Nice in December
By Hans-Josef Jeanrond on Saturday 12 February 2011, 19:45
Taking the children to the ariport in
Nice after their Christmas visit, there was not much time for photography. Just
enough to catch this view of the beach along the Promenade des Anglais, showing
that it is not empty even at this time of the year, and a few more mirror
images to enrich the series "Reflets - Réflexions".

Summer - white heat, and notes on excursions to be repeated
By Hans-Josef Jeanrond on Friday 16 July 2010, 18:30
If you wonder why there are hardly ever any "summer pictures" on this blog,
take a look at the photograph and imagine the heat that goes with the haze in
the hills.
Of course, I could have reported on a trip to the newly opened
Centre Pompidou in Metz at the end of May, but it was cold and
raining then (!), and the light was not right for the pictures I wanted to
take. I will be back there soon, I hope.

UKV-Gebäude Saarbrücken (Click on the image to enlarge)
Going back to my native Saarland, my uncle and aunt took me to this "moated castle" in Saarbrücken, knowing about my interest in architecture and reflections.

Intérieur - Extérieur / Place de Vosges, Paris

Travelling to Paris on 30 August provided the chance to catch the last day
of the Cartier-Bresson exhibition at the Maison Européenne de la Photographie.
(It is still under "current exhibitions", but it will no doubt be moved from
there soon: www.mep-fr.org)
Putting on Ferdinando Scianna ("La Géométrie et la Passion") at the same
time, did not do him much good: Even though there were some masterpieces in his
show, too (less than a handful), he clearly does not reach the level of
Cartier-Bresson. Cartier-Bresson's "géometrie" is more elegant and seems
completely effortless.
Coming out of the MEP (with queues even longer than when I went in - Cartier-Bresson still draws large crowds!), I strolled around Place des Vosges. Looking at the Galleries and shops, I was able to take another shot at my favourite theme of the moment: Reflections and "inside-out / outside-in". The bright sunshine projected the Place des Vosges into the Galleries and show cases, where it blended with the exhibited works.

La Rentrée
By Hans-Josef Jeanrond on Sunday 30 August 2009, 22:30
Le week-end du 29 - 30 août est celui de la rentrée : l'école reprend la
semaine prochaine.
Ce matin à la gare de Toulon, des familles, des groupes d'enfants de
différentes colonies de vacances, des jeunes couples (formés pendant l'été ?
les couples d'un été ?) étaient sur le quai de la gare pour "remonter" à
Paris.

Paris: Beaubourg - Centre Pompidou

Outside-in / inside-out
Aussen und innen
Extérieur - intérieur
As promised in the last posting, I come back to the topics of "inside-out /
outside-in” and "museum and the city". These topics will probably keep my
imagination busy for a while, and I will have to revisit places again and
again, in order to refine my images and come closer to what I would like them
to be.
Comments and proposals for improvements are very welcome.
