Today we have a quick follow-up about that potato from last Friday’s post. Unfortunately, I don’t yet have a definitive answer about the small fork and spoon. Continue reading
Following up on that potato

Frosted Fable
On a particularly frosty morning today I was passing by the tiny bridge over the Ammer River and spotted an unexpectedly familiar sight. For standing there in the water and rocks at the edge of the river was our heron “friend” once again! He’d been absent for quite a while, and so it seemed odd that now that the weather has taken a turn for the winter he’s come back to take up his accustomed post once more. Whatever possessed him to come back to from whatever warmer perch he may have found in the last few months to hang out today next to a frosted-over riverbank?

On the track of the Trailblazers
So my photography lecture about The Trailblazers went well yesterday, despite a relatively sparse turnout (11 people, including the organizer, her intern, and Chris.) Ah well. People speculated that perhaps it was scheduled (by the group that hosted the talk) too early in the evening, plus this week was perhaps bad timing with it being too close to Christmas, when people have other holiday commitments. On the upside, the people who came all really enjoyed it and asked good questions. So, I had a very good time. Continue reading
20th Century American Women Photographers
I’m not going to manage to get a regular post up today, as I’ve been busy putting the finishing touches on the lecture I’m giving this evening at the German-American Institute (d.a.i.) here in Tübingen. Tonight’s talk, the first in a series I will be giving at the d.a.i. throughout next year, covers American women who had active careers as professional photographers at the start of the 20th century: Berenice Abbott, Margaret Bourke-White, Imogen Cunningham, Getrude Käsebier. I’ll try to post a little more about it tomorrow. In the meantime, here’s a link to the notice for it from the d.a.i. website — the notice, like the talk, is in English. 😉
See you tomorrow!
The Porch on Neckar Island
Remember that “house” I found on the Neckar island last week? I just realized that I also have other photos of what must be the porch; the photos include one of the steps up to the porch, as well as a look at the porch itself.

Stairway on the river
Today is another example of how I see the world. I spotted this reflection in the Neckar River, and immediately visualized it upside-down. That’s the way I’ve presented it in the photo below. Continue reading
Sunset in Hamburg
The weather in Hamburg only partially cooperated during my recent trip there. On the one hand, it never rained – always a plus for a tourist wandering around. On the other hand, it was never really completely sunny, that momentary sunny patch that day at the harbor aside. Continue reading
