Silent Observations

A woman sits in the doorway of her house in a Nubian village on the banks of the Nile in Upper Egypt. Wearing a light-colored traditional dress and headscarf, she holds a glass in her hands and enjoys a moment of silent observations. The photograph was made using the available late afternoon light, with sunlight falling across her face and clothing while the interior behind her remains in shadow. Shooting in monochrome was the easy choice to emphasize the contrast between light and dark, drawing attention to her expression and the everyday scene of village life.

Taken with my Nikon Zf and the Nikkor Z 24-200mm f/4-6.3 VR, image specs 1/800 sec @f/6.3 and ISO 2000, 200mm focal length

Night at the Museum

Black And White Photography, David, Photography

Meet Peter. You may recognise him from other posts of mine. He’s a Zoologist . and works at Norways Natural History museum. Long story short. a group of friends and I talked him into doing a guided tour of the museum when it was closed. He met us at the door looking like Richard Attenborough in Jurrasic Park. Needless to say we had a wonderful evening.

Visitation Hotel

The Visitation Hotel in Frederick Maryland has a fascinating history as a cloistered monastery and internationally renowned academic institution. Originally built in 1824, the structure survived fires in 1845 and in 2023, and finally opened as a boutique hotel in December 2024.

The Crossing

Black And White Photography, David Jensen, iPhoneography, Mobile Photography, Photography

While on a rainy day trip to downtown Chicago on the Metra, I grabbed a photo out the wet window of the train of the structure in the background. The timing of the shot also captured the rail crossing which added a starting point and leading line to the buildings in the distance.
