Time keeps on slipping…
Weary, tired, no good…
And time is hard to keep track of if you have lots of things to think about, to worry about!

Mystic Forest
No I have not been to a mysterious forest in parts unknown. This is just around the corner, a short 5 minute’s walk away.
I just wanted to play around with creating some otherworldly views from my rather bland landscape / forestscape photos.

Ahem… I made a mistake
In a recent post I said Ansel Adams did not print his photos himself…. awful crazy error, obviously! It was Henri Cartier Bresson of course! Sorry for that one! Continue reading Ahem… I made a mistake
Hi-Key – Lo-Key
Two very different concepts in photography, two different ways to represent the world!
Which ones do you prefer? Certainly anyone must have a preference?
Or not…
No Cheat!
Some days ago I asked if it was allowed to cheat in photography, and your responses were as varied as welcome.
In short, you think that the cheating I did was excessive… and I’m vey much OK with that.
“I want everybody to be a self-learner. I don’t believe in teaching, I believe in learning.”
Imogen Cunningham I love this quote by that wonderful lady that left us so many exceptional photographs! I won’t dare to compare my stuff to her work, certianly not. But I am perfectly OK with her view. I never took photography classes (that shows, eh?), I never attended expensive seminars or such stuff offered by photographers.

It’s been a year now!
Yes, a whole year and some since I developed my last film. I checked!
And that year has been a long slow agony. Really, a horrible series of days, weeks and months that are mostly lost for me.
Why that… sorry, not really your business. Suffice to say that life kept me from doing what I really wanted to do.
And I listened to life, stupid me.
Been up to no good…
…and messed around some with the site. What do you think? No, honestly! And I promise to be good and post some NEW stuff in the next days! Yayyyyyyyyy Continue reading Been up to no good…
