Van Gogh at the beach

Yep, feel the thickness of the pain/paint!

Nice observation and connection.

Van Gogh at the beach

Good one!

[John R]

Good one!

Now that's a good seeing and a fine image.

I see Van Gogh's and Monet's and others, almost every day when I visit the home. I feel like stealing them and putting them in my home! They are so inspiring.

Textile impasto. 

Might've mentioned this before, but each time I visit the van Goghs at my local museum I make sure to look at the heavily textured ones from the side. You can see the peaks & dips in the paint.

Clearly after a long day of hard work.
Nice set.

I instantly see the hitch! About the only way - commission aside - that could make sense is by doing it in a spare time way: a bit at a time when nothing paying is around.

It would be a great gig for some cat living in that city...

Sometimes maybe we miss the gritty black and white not just of the film or the print but the reality of the 50s and while we could revisit the places they would be in colour and sanitized.

That's not the Pittsburgh that would make the drama...well, maybe if you move beyond the PR images you still find grit.

Could be that most of those one-time steel and construction industrial hubs are much the same today, morphed into something quite other. On the sad side, some areas never get to rebuild into something else, and just languish in terminal decline. Could be that it's a case of critical mass: if rich enough, there's momentum in the money, and renewal almost assured, just like with people.

Lyme disease? 

Sorry Slobodan just saw this,

Oh yes, it most definitely is here...must guard for that always. Used to be in summer, not a problem. Now it is and sometimes into winter.

A near spittin' image of my former boss Janet's *newfie, Bear.

*Newfoundland breed, that is.

I'm finding now with various "50 years ago" stuff (celebrating, commemorating) that we've hit a point where the past doesn't look (or sound) as old as it used to.    When I was a teenager the 1920s, then 50 years ago, was an utterly foreign world of fuzzy b&w images and crackly lo-fi sounds. But anything well photographed or recorded from the '60s looks and sounds quite modern.

Attached pic of my dad's lifelong friend Steve + two of his kids + me taken around this time 55 years ago, and about 20 feet from where the two guitars in my previous pic (taken last weekend) were placed. Is that a transistor radio on the table or a smartphone in a retro case?

We have an "awesome" summer here in Berlin this year. Almost no rain since April, temperatures well over 30 degrees celsius regularly, which is not common here. At first welcomed with the usual people lying on the meadow enjoying the sun in the park, in the meantime it's rather taking shelter from the sun and theres not much meadow left ... but makes an unusual photo.

Well done, Keith.

Well done, Keith.

Lovely. Love your environmental portraits.

Thanks guys.

If I crop I'll usually crop to the same format as the original capture but in this case I simply couldn't get it to work: hence 4:3. It was a tricky exposure but I think I got there, eventually.
