songs about roving, rambling and plain hard luck & photography from the other side …

love must surely be something clearly seen in black & white

And I always thought that love must surely be something clearly seen in black and white / And we can make it how we want it to be or change it if we need to, change it over night / North, south, east and west anywhere I choose is best / And there’s nothing to it I confess only love more or less (Marianne Faithfull)

    Black and white at night with white lamps …

    Well, you’ve chosen best! The picture to illustrate the song or conversely. I like both!

    I like the light from above!

    „yes you are“ A strong message. That ìs love, to acknowledge each other.

    Goodnight!

    I imagine someone wandering through the night and suddenly he’s seeing this message „yes you are“. I imagine this one felt alone and lost that night and suddenly he has to think about these words „yes you are“. A strong message, Florian, which gives us the energy to go on along our road.
    And no one better than Marianne Faithfull to accompany us along this road in a black night. A magical picture, my friend. A magical one.

    I can also consider the three bright words could be magic, surprising and finally funny.

    Frei nach Charles Bukowski:

    Drei Wörter,
    die uns den Mut geben
    weiterzumachen,
    wenn alles sagt:
    gib auf.

    Gruß, Uwe

      Ein Bild für den Moment des Zweifels. Die Schlichtheit des Bildes & die unglaubliche Komplexität der Worte. Aufgeben niemals. Vielen dank, Uwe.

      Viele Grüße & weiterhin sichere Straßen, Fritsch.

      Now go ahead, dear. I’ll be just there to serve your photographic needs in every way.

      All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.

    I am debating as to whether I am or not. Sometimes I think I am, but there are always doubts. So, am I or am I not? There’s nothing to it, I confess. Anything I choose is best…or is it? As for love, now that is something else. It may be more or less, but I refuse to commit to either one. As for your photo and mixture with Marianne Faithfull’s song, both are insightful. And you have both tangled my mind tonight.

    • Fritsch sagt:

      I know those moments of doubt so well, Phil. And sometimes looking at these frames make me feel like I made them all for me. Not only that they are some kind of visual diary but a diary of feelings & the fight with all those ambiguities. Thanks, my friend.

      All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.

  8. Auch eine klare Aussage: Schwarz-Weiß vom Feinsten! Ein wunderbares Bild, lieber Florian.
    Viele Grüße von uns,
    dm und mb

      Meisten empfinde ich die Reduktion geradezu als wahren Reichtum, als klare Aussage. Und das ist gut so, das macht Spaß.

      Viele Grüße & weiterhin sichere Straßen, Fritsch.

    Whatever deserves to be written so glowingly and in stark contrast, white on black, has got to be an expression of love
