It has been a long time since I updated this site. Even the little series of photographs “My Five Miles”, which I created when we had to stay within 5 miles from home, got stuck in the drafts folder.
The pandemic is still in full swing and the next few months are very uncertain in many ways. Nevertheless, I feel it is time for sharing some photographs again here from the coast and around.
Two major photographic events are on the horizon for me: first, the 2021 Calendar is almost ready and I will post the images soon. And second, I am going to showcase some of my work at the Coastal Arts League Gallery in Half Moon Bay for three months starting Dec 22, 2020.
Recently I started to experiment more with black&white photography and the series above is my initial attempt. Meanwhile, I learned more about B&W techniques from people like Mike Johnston (theonlinephotographer.com), Ming Thein (blog.mingthein.com), and Julia Anna Gospodarou (blog.juliaannagospodarou.com). The resources they provide online are very inspirational and incredibly helpful!
While most of the images above don’t hold up to my “new standards”, I did not re-process any of them since to a certain extent they reflect my mood during the lock-down and it might be interesting to compare them with images, I hopefully will put up a year from now.
Greetings from the Coast-side,
Ingo
