Week Three – A little ditty about…..

A Brandenburger winter at its best….

Week 3 – Winter Wonderland
I was going to do this week on derelict buildings and then I scanned these two and all that changed…..
P.S. As you see I still don’t seem to have got over my “analogue” phase just yet, and to be honest there’s no end in sight!

Week 47 – Christmas Comes but Once a Year……..
Just to get you in the mood, here’s a warm, wet and windy Christmas market as opposed to a freezing, snowy, festive Christmas market.
Let’s hope it gets very much colder before the big day!

Week 8 – Zum Zipfelteich
Here’s a picture of the little people and their mother on a rather curious looking bank. It was taken during one of those now so very familiar winter walks in the south-east of the country.
This is a place I will undoubtedly be visiting again this year albeit, in a somewhat tempered climate. I might even use this location as a changing of the seasons project within this project because it really is ever so pretty here.

P.S. Sorry about the blown out sky but sometimes you just can’t choose when you get the opportunity to shoot, and I really didn’t want to “Photoshop” it.
Week 6 – BOGOF
This weeks offer is a BOGOF (not to be mixed up with BOBFOC), where you get two for the price of one, which probably applies for both actually…..
I just couldn’t decide between the two. So why don’t you decide?
Both photographs were taken of the same bank on the floodplains of the Wisenta River in Schleiz (Thuringia). I was hoping for a little more variety of motifs, when I set out, i.e. a balance between portrait and landscape photography, however encountering someone sitting on a bank at this time of year in these weather conditions has proved more than just a little challenging.

Week 3 – Moody Skies in the Depth of Winter
Winter once again returns.
Taken on an afternoon walk to break up the all day feast which is synonymous with rural family celebrations.

“It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be a painter, because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the extraordinary.” – David Bailey – In “Face,” (London), Dec 1984.
It is with this in mind that we set off on our 53 week photographic journey. There are few things more ordinary than a bank, so in the hope that not all the images presented are just ordinary, let’s get started.
It was one of the those wonderful Winter afternoons that you get when the easterly winds blow across the North German plains making the air dry, crisp and very cold. We were out with the kids to see how the wild bison, horses and reindeer fared in the conditions. As the winter sun started to set I came across this makeshift bench.
It was my first bank of the year.
