Today I hade a little rendezvous with Eddie. You wonder who Eddie is? Well, Eddie is a little pig. 🙂 And today I met him for a photoshoot in the park. But before these pictures go online here a few snapshots of this beautiful autumn day, which was probably the last for this year. Enjoy the colors!

Seasonal 2: Collecting more Mushrooms

15 Oct

Another autumn is here, which means also it’s mushroom season again! This year we did not find as many celps but therefore I could expand my collection of inedible and partly poisonous specimens (which is btw. a very good way to learn and study them). Alas, now I just have to figure how to preserve their color and shape. For once I succeeded at drying the fly agaric caps but due to the cold and rainy weather the others unfortunately went moldy. Dryer and warmer air would be needed. Well, next year I will have another try. In the meantime test your knowledge in mycology – can you name all specimens on the photos below?

An alternative card, different from my standard photography business card

This card focusses more on my drawings and illustrations. I will use this card to promote my traditional work and give it to people interested in or in need of something hand-drawn, traditional portraits or unique illustrations for any purpose.  Fitting to the theme the card is printed on paper Vergé.

When working with herbs I also document some aspects and details. With some herbs I focus on the dried fruits and seeds and photograph them as random still lifes, experimenting with light and shadow. I do that as time permits, working on a little series there. Today Henbane in.

A quick note on the newly opened Waldschlösschen Bridge, which sparked so much controversy and eventually had Dresden’s Elbe Valley removed from UNESCO’s list of World Heritage Sites: it turns out the bridge is neither spectacular nor especially disturbing. It really is a rather inconspicious construction and certainly not what one would expect considering the great controversy and amount of money that went into it. It does not take away much of the panorama towards town nor does it disturb the view towards Blaues Wunder. However this town has seen better architectural achievements.
