Low flying (2)

Maarten — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 09:18:31 +0000

This swallow was flying very low between the houses and the people on a small square in Cordoba, Spain. I tried many time to capture the bird but only a few photos showed a hint of it. This lucky shot I liked the best. My other low flying photo composition can be found here: Low Flying.

One Sunday morning when driving to Sevilla we stopped in a village for some coffee. The church just ended and the terras of a bar across the road filled with people.

One evening in Sevilla there were al kinds of processions. The shrines were literally walking through the streets follow by bands playing music.

Forest Exercise

Maarten — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 20:20:12 +0000

I’ve been wondering what people can do on these two exercise “structures”, for lack of a better word. And even more why would you want to do anything like that in the middle of a forest?!

Paris Street View

Maarten — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 20:51:02 +0000

On the Zuidas, in the south of Amsterdam, an open air exhibition called Paris Street View opened recently. Michael Wolf took pictures of his monitor on which he used Google Maps street view functionality to look at the streets of Paris. Here are two snaps I took of this exhibition.

Lines and moon

Maarten — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 10:38:35 +0000

Walking around in the business district near my neighborhood yesterday afternoon I saw this scene: strict architectural lines, a knotty tree crown and the moon. I was walking around the area because of a photo exhibition by Michael Wolf called Paris Street View. More about that in another post.

Track with ice

Maarten — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 19:50:56 +0000

Yesterday I received the intriguing photo book of Bernard Fuchs called “Roads and Paths“. When I was in my early teens I would often fantasize about where a path or road would lead to. Some of these ancient roads would lead to other continents of over high mountains, up to the top, where they would end. This books show roads and paths, small, hidden or unclear and indecisive.

Today I walked to a nearby park when I saw a car track which was filled with pieces of ice. This brought my mind back to the book, which I bought after only having a look at the front cover and reading the title. After not making photos for some weeks I finally took a couple, one of them you can see below.

Snow and Dogs

Maarten — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 21:32:58 +0000

Snow in the Netherlands. Just a little, many people would say, but the whole infrastructure is out of order. For many kids it is great fun since their holidays started this weekend.

Curbstone Paris

Maarten — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 17:30:17 +0000

As part of my Curbstone project I took some curbstone photos with my Voigtlander 15mm lens on a Leica M8. More results can be seen in the Curbstone gallery.

Old Paris

Maarten — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 20:19:15 +0000

In these days of “everything sharp” photos I felt this photo fitted perfectly with the mood I sensed in Paris.

Louvre Cafe

Maarten — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 20:54:57 +0000

Part of the Louvre are lots of places where you can just enjoy Paris and look at other people. Le Cafe Marly surely is one of them. To look at the people looking at other people is just as much fun!

A man in Paris

Maarten — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 19:35:51 +0000

Walking along the Seine river I saw this man looking at me. He must have been there for a long time already.

Panorama from Arc de Triomphe

Maarten — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 21:55:42 +0000

I took two panoramas when I was on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. This one is taken while looking in the direction of Bois de Boulogne, which you can see if you look down my favorite avenue just right from the middle. The avenue right of that one leads to La Defense with the modern version of the Arc de Triomphe called La Grande Arche.
