conquer the night
a day turned out to be quite well
Hey again everybody. I sure as anything don’t seem to have a disposition towards posting anymore. But, it’s not that I wouldn’t or dislike it, I just don’t do it. Pics are piling up, I mourn the almost certain death of the adox and, unfortunately, haven’t the money for a new medium format camera and I’m more unsure of my editing skills than ever. This year was a distinct lull, photography wise. I seem to have focused my spare time on prints or, even less helpful to this endeavour, music. Well, maybe this spur of the moment (taken yesterday, edited and uploaded today) shot will kick me back into some sort of gear.
So let’s work backwards from here.Connecting to what I was saying earlier, I was in Cologne (obviously) on a trip tying in to those musical endeavours I occasionally yap about. I was hoping to see the cathedral hiding into more of a mist. In order to avoid the unnerving buzz of the christmas markets I turned towards the Rhine and was directly happy to not have been met by the aforementioned mist. Some yin and yang bullshit right there in that story. I’m still not happy about certain artefacts of digital photography that are visible in this shot but I tried to hide them as much as my editing skills will allow, thus making for a look more analogous to my analogue shots... I hope

I like the geometry of the colours in this one which then iin turn gets “ruined” by the chaos in the foreground. If you know this we might live in the same general vicinity

“Im Kern heißt das: In dem langen Abnutzungskampf, den die Moderne unter dem Banner von Rationalität, Effizienz und Nützlichkeit gegen soziale und moralische Bindungen, Pflichten und Verbindlichkeiten führte, die die Wahlfreiheit einschränkten, trug das selbstbestimmte, selbstbewusste Individuum den Sieg davon - der sich aber nur allzubald als Pyrrhussieg erwies.“ Zygmunt Bauman - Retrotopia

På livets anrop rusar tiden till, förlängande sekunden då man sprängs. Hur fasan blåser in, hur skräcken blåser ut. Hur svårt det alltid är att söndersprängas.
