The Visual Chronicle

That Night

Meho

He opened the door and a woman stood there on the porch with anxious eyes.

May I help you? Says the man.

Oh… I just want to see Eric.

Eric? There is no Eric in here

No Eric… ? Are you sure? Damn…

Of course I am…

She said nothing more, took two steps back and, just before he closed the door, he seen the depth of the inevitability in her face.

There was nothing to add. Nothing more to say. She had already thought of this possibility but wouldn’t believe it. What she feared the most in the last 6 years was now a reality….

The Reader

Black And White Photography, David, Photography

The title should read “Never think you are finished for the day.”

The picture above, “The Reader” is an example of that. I’d spent the morning taking pictures while on a visit to the city of Bergen here in Norway. The weather was cloudy and it was raining, which will come as no surprise to people that live in Norway.

I’d kind of given up for the day after taking some lackluster shots while walking the streets. I was looking forward to lunch. We ended up at a restaurant famous for its Fish soup. While waiting for our order (It was lunchtime and the place was busy) I noticed a lady sitting by the window reading. The light was perfect. I slowly raised my Leica MP and shot off a couple of frames of Ilford XP2 between the shoulders of my friends sitting opposite me.

The result…well you can judge for yourselves.

So, as I said never think you are finished for the day 🙂

Weathered Shadows

Black And White Photography, Photography

Weathered clapboards with peeling paint and two paned windows.

Nikon D90, 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 lens, extended to 48mm, 1/160 sec @ f/11, ISO 200

Weathered. Echoing with music … and footsteps of aspiring dancers.
Abandoned. Housing only shadows of times long past.

Cold Water

Black And White Photography, Joerg, Photography

A very hot day in South France / 1995, Kiki was refreshing herself in the garden.
Pictures were taken with a Nikon 801 / analog – pure chance pictures,
because I had just arrived that moment with the camera in my hand.

Hangar

Meho

I’m very busy at this 2014 start of the new school year. I would like to be more present, give more feedback on your images and more answers to your comments, but we will have to resume it later!

Blue Point Oysters

Black And White Photography, Joseph, Photography

Fujifilm X-T1 and Fujinon XF 35mm f/1.4 R Lens – 1/250 @ f/2.8

This is a photo of an old Oyster processing plant on the South Shore of Long Island. Look at the pile of shucked oysters on the work table. The shores around Long Island were so rich in oysters that crushed oyster shells were actually used for landfill in some parts of Manhattan (as mentioned in the movie “The Bone Collector”). I loved the way the light was beaming in through the skylights in the roof rafters.
