On Rice and Aloha

Carl, I had a small compact camera with my, inconspicously hanging from my chest – didn’t dare to bring out the DSLM. But the hurrying in the dimmed light all too often created motion blur. Walker Evans of course was more audacious…

Perfect source material.

Self-captioning pictures are always fun.

You’re doing awfully well for concealed activity! Shooting from the hip? From the chest with the camera hidden by a jacket? I think there are ethical issues to doing this with people pictures (Paul Strand not withstanding) but for pictures of interesting “stuff” it seems fine.

Ja, Uwe, das Bild hat scheint sich völlig vom Gegenstand gelöst zu haben. Soetwas gelingt (mir) nur selten.

Wirkt auf den ersten Blick wie abstrakte Malerei. Sehr schön, wie das Licht die bildfüllende und rahmensprengende "Figur" hinterfängt.


On Dried Fish II

Uwe, der ganze Markt – ganz besonders der Trockenfisch-Bereich hatte mit Hitze, Lärm, Schmutz und Gestank durchaus Spuren apokalyptischer Elemente, zumindest für einen sensiblen Europäer…

Makaber und ästhetisch reizvoll zugleich.

Thanks, Sherri. “So much to explore” could be a headline for this whole stay in Sambia. Alas, photography is not everywhere well receive, many people here think that every photographer makes big money out of his pictures.

P.S. das ist die Sitzfläche eines Bürostuhls im Rathaus

Jürgen, Uwe: Vielen Dank! Arbeit und Hitze sorgen dafür, dass ich weit weniger fotografieren kann als geplant.
Uwe said at 2025-04-02 18:44:05:
Sehr eindrucksvoll. Man mag gar nicht wissen wollen, was hier reißt und fetzt. Der optische Appeal ist großartig, gerade in Schwarz-weiß und in Großaufnahme.

Sehr cool! Ein Bild zum schauen, und wiederschauen, und wiederschauen… und immer wieder kann ich was Neues entdecken. Mag ich, so was.

Thanks Earl. Yes, this is a wonderful place, but too crowded during summer. That OSM link is indeed not working anymore, I guess they changed the format of the URLs. I’ll look into this.

Earl said at 2025-03-27 21:21:01:
It certainly is a 10 of 10 on beauty, Markus! Wonderful! Note: Your "OpenStreetMap (OSM)" Geo link doesn't appear to be working now. Of course, there's always the chance that the problem is at my end.

Wabi-sabi. Imperfections are so often more interesting. 😉

Thanks, Joe. Night offers many occasions for that, but all too often I do not muster up the energy to go out again with the camera
