  1. Yesterday we talked to an old friend who just came back from a longer trip to China and Taiwan. A family-visit actually.

    That triggered my inner slide projector. But those days when I was there +35 years ago are long gone. The city and the county as a whole looks and works a lot different.

    I never scanned all my slides, but some I found now in the depth of my archives. All of these show working people in or near a park in Beijing. Therefore I called that little series (there are some more) "Work in China" published under "The human Condition" - like we editors handle things.

    I was on my own, just with my cameras Contax RTS I+II, Zeiss-glass and my journalistic eye - and speaking almost no chinese. No problem. It was great. There is not one stolen shot, BTW.

    I have extremely positive memories especially concerning genuine, friendly people I met in person. That was amazing. And the fantastic food anyway. Sidenote: That has been my personal experience all over the world.

    (I wish I could say that for some encounters in the digital web-world nowadays as well.)

  2. Arrêt au stand, devant le château de Fougères...temps couvert, pas de touriste, parfait pour faire des images, avec le Contax RTS, un 50mm Carl Zeiss Planar, et un Tamron SP 90mm.

  3. J'en rêvais depuis les années 80, mais je n'avais pas les sous...les choses ont changé...J'en ai trouvé un en excellent état...j'ai juste refait l'habillage à mon -mauvais- goùt (et les mousses d'etanchéité, ce soir)

  4. Three lions

    My shot for #Fotomontag / #photomonday has been taken in Beijing, China. In the long gone ancient city - the Dashalan - near Tian'anmen square. Pretty exactly 30 years ago IIRC.

    It was my favourite place. Conversation with people was not easy, but a smile helps a lot. Everybody was super friendly, helpful and interested, what the longnoses were doing there. The food was great too.

  5. Late but not too late I come up with a photo for #fensterfreitag / #windowfriday.

    This was the first larger city festival in my little town ~35 years ago. I took this shot for my newspaper. Nobody else had the idea to go up to the attic of the town hall. So this was a scoop that still makes me smile. 🙂
