd naar verschillende landen, waaronder West-Europa. Deze auto was destijds één van de betere Sovjet-modellen en stond bekend als duurzaam en relatief eenvoudig te repareren. Dit exemplaar heeft nog steeds een oude Sovjet-achtige kentekenplaat, wat aangeeft dat het een goed bewaard gebleven klassieker is.

paris. the city of light. the city of art. the city of men like him. sitting on a folding chair, smoking, talking, waiting. behind him, a world drawn on a wallâgraffiti, stickers, inked names of those who left their mark. his black suit, a little worn, but worn with pride. the watch still shining. the cigarette still burning.
maybe heâs an artist. maybe heâs a storyteller. maybe heâs just watching time pass by, as the tourists come and go, as the pigeons circle, as the light shifts between the cracks of the buildings.
one last sip from the tiny cup. one last word to a stranger. and thenâwho knows?
walking through the city, finding light, letting moments happen. portraits should feel like passing glances, like something seen from the corner of your eye. no studios, no setups—just people in places, blending in, standing out. here, the glow does the work, wrapping him in warmth, making the ordinary feel cinematic. part of a series with jan hofer, longtime anchor of germany’s iconic news program tagesschau.
A montage of a number of my classicstyle mocs from my instagram @classicstylecastle. Instructions Available! 📚 Link in comments. Inspired by the great pictures of old catalogues a number of people have been re-posting online recently, and the awesome work of @the_brick_stop on instagram. Hopefully some new stuff coming soon.
It's been a few days (felt like forever) since I worked on a project or uploaded one to social media. Had issues with my software. All is well now

A windmill in Netherlands worth to be treated in a classical Dutch painting style. What does it mean is explained very well in wikipedia:
... "A more realistic Dutch landscape style developed, seen from ground level, often based on drawings made outdoors, with lower horizons which made it possible to emphasize the often impressive cloud formations that were (and are) so typical in the climate of the region, and which cast a particular light.
Favorite subjects were the dunes along the western sea coast, rivers with their broad adjoining meadows where cattle grazed, often with the silhouette of a city in the distance. Winter landscapes with frozen canals and creeks also abounded. The sea was a favourite topic as well since the Low Countries depended on it for trade, battled with it for new land, and battled on it with competing nations.
Important early figures in the move to realism were Esaias van de Velde (1587–1630) and Hendrick Avercamp (1585–1634), both also mentioned above as genre painters – in Avercamp's case the same paintings deserve mention in each category.
From the late 1620s the "tonal phase" of landscape painting started, as artists softened or blurred their outlines, and concentrated on an atmospheric effect, with great prominence given to the sky, and human figures usually either absent or small and distant."
