  • Amsterdam – Party Central

    Amsterdam – Party Central

    This is my final post in my Amsterdam series, a fact which makes me very sad 😦 I will have to go back!!!!  🙂 Before I arrived, Lucile warned me that the city turns orange and goes into party mode for King’s Day and what a fantastic coincidence that my work trip to the UK…

  • Amsterdam – A Different View

    Amsterdam – A Different View

    You know me – I love black and white photography. I found Amsterdam skies to be so amazing and King’s Day was so orange (you’ll see exactly how orange in my final Amsterdam post next week!!), that I was very selective about what I showed in black and white. When I was going through the…

  • Hang Out

    Why doesn’t anyone notice me? I’ve been hanging around here for six years! Nobody even sees me. I am invisible? Does anyone even care? Just wait… Soon… My time will come. I will show them. Soon. They’ll regret just passing me by. Soon. I can feel my time is coming. Soon. Soon…. OR She considered…

  • Image Reboot #2

    Welcome to the second instalment of our Image Reboot – in partnership with Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic. You can find the first one here.

    Looking at the sign While the spelling is not right The sentiment is… A cute little sign on a door in a cafe in Amsterdam. It was so sweet. So was the carrot cake – yum! …..

  • Amsterdam City in Living Colour

    Amsterdam City in Living Colour

    I hope you aren’t getting too sick of my Amsterdam posts 😉 Today is the city in glorious colour. As I have said, I was there for 50 hours. This was over three separate days and these photos span all three days. The first day was overcast, day 2 was glorious and day 3 was…

  • Beauty in the Mundane

    Beauty in the Mundane

    I was filling my car with fuel the other day, when I looked up and was struck by the shape of the carpark structure of the shopping centre next door. As a regular at Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic, I of course had my camera with me. I took these shots with my Olympus OMD EM5…

  • Amsterdam People (B&W)

    Amsterdam People (B&W)

    I think I’ve already mentioned that I took a lot of photos during my 50 hours with the lovely Lucile in Amsterdam, so I wanted to share the photos gradually with you. Today, I’m sharing my black and white images of the people of Amsterdam. Some of these were taken during a walk through the…

    Flowers of Amsterdam

    Here’s my second post on my whirlwind trip to Amsterdam. You can see my first post here. Today, I want to show you the flowers. We found these in big planters outside the Eye Film Institute. Some of them seem like they’re made of tissue paper. Also, there’s a special little surprise in the mix…  …

  • Separation Binds

    Separation Binds

      The panels of glass in this very large window are separated by thick metal strips. The thick metal strips bind the glass panels together to form a very large window. This could be a post about construction.  It could be about architecture. It could be about seeing the world as glass half full or…
