A tough couple of weeks for photography

with the Magnum great Rene Burri and the American Ray Metzker both passing away recently, the world has lost a couple of very talented individuals. We had dinner with some friends on Friday evening and I was lucky enough to come home with a couple of loaner books on Metzker's work- his black and white photography was just stunning.
Changing the clocks this morning made me think just how close to Christmas and the end of the year we are. I don't know if that is a good thing or not, but we will know more in another month  :-)

Just tossing a picture from our great visit to Piemont last year up on the blog. I don't believe that it has made an appearance before, but I was prompted to show it here after I had printed it and was very happy with the way it came out.

Collected a roll of colour film today

which had been sitting in the camera for quite a while and was only dropped off on Saturday for developing. I really like the pics from Italy which were on the roll and a couple of the shots from Zürich were ok as well.

I have packed up some black and white film to head to München tomorrow- expecting grey weather and great beer. Anyone going to be about?

Held something very exciting in my hands today...... hopefully more (good) news at the end of the week.

It has been difficult

settling back into the idea of getting up early and going to work each day after such an enjoyable holiday break.....

Although it wasn't hot in Italy, we are certainly moving on towards winter here and there is snow expected tomorrow down to 1000m, which means rain and cool weather around these here parts.

Enough to make one look forward to the weekend!
