I guess if you want to generate traffic on your site you have to show off cat photos! So here we go: Sully the Cat In a very typical pose. He’s called Sully from Suleiman the Magnificent, being a persian and all… Silly Sully Thanks for stopping by! Continue reading Krazy Kat
Some think that bright sun is good for colours.
I don’t hold with that rule. I prefer black and white in bright sun to bring out the lines, the light and shadows and the structures.
So accompany me on a walk during my lunchbreak if you like.
A view over the rooftops and parks of Luxembourg City in this gorgeous spring weather we have at the moment.
Thunderstorms, inundations and hot, very humid weather.
I think I won’t tell you anything new when I say that my preferred time for making photos is early morning…
And of course when do I catch those moments best?

For the last month I have posted each and every day.
Sometimes just a single photo and No Words…
A few longer pieces were among the haul too. Was it hard?
Not really!
Some days ago I posted some street portraits.
Today I’d like to post another portrait, something I hardly ever do. Not the posting, but the making of portraits. I simply don’t see myself as a portrait photographer.
But that day I had the perfect model right in front of me and the light was right. For once I did not use one of my film cameras but my very nice digital Fuji X20 camera I owned at the time.
It was late summer in 2013. We were sitting in our garden. Me, my wife, my kids, my mother and my grandmother. Granny was feeling a little cold so we wrapped her up in a nicely patterned blanket.
And there was the photo, right in front of me. Ever smiling, the old lady obliged and I made the shot…
She was 92 at the time! A long tough life.
After stupidly selling my film camera in 2004 to buy a crappy Canon digital camera I just kept leaving my gear in it’s camera bag under my desk.
In 2012, the Fuji X100, though a digital camera, brought me back to film and that changed a lot. I started having a camera with me at all times. I started to exercise my eyes to see what the world offered around me.
Mornings before work were already my preferred moments to capture some views.
This particular scene just jumped at me!
Imagine a freezing January morning in 2013, about 7am. I see this very inebriated guy lying on the ground, trying to get up.
Seems that another Fuji film stock has gone. Fujifilm Pro 160N this time. Read it HERE R.I.P. Continue reading Rumors all around…
