The 2017 Christmas Lecture

 STREET PHOTOGRAPHY
 - and there's no
"lecture",
 just use your eyes.

The big man, obviously loved,

the old woman,
enjoying Chopins second nocturne.

Eternal friendship













Digital kids

Düsseldorf in the sixties






And Düsseldorf now.

Half frame Чайка

18x24 Half frame.

I think it's best for small groups like these,
not for the big landscapes.

Чайка-II performs vèry well with the
28mm Индустар-69,
Fuji200 in vèry tired Colortec.

Deutschland

Yes of course I also was in Germany.
With some of the big names:
DDR PRAKTICA (top),
third Reich LEITZ and the
BRD ZEISS (left).

Look below for Russia, Italy and the Netherlands

Nederland

And (see posts below) of course I made some pics in the Netherlands; with the 1928 Brownie 116, and the fifties Colorsnap and the Argus + Cintar.

Firenze

 And I also (see post below) was in Firenze, once again.
With the 120 Ferrania Eura, the 127 Bencini and Ibis, and my "new" 135 Closter Sport.

Россия

 Of course I was in Russia, this winter. With the Horizon 202, Zenit 122 + Юпитер 11,
the Ломо 135 м.
I simply forgot to put some pictures here..

minolta 16QT

I never shoot 36 pics on a 135 film, so I often cut off about 30 cm to put it in my 16mm Киев or Minoltas, for 6 or 7 pics.
Always nice to really use them, and not only "possess".
(This was Fomapan100 in old Orwo A 03)

The May 2017 cross-over

 Once again I show you a tiny bit of my disgraceful digital life.
Starting with the Jays that were born in my bedroom, (yes, also this year they enjoy my hospitality) a Cybershotpic, and then all the other birds I like so much, with the Sigma.

Al fresco !

Frühling - Schweinelendchen noch drinnen, aber doppio draussen. Und weil demnächst Sommer, Italien:

1957 Closter Sport testen.
Mit Schraubenzieher und cyanacetat lässt sich nicht jedes Problem beseitigen, aber das regt mich nicht auf.

Die Eroberung der digitalen Welt

Demnächst: Geburtstag.
Also: Sekt - und Mörchen mit Médaillons. Einkaufen bei Karstadt: RosmarinKartoffeln, die "Caviar"Trilogie von Friedrichs und mehr. Schönes Wetter auch noch!

In der Horizon 202 war 1987 HP5. Von Ilford, versteht sich.
