In honour of my 3rd blog anniversary this week, I´ve created a new Photo Challenge and hope that you will all join me!
And here are the rules of the “7 Days B/W Photo Challenge – Street Photography”:
- Thank the person who´s nominated/tagged you and provide a link to their blog.
- Go out and take pictures of complete strangers for 7 days in a row and post one of them each day of the challenge (you can also post 7 photos in one post if you´re more comfortable with this).
- The photos should be in b/w.
- Nominate as many people as you like
This photo is my 4th entry:
Love this!!

Whenever I think of Van Gogh, I remember Sister Wendy, the way she pronounced his name, and her passion for art and history. I definitely learned a lot about art from her. My students loved learning about Van Gogh.

Kids do have an intuitive love for Van Gogh, I observe this everytime.

Somehow, b&w captures the concentration and focus of the older person so much better.

Thanks a lot, Su! Do you also wonder what he was reading?! 😉 I was just so glad it wasn´t a phone he was looking at – the more street photography I do, the more I notice that most people seem to have abondend books and the like, a shame really. xxxxxxx 🙂

I’ve noticed exactly the same thing. It’s really pronounced on public transport. I hardly ever see anyone with an actual book any more 😦 xxxxx

Thank you, Darren! To be honest, I´m actually scared of doing this too, but as soon as I´m doing it, it makes a lot of fun! A bit like stagefright. 🙂

Interesting shot. He looks like he doesn’t want to be disturb while he reads his paper. B&W makes everything look different.

He was very intent on his paper and I have to admit I was so happy that it wasn´t a phone which nowadays is more likely. B&W does give pictures a different feel, doesn´t it?
Have a beautiful day, Marlene!

I haven’t read a newspaper in almost 20 years. My last husband was allergic to the chemicals in them. You do miss the feel of them. Hate cutting down trees for them now that I understand.

I mostly get my news via internet or radio nowadays but on occasion I buy a newspaper like when you’re travelling. It’s indeed a nice feeling but I guess print media will sooner or later vanish all together.

Sarah, this is charming. Reminds of the Van Gogh painting of the cafe. I know his painting was at night, but there’s a similarity of point of view. Love that you captured this old gentleman wrapped in his scarf, reading his magazine.

Thanks so much, Shari! And wow! Do you know how much I love this particular Van Gogh painting you´ve mentioned? I used to have a print of it above my bed when I was a teenager. 🙂 So, so glad this photo reminded you of it!
