Challenges

Actually, I do not love fire very much, so I almost skipped this challenge. But then my eye fell on this extinguisher with its fire-rooster. The old extinguisher is part of a lamp my loved one made a while ago (see PiP).

Saturday Self Challenge PiP1: I had already done another version, but when I was about to upload it, I saw that Katja had come first with a repetitive popart-style picture. PiP2: The "boring" original picture

I found this piece of flotsam on a beach in Brittany/France in 1992. It was a memorable vacation with my loved one. We were very happy to find out that she was pregnant. And this sign "EMBLEME" that I took home has become a most precious souvenir. PiP1: The beach PiP2: Somewhere around here

PiP1: Black/White Version PiP2: Making of

This object is handmade by an artist (Renate Haimerl-Brosch) from a black wire. The funny "seat" has a special place in our living room.

I had to work this saturday, so all I can come up with for the Challenge is this little impression of my workplace (and of Ipernity...)

move upward - forward (the right direction)!

Diese Challenge schien ganz leicht, weil meine Liebste Handdruckerin ist und in ihrer Werkstatt tausende von Holzklischees bereithält. Es war dann doch schwieriger als gedacht, weil an einem Samstag vor Weihnachten natürlich viele Kunden in die Galerie kommen und einem Fotoamateur im Weg stehen, der verzweifelt versucht, in einer ruhigen Ecke im Hinterraum etwas aufzubauen. (Ein Alternativbild und Making-of Fotos findet ihr in den PiP-Notizen). This challenge seemed easy, because my loved one is a handprinter and in her studio she has thousands of old wooden printing blocks. But then it turned out to be quite a hard job after all, cause on a christmas season saturday there are lots of customers getting in the way of an amateur photographer trying to find a set up in the backstage room of the printing studio. (alternative picture and making of in the PiP section).

I tried very hard but the results were mostly not to my satisfaction. There are two other trials in the PiP section, but after all I think the Christmas Market scene is the best (of the poor).
