Into the night

This picture was by pure chance, it was late at night, totaly dark in a mountainous area (Bird´s mountains, right in the middle of Germany http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vogelsberg_Mountains),

A friend of mine who was driving came around the curve and I saw these reflective lines and traffic posts. Suddenly I shouted to my friend “Stop, I have to take a picture”.
We were on the road in the darkness for hours but until this moment when we went around the curve I have never seen this. There was a little bit more ambient light, but this is more like what I had envisioned in my mind when I shouted “Stop”.

The Shepherd´s Pipe

Black And White Photography, Joerg, Photography

My name is Joerg Thamer and due to technical difficulties I am exactly one week late to the party. What can I say, about the middle of May I got an invitation to join Monochromia, thanks Joe for the vote of confidence. It is both an honor and a pleasure for me to be part of this new photoblog.

I was born and raised in Hessen, Germany a village along the banks of the river Lahn and I still live there to this day. I have been running around with a camera since I was a little child. I was in charge of carrying my fathers Leica rangefinder around. From my early twenties on, I used photography as a tool to capture things I needed for my profession as a illustrator. Over the years a huge stockpile of photos were raised, mostly Diapos, and about 5 years ago I decided to clean up this “mess”.

What is left of them you can see (at least those I want to share), as well as my current images at this link to my site –
