As mentioned in my previous post I try do more regular blog posting, but I didn’t really take many photographs last two weeks. It was often dark, cloudy and very moody. For me it was all enhanced by the political things occurring in the US. I have my concerns, expressing these mostly on twitter. I don’t necessary try to turn my blog in a political platform, but rather focus on my passion. Some things do. Be aware of the things that already happened and what might be happening in the future. Whether you voted for him or not, please be conscious of the choices you make and do your own researches. You might find the press dishonest, but remember that the government might not be honest too. We’re all stuck in a bubble on both sides of the aisle. Get out of it, talk with one and other and remain curious.

I know , It has been difficult to do anything but wonder what is going on in the world. You got a wonderful series going again though.
Of course I know that times are changing, but I find it actually quite hard to realize that I may have to adapt despite my believes. I think many are in this situation. Fact remains that it will change and things will never be the same.
Great shots, love the moodiness of the black and white, hard to pick a favourite but I’d probably for the…third one. Or…the second to last.
More than anything I thought B&W suited best for this moment and my mood. Thank you Harry.
Beautiful photos! Very dark feeling 🙂
Always enjoy your beautiful shots Wouter and thank you for your words of support. We’re all in this together.
We sure are. You currently a bit more, so you’ve got my support, but in March we have elections here. And later this year there will be elections in France and Germany, so the situations remains highly uncertain.
The mood in these images very much match the mood of many of us here in the U.S.
These days it must be difficult in the US. I’m not sure, but does the US feel divided in two camps Jamie?
these pictures would be a lot more interesting if we knew what camera they were taken with, focal length of lens etc.,
I presume with ‘we’ you mean yourself John? I don’t want my blog posts to be gear centric. I always like to understand why these things would be interesting to know. Maybe you can explain that? Additionally I ask what you think the focal length was? And maybe, by reading my blog you can figure out what camera I use predominately.
