Due to the corona virus the exhibition Blutwurst has come to a premature end.

Due to the corona virus the exhibition Blutwurst has come to a premature end.

Part of the series “Wounded Land”. More info check website link in bio. Rain Rain, midnight rain, nothing but the wild rain On this bleak hut, and solitude, and me Remembering again that I shall die And neither hear the rain nor give it thanks For washing me cleaner than I have been Since I was born into solitude. Blessed are the dead that the rain rains upon: But here I pray that none whom once I loved Is dying tonight or lying still awake Solitary, listening to the rain, Either in pain or thus in sympathy Helpless among the living and the dead, Like a cold water among broken reeds, Myriads of broken reeds all still and stiff, Like me who have no love which this wild rain Has not dissolved except the love of death, If love it be towards what is perfect and Cannot, the tempest tells me, disappoint. Written by Edward Thomas in 1916 He was killed during the Battle of Arras in 1917. #woundedland #ww1 #ww1battlefields #battlefields #verdun #lagrandeguerre #forests #verdunforests #batailledeverdun #1418 #leica #leicamonochrom #monochrom #m246 #summicron35 #theworldinblackandwhite #landscapes #trenches #edwardthomas #poetry #poetryofwar

Part of the series “Wounded Land” More info check website link in bio. Lights out I have come to the borders of sleep, The unfathomable deep Forest where all must lose Their way, however straight, Or winding, soon or late; They cannot choose. Many a road and track That, since the dawn’s first crack, Up to the forest brink, Deceived the travellers, Suddenly now blurs, And in they sink. Here love ends, Despair, ambition ends; All pleasure and all trouble, Although most sweet or bitter, Here ends in sleep that is sweeter Than tasks most noble. There is not any book Or face of dearest look That I would not turn from now To go into the unknown I must enter, and leave, alone, I know not how. The tall forest towers; Its cloudy foliage lowers Ahead, shelf above shelf; Its silence I hear and obey That I may lose my way And myself. Written by Edward Thomas in 1916. He was killed during the Battle of Arras in 1917. #woundedland #ww1 #ww1battlefields #battlefields #verdun #lagrandeguerre #forests #verdunforests #batailledeverdun #1418 #leica #leicamonochrom #monochrom #m246 #summicron35 #theworldinblackandwhite #landscapes #trenches #edwardthomas #poetry #poetryofwar

Wandering around Verdun Part of the series “Wounded Land”. During a trip to the Alsace I visited a World War 1 monument. This left such an impression on me I wanted to know more about this absurd war. When I was looking at different battlefields along the Western Front, I ended up strolling with my camera around the Somme and Verdun area. The stories I read about this first of its kind industrial war and the visible marks it left on the environment, overwhelmed me. But what got to me the most is the eerie silence in the woods. The woods where thousands of people got injured and lost their lives. #woundedland #ww1 #ww1battlefields #battlefields #verdun #lagrandeguerre #forests #verdunforests #batailledeverdun #1418 #leica #leicamonochrom #monochrom #m246 #summicron35 #theworldinblackandwhite #landscapes #trenches

Beer & Ebay don’t go well together...☺️ But I did end up with a new darkroom tent to take on location. Chosen for the ability to use it on my own. Hope to take it out soon! ... #mobiledarkroom #darkroom #wetplatecollodion #eskimo #eskimoquickfish #quickfish2

Koop een foto en help mee de volgende tentoonstelling mogelijk te maken! Mooie lijsten zijn duur en voor de aankomende tentoonstelling eind februari wil ik mijn werk zo optimaal mogelijk presenteren. Daarom bied ik alvast één van mijn foto’s te koop aan zodat ik de gehele presentatie kan bekostigen. Je kunt kiezen uit de volgende mogelijkheden: Met lijst 20x30 € 125,00 30x45 € 175,00 40x60 € 225,00 Zonder lijst 20x30 € 75,00 30x45 € 115,00 40x60 € 150,00 De afdruk wordt voorzien van een nummer en handtekening om authenticiteit te garanderen. De foto wordt door mijzelf afgedrukt op Ilford Gold Fibre Gloss barietpapier. Met lijst houdt in dat de afdruk wordt ingelijst in een Nielsen Quadrum Wengé houten frame. De print (al dan niet met lijst) mag persoonlijk worden opgehaald. Hij kan uiteraard ook opgestuurd worden. Andere formaten en mogelijkheden op aanvraag. De tentoonstelling “Blutwurst” die ik hiermee beoog te bekostigen, opent a.s. donderdag 27 februari om 19 uur in Kulturzentrum Alter Schlachthof te Eupen. Ik laat hier landschappen zien, gefotografeerd met de Leica Monochrom, van het Eerste Wereldoorlog gebied rond de Somme, Frankrijk. Naast mijn foto’s is er werk te zien zijn van Fotografen Collectief F68, waar ik deel van uitmaak, en diverse gastexposanten. De tentoonstelling loopt t/m zondag 30 maart. Bij reguliere crowdfunding-campagnes gaat alles pas door als het streefbedrag is gehaald. Dat is hier niet het geval. Indien je besluit tot aankoop van een werk ben je verzekerd van je foto en van de tentoonstelling. Tenslotte, alle beetjes helpen. Heel erg bedankt voor je hulp!
