Picture of the Day: Overexposed in Ephesus

13 07 2009

In 1983 I visited Ephesus in Turkey. It was the middle of the day, the sun was beating down. The lighting meter of a friend’s camera did not work, so I measured a shot for him, just as these two young soldiers walked by. I had to take the shot, even if it was not well exposed.  And the print I scanned suffered a bit over the years.

Picture of the Day: Amsterdam Airport Runways

8 07 2009

These two shots I took while waiting for family to arrive at Schiphol Airport. These are shot with the NOkia 6500 Slide. This phone takes quite good pictures. Just fun to play with when there is no Nikon around :-)

Picture of the Day: The Wedding Photographer

16 06 2009

Naarden is a small town in Holland, where each two years a photography exhibition is organized. In galleries and outside in the town you can see lots of exhibitions of known and to be known photographers. This picture is taken in june 2005. A photographer tries to capture a bride and groom in his own way, while his assistant captures him on his mobile.

Picture of the Day: collective shoot 2, storytelling!

3 03 2009

Scott Thomas organized a second task for a new collective shoot. This time the subject is ’storytelling’. By the way, if you want to participate in this fun thing, visit Scott’s blog to let him know!

Here are some pictures that may or may not tell stories. For sure I know why I took them, but I leave it to the viewer to come up with his or her story. I always hope that the picture is not that ‘rigid’ so there is room to see different things in it. Here are a few stories! I hope you enjoy them. Feedback is always welcome!
