Donkey on the pier, Mykonos, 1985

Wed, 22 May 2013 05:00 +0000

Looking back at the slides I recovered the other week, I cannot help but feel ambivalent: there is the soft, sweet feeling of lost youth: the pretty girls we met, the hot days on the beach and the long, dark nights. However, the feeling that is now the most prevalent, is the feeling of missed photo opportunities: What possessed me to waste so much film on all those ancient ruins while there were so many interesting characters and scenes about that would now have been a treasure? Instead I came away with a collection of lousy touristy postcards shots….

Getting to the best spots on the beach quickly

Tue, 21 May 2013 05:00 +0000

From what I see on Google maps, the camping is gone and replaced by a resort. In 1985 the camping was cheap and large on an isolated beach, filled with teenagers and youngster who didn't have the money to stay in a hotel. The camping wasn't accessible by road but was served by a bus and a boat ride from Mykonos town. In the morning the people staying in Mykonos town would arrive early to claim the best spots while we, the people on the camping, were still recovering from the night before.

Marina and curving beach in Rhodes, 1986

I like the way the beach line slopes. The boat I was sailing on is anchored in the distance in the top right quadrant of the shot.

The Mykonos windmills, 1985 #2

Wed, 15 May 2013 05:00 +0000

In 1985 I took a trip to the Cyclades in Greece and spent a few weeks on Mykonos and Tinos before taking the ferry back to Athens to stay a few more days in Marathon. I just recovered the slides I took during that trip. Under the caption of 'youthful sins.' No doubt the place still looks identical.

The Church of Panagia Paraportiani (Greek: Εκκλησία της Παναγίας Παραπορτιανι), probably the most photographed object on Mykonos. The building of this church started in 1425 and was not completed until the 17th century.

When you drive up to Soleuvre, a steep, "pimple" like hill dominates the village. This is the Zolwerknapp, home of an important castle once.

Inside the Basilica of Constantine, Trier

Tue, 23 Apr 2013 05:00 +0000

The Aula Palatina, at Trier, Germany is a Roman palace basilica that was built by the emperor Constantine (AD 306–337) at the beginning of the 4th century. Nowadays it is a Protestant Church, which I find slightly amusing if you take into account that the Roman Empire went over into the Catholic Church.

Driving toward Esch-sur-Sûre over the 316 road which was closed for traffic because of the snow, we came across this amazing view. After descending into Esch-sur-Sûre, we would go up again and continue to 316 road which became much steeper and with lots more snow and the whole expedition became sort of an adventure, trying to keep the car on the road.

Sprinkange Lavoir

It is called a "lavoir" on Google Maps. a public place to wash clothes, but it looks more like a place to water the livestock to me.

McAuliffe and the 101st Airborne Division along with elements of the 10th Armored Division (United States) and the 82nd airborne arrived to counter-attack the Ardennenoffensive but, after heavy fighting, became encircled within the town. On December 22, German emissaries asked for the American surrender, to which the General answered quite briefly, "Nuts!"

For some reason,the buildings along this road in Belvaux always remind me of San Francisco. View of the Steel Work furnaces and construction site that is Belval.

No matter where you go in Wallonie, you have a feeling it has seen better days. This run-down feeling does appeal to me, it already starts with the roads that turn into a collection of potholes the moment you pass the border and enter Belgium.

I shot this just because of the atmosphere of the house, it felt a bit run down and the TRI-X did bring that out beautifully.
