From a Small Box

Pictures from my new film camera, an Agfa Synchro Box. It's a fun cuboid to play with, with a tiny viewfinder that only make sense to the eye when shooting from the hip (or distance equivalent). This makes composition a challenge, and when added to my recent penchant for getting lost inside multiple exposures, means I often make a mess. So, only two pictures from Paris and Zurich make it into the light for now.

Toronto Blue Jays | Canada

Last year, while in Canada, I had the chance to see a baseball game. It was Canada Day and the Rogers Centre was bubbling with patriotism; a sea of red Blue Jays fans baying apologetically for the blood of the four Tigers fans who'd showed up. Never in my life have I felt both more and less Canadian.

I've always considered baseball to be a wee bit boring - like cricket, but with stranger clothes. Nothing seems to happen; men throw balls, men miss balls, men wait, men run short distances. My North American friends tell me this is not the point: the point is to be there and drink beer. And they're right. Unlike watching a game on TV, being in front of the real thing is deliriously exciting. Even buying a huge, floppy slice of pizza to eat with the beer is kind of a thrill. Which is when we missed the Blue Jays hit one, or two home runs in succession. I can't remember. In any case we missed what we were there for, the action, but in another way we didn't. We were there, being Canadian, doing Canadian things as the cheers of the crowd surged through the stadium exits and rumbled over our heads. The Blue Jays beat the Tigers 8-2, the Globe and Mail called it a rout, and Canada went home happy.

Niagara | Canada

I'm finally getting around to wading through my photos from Canada and the US, taken over a year ago. Slow I am. 
Here are some from a day out to Niagara Falls and its environs. It, itself was a big, wet, awe-inspiring thing.

Budapest | Hungary

Budapest, Hungary is the place these few photos are from. And it is a place for which I will always have the softest of spots. For it was the first place I went travelling. Not 'went on holiday', you understand, 'travelling'. It looks the same, but it's different.

Quelle | Germany

One from a wee local station in Deutschland's west. The sun was setting o'er the tracks on which a train retreated. You don't need me to tell you that, though. Look.


Berlin Image Dump

I'd like to have thought of a cleaner name for this post, but it is what it is, which is a pipeline-clearing cascade of images of Berlin taken over the period of a year or more.

Belgium | Brussels

On my way back from shooting a wedding in the east of Belgium earlier this year, I spent a morning in Brussels. It treated me handsomely, told me to come back soon and, next time, to order the mussels instead.

Morocco | Fes

Slim in words as my first Morocco post was fat, here are some images from that country.

Our Many Stories

One of my photo essays from Hanoi, about the Railway Workers KTT, is featured here on the Our Many Stories blog.

Many thanks to Faith Lantz for highlighting my work.

The Seasons of Recent Times

Far Away In Time

Echo Beach that is. In that it feels very far away from Berlin - given that the city is covered in snow, some of which is now turning into a nice grey sorbet.

These were lost, and recently found. So, some Balinese beach scenes for the cold.

Third Impressions of Deutschland

As much as I've been enjoying taking photos of my new home with an iPhone, I probably won't be posting any more of those photos here unless I choose to jabber a bit about the iPhone camera as a device, as itself.

These photos were taken while wandering back and forth across Berlin, with a lot of time looking at art, architecture, and the sky. All of which are here, and all of which I like about here.
