RSP – Reinhold Staden Photography -Journey Through Time

… travel through time, this would be my destination. I think I have to live here and now… but I always have the choice to switch off the radio and television, close the MacBook and browser, leave the iPhone at my desk, take my camera and gear and walk out the door into the landscape. Happy shooting and weekend! Reinhold

It’s not over until it’s over

Amsterdam. Remember? A few days ago I asked for advice of photo locations offsite the usual tourist attractions? I also studied the internet and made a plan of locations to visit (obviously the top 10 tourist attractions). I had 1.5 “daytime slots” only. To summarize my results in a few words: wrong expectations, wrong planning, wrong attitude (one that day), mixed weather, overwhelmed by the amount of cars, people, bridges, house boats, bicycles…I wasn’t prepared for street photography either (-> Noortje’s advice) The location and my state of mind wouldn’t come together on day 1. The next day was just a sequel of the first day. Amsterdam is such a beautiful location. I know there are these hidden gems I was looking for. Somewhere. It’s not over until it’s over. I have to come back. Different time of the year and definitely at night time. Different / other expectations and attitude. I will leave you now with a few impression of Amsterdam and Haarlem (last 2 photos). Did you ever had a similar experience? I felt like being part of a movie. It wasn’t real. Smiles. Reinhold

Time is passing by…

Do you remember

… the sound of the sewing machine?
… reading the book on the table?
… hearing the music of the old radio?
… the laughter and talks drinking out of these shot glasses?
… the sound of the kettle and smell of Sunday roast?

Time is passing by. So quickly. Enjoy your weekend!

Smiles. Reinhold

A few years and camera models ago (my first business trip to Berlin) I captured some fragments of the architecture. Working with these files, I decided today to go there soon to follow up on that subject.
