Sascha Welter knows about my passion for jazz and photography and he was kind enough to share this image with me.
I don’t know the story behind it but that’s fine. It already “speaks” mounds. Enjoy.

Trees and Kids
This shot was taken earlier this month with a Hasselblad 501 C/M Medium Format film camera, somewhere in France. No post-processing has been performed at all. The Kodak 400TX negative was scanned by a professional (though sometimes sloppy) lab in downtown Paris.
While the composition is not particularly outstanding, I like the fact that the motion of the kids which very presence adds a sense of scale to the whole picture.

Late Afternoon Walk, Ymittos
The picture above was taken by long-time friend and photography “teacher” Sascha Welter.
I like the washed out look of this exposure and the composition is quite original as we can see a little bit of civilization (or rampant craziness, YMMV) at the bottom right corner and the difference is quite striking with the empty, relaxing sun and those leaning plants (windy?) in the foreground.
I’d relax there indefinitely listening to Freddie Hubbard on trumpet while the city is abuzz with haste.
I am a bit (but not overly) disturbed by the vignetting on the top corners which creates some undesirable tension and breaks a bit (but not overly) the relaxing scene.
All in all, it’s the kind of photography that appeals to my eyes and to my soul. One day, hopefully, I’d score pictures like that. Pictures that speak to the soul and carry their viewers somewhere else, without moving.
