SADNESS

‘Sometimes I feel so sad, so bad’, Mercury sung. Today I feel pretty good, however this image shows contrary. I made it some days after yesterdays image and still can feel the sorrow it expresses.

Life and dead and a couple of days in between. Things go fast in real life. Anyway it’s time to enjoy every minute.

I did it during composing and this time during writing about it. I love the image and the transience carrying it inside.

ENJOY!

TOGETHER….

Sometimes you have to wonder about life. Most of the time, by the way.

But during this period time passes by in a way of unconsciousness. Time does not exist. Especially not for grandfathers.

On a sunny day somewhere in the neighborhood of a young forest I spot my grandchildren passing by. It’s a moment I will never forget.

ENJOY!

DAY 038 – 100 DAY JOURNAL (2) – DEPTH

Some people – like my good old father – feel dizzy when they look at depth. Once I saved a wife on a mountain. The hill being too steep. In my home town I found a ditch with a rail of which I took a portrait. Please don’t look down, but

ENJOY !

DAY 037 – 100 DAY JOURNAL (2) – AS USUAL

Some people react by saying ‘as usual’. Looking at some gardens in my home town Papendrecht. However you can ask for yourself how usual nature can be. Every time – in spring – a new miracle is happening. So

ENJOY !

DAY 029 – 100 DAY JOURNAL (2) – FLYING

It takes a couple of weeks before they fly away. The seeds of the tree in my garden. Did you know I can fly too? I am not only a photographer but I am a flyer too. I fly in my dreams. I fly low over fields and people are looking at me. They wave and ask ‘how do you do that?’. I never give any answer. According to my daughter this happens early in the morning. I do not harm anybody. So I like to go on with it like my tree does within some weeks.

ENJOY !

 

DAY 028 – 100 DAY JOURNAL(2) – FANTASY

I just remembered my daily journal. I almost forgot it for today. So I have to use my fantasy. I just red something about “playing all day”. Nice is it, don’t you think? Playing  is using your fantasy. Like I do right now. I found a toy car in the window of my bedroom and I made a picture of it. Doing nothing else but playing. So

ENJOY !

DAY 023 – 100 DAY JOURNAL (2) – WOODY

Some years ago I’ve got Woody Woodpecker during my birthday. I built it on a tree in front of my house. As I planned to move I tried to take Woody with me. Impossible. Woody seems to love his tree as he does not move for one millimeter. To the new owners of my house I advise:

DAY 020 – 100 DAY JOURNAL (2) – TWO OF A KIND

My summer flowers! I sowed  them in some pots in the back of my garden. I’ve got an automatic watersystem which means I have to empty the water-cask by day in order to avoid overflow. I don’t believe this to be a problem for the flowers as they grow meanwhile. So

ENJOY !

DAY 019 – 100 DAY JOURNAL (2) – BACK IN TIME

Coming back in time has been essential to avoid rain and  thunderstorms. Camping for some days is a pleasure to do. Especially when the wheater is pretty. Nowadays the Netherlands are confronted with low pressure areas. So you have to be back home in time. My trip back home has been succesfull, however I could not avoid a litlle bit of rain.

ENJOY !

DAY 018 – 100 DAY JOURNAL (2) – REPRODUCTION

Today I have spent the most of my time on printing. Reproductions of former work. It’s fun to do it. Looking with the eyes of today means to increase contrast sometimes. I have lots of printing papers so I had to download several ICC  profiles. I call it art, because I think it is true.

ENJOY !
