I can't draw, paint or write so photography is a natural choice. I consider myself a storyteller. When I first started in photography I only wanted to do landscapes and cityscapes and found it to be somewhat irritating when people were in the way. But now I find myself drawn to street photography in a black and white format. I try and pull the viewer into the image and make you feel apart of the scene. So if you enjoy this type of image then pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee and we will tell a few tales through photography. We don't need the entire story, the beginning will do, and you can guess the end. Click
"You wish you could stop that moment for ever, but you can't, it is bound to end. So you take a photo, as if to challenge time. Fractions of time snatched from eternity".
Quote by Robert Doisneau
“…. I remain thankful to be a photographer. In the midst of the torrent of technology we swim in daily, the unchanging mission for all shooters is to make pictures that arrest the eye of the viewer and describe our chosen subjects eloquently. We are part of an honored tradition, that of storytelling, which goes back to the dawn of time. Those prehistoric people, painting on their cave walls—were they doing anything different than we are now, with all our pixels and technical wizardry? I think not. They were leaving their footprints, and telling the story of their times, and their lives. With those ancient pigments on those rough walls, they were saying one simple thing: Remember us.” - Joe McNally
It's your story...let it be told !
You Might Be a Photographer if;
You have nightmares of people using the “P mode” we won’t even talk about the “green mode.” That’s just too scary.
If you meet me, and forget me, you’ve lost nothing, if you meet God, and forget Him, you’ve lost everything!”

>Many thanks for all your comments,Ken ¡
Have a nice sunday
Ken,
These two photographs were taken during mid day. The crossing was taken just before a storm blew in. It is actual the full moon rising behind the storm. This was my first attempt at long exposure with a digital camera. I have made many long exposures using film and knew the reciprocity factor I needed to apply to my exposure calculation for film. Example: A 2 minute meter reading with Tmax film required a 5 minute exposure to record the image properly. I mistakenly overexposed the image of The Crossing thinking I would need to adjust for reciprocity failure. I actually had a meter calculation of around 2 1/2 minutes but gave to exposure 5 minutes. The image was overexposed and I later had to deal with that in PS. The important thing to remember with long exposures, is that my mistake was only equivalent to one f-stp of light over exposed. The RAW image looked bad but it was still in the ballpark. The best way to make successful long exposures is to have consistent work habits. I always use a tripod, lock up the mirror, use a cable release, turn off image stabilizer, ect. I meter in manual mode and set my f-stop to the smallest aperture. Always use the lowest ISO setting on your camera when you can (mine is ISO 50). Once I meter the scene with my camera and then calculate down the -10 to -13 stops of to determine the correct exposure. Then I set the camera to Bulb mode for long exposure. I use a cheat sheet with a few different exposure time calculations on it and carry it with me. I hope this helps. John
Thanks Ken, for your comments - yeah the one is sharp and colorful, the other is warm and fuzzy. john

Hi Ken, thanks for your very kind comments considering
my gallery proposal.... Doesn't matter for me if it fails here at

its ok. I have a couple of ideas and projects in my photografic
pipeline so that now I have to take care not to over stress things....
Best regards Berthold
Many thanks,Ken ¡
