Kees' photos

... in grainy B&W.

There’s a strange discrepancy between the promise to create a “NEW YOU” and the building where that process has to take place... In my youth, the house harboured an electronics shop; for many years, the shop windows displayed a dusty roof antenna and not much else. Now the view on the clients’ regeneration is thankfully blocked by curtains.

My mother-in-law lives in a house on the bank of the Zaan, in the province of North-Holland. I was shooting random pictures of the ships passing by, as suddenly someone, high up in the sky, dropped this duck and made it to the eye-catcher of the photo. No, don’t tell me that bird can actually fly: I won’t believe you.

Robbie’s eyes can’t compete with his nose, but that doesn’t diminish his attentiveness.

Robbie is lying on the bed: he’s not allowed to do so, and feels guilty about it.

This is Cora, about two years ago. Long before I went digital (and she went braces). She does the smiling for me... ;-) (shot with a Nikon F50, available light, EXIF not available)

The return of Bavaria’s Most Wanted. This time I accepted the assistance of the old mirror in my room (which is only one reason for the lack of sharpness).

All banks of Icking (which are two) are concentrated on one spot.

No need for jogging to keep in shape: just walk your dog regularly.

The mountains aren’t always visible, and rarely so close as they were that evening. View from our balcony.

“Der Klostermaier”, Ickings älteste Wirtschaft, hat im vorigen Jahr zugemacht. Genießen Sie den Anblick, solange das Gebäude noch steht... Der niedrige Teil rechts war “schon immer” da, aber auch der rezentere Teil, in der Mitte und links (der “Bürgersaal”), wurde schon vor einem Jahrhundert angebaut. “Der Klostermaier”, Icking’s oldest inn, has closed down last year. Enjoy the sight as long as the building still exists... The lower part on the right has “always” been there, but even the more recent left and middle parts must have been attached at least a century ago.

The roof makes a nice pattern, but I wouldn’t look here for shelter.
