Documents

Seen through a window in Prague, sixteen years ago. One wonders what has happened to them since and where they are now.

Addendum: This photo was shown in the Bronx Banter in April 2011.

Undercrossing

Near Hanover's main train station in September 1995.

The M4-P with the 50mm Summicron and HP5 in HC-110.

Part 5

The next one of this series after a small break. A window somewhere in Braunschweig in October 1995.

Shot with the M4-P and the 50mm Summicron on HP5 Plus which was developed in HC-110.

Lines

This one was taken in September 1995 at Hanover's main train station. I don't recall that particular day, but it is pretty obvious that I liked the interplay of the wooden planks on the right with the lines of the coat and the traces of rain drops on the poster. I still think the photo ain't too shabby.

Kafka

I like cemeteries and I like Franz Kafka, so when we were in Prague in 1994, I definitely had to visit the New Jewish Cemetery in Žižkov where Kafka was buried. It's a beautiful place and it has all what I like about cemeteries - peace, quietness, hints of the past, and sometimes signs of neglect and decay.

I had just started to photograph "in earnest" and I don't think any of my photos from Prague are really good. But this one at least captures the mood of the place on this particular afternoon quiet well.

Taken in September with the Nikon on Ilford HP5 Plus.
