Revolution

Black And White Photography, Joerg, Photography


Well, it was not a Revolution, the Photo was taken during
the Maastricht (NL) Street Carnival.
But somehow it reminded me of the Painting “La Liberté guidant le peuple”
by the french Painter Eugène Delacroix.

20190623-untitled shoot-2-Edit

My wife and I attended a local exhibition by a known (Maybe not so well) by Lul Krag(1878-1956). As she drew and painted in charcoal and black ink this shot could have made it onto this page without me adjusting it. However I have done a straight conversion and only added the frame this is straight out of the camera (…well almost).
Leica M9P
Summilux 35mm /1.4 ASPH shot wide open at 1/45th
ISO 200
The only lighting was from the lights on the picture,

Silhouette

While preparing this post, we’re having a quite hot summer day. It’s not so hot as it was earlier this week, but it’s still over 33°C (91°F). I really love these hot days of the year, just because we only have so few of them. Sitting outside with friends ’till midnight only wearing a t-shirt and shorts is sooo good.

The image above is taken in very similar conditions. But, it’s taken in Brittany, France against the sun to create this cut-out look.

Berthing Space

Black And White Photography, Emilio, Photography

Berthing Space on the USS Midway

During World War II, Navy sailors slept in “racks”, berthing spaces on their ship, 3ft x 6ft cots/bunks stacked 3 high. The space between the mat and the roof above your head for the bottom and middle bunk was approx. 30″. Some sailors would string up hammocks to sleep on in the ship. When it was too hot they would sleep on the deck of the ship.

And it was always too hot!
