I wish I could reply with photos. I notice in your recent photos a closer approach to topography and abstraction, whereas in this set I saw a focus on human presence and interaction with the context, also a shorter focal length maybe? The last photo is almost a replica of one of mine taken in Barcelona, I think. I'll message you the image, since I cannot link it here.
That’s true. I was a big fan of American photographers like Joel Meyerowitz. I don’t photograph people as much these days. I do still like a 50mm or equivalent field of view though.
These are fun. My favourites are the Bruegel and the bus interiors.
I recently purchased an inexpensive kit to ‘scan’ old slides and negatives using a macro lens I already have. I’m expecting to be disappointed — not just with the images, but with all the dust spots I’ll have to remove. Fortunately, the camera shop where I bought the kit also has a decent scanner.
I used a flatbed and should have spent a bit longer removing more dust before I started. I had lots to do so I opted for relative speed, knowing I could tidy up the scans in Lightroom afterwards. It took two days to scan and post process about 150 images. I’d like to try camera scanning but I don’t really have the space.
Two days sounds pretty good for 150 Images. A flatbed is probably faster than using a camera. I'm expecting that using my camera will make it a slow process. I'll find out. Either way, I'm told dust is your enemy when scanning, however you do it.
wonderful photos of /from Vienna. And if I may, they remind me of the way I photograph. Really really enjoyed this "happenstance".
Thanks Crina. Interested to know what you saw in these pictures that reminded you of your own.

Great shots. And I appreciate the Paul Simon reference, I'm a big fan. Cheers.
