Again and again I am amazed about what comes out of the little analogue camera Minolta Hi Matic G. San Antonio - La Gomera
The last picture on my Kodak Tri-x 400 and quickly developed . Taken this morning, after a stormy night. The farmer with the pink gloves
From time to time you have to keep your country clean. This time in Alojera (La Gomera). With the help of fire and pink gloves. :-)
After a stormy and rainy night on La Gomera
Today we had a wonderful Sunday - after a stormy and rainy night: a clear blue sky, 26 degrees, light wind. My Dad & Karl-Heinz on La Gomera
It was a such wonderful time. The Saints III
Is there anybody out there?
Inspiration: Pink Floyd: Is there anybody out there (long instrumental version by You Tube). Gerd
From time to time needs a house a new coat of paint. Thank you so much for your help Gerd. La carta anónima

It is not easy, as young and new political party to compete against old structures. But we move on. Even though our feet hurt ... ;-)
Take a walk with a Polaroid VII
Rainbow over Valle Gran Rey, La Gomera. José
Dont miss to purchase the print "Marrakech" (handmade by me) at Suzi Livingstones auction (SOLD OUT) and the Polaroid "Gomera Spring" (SOLD OUT). Also dont forget to bid on the book Analogue on Ebay. The ebay auction started on March 15th and ends on March 25th, 2011. There are only 1 day and 7 hrs. left! Take a walk with a Polaroid III

Upper valley of Valle Gran Rey, La Gomera. Take a walk with a Polaroid
Currently I have a lot of work. But today I have taken a walk with my new toy – a Polaroid using a Fuji Instax film. And it was a good feeling to rest for a few minutes on the beach. Stormy Gomera Sunday
Rain and storm here on La Gomera. Finally time to light the fireplace while drinking a good glass of wine and having a look through various picture books. A recommendation: Amazigh : Voyage dans le temps berbère by Carlos Freire and Driss Benzekri.
Cojito
The Canon AE-1 at Wikipedia (en). Such a wonderful camera. Thank you so much, Richard, for your gift. My second living room
La Matanza
Galllery: La Matanza and Campo Santo: Gomera Sunset
Unfortunately I had to work today. 24º and blue sky. But one hour break at sunset time was a must... . Campo Santo - La Gomera
Once a year will be held a procession in honor of Nuestra Sra. de Guadalupe in Guará high up in the mountains of La Gomera.
Campo Santo
Maybe the photographs of Guará -I took two weeks ago- fit for the new series Campo Santo. So I have to be patient. Waiting whats on the other rolls. Workshop La Gomera: Sofía by Adrian Chinea
Last weekend I was invited to give a People Workshop on La Gomera (Spain) with some phantastic results. El Silbo - La Gomera
El Silbo is a whistled language spoken by inhabitants of La Gomera in the Canary Islands to communicate across the deep ravines and narrow valleys that radiate through our island. Read more about the topic on Wikipedia (en) and listen: MP3. The photos were taken for a well known Hotel here on La Gomera, which is just working on the redesign of their home page. But do not worry. I will not mutate into a hotel photographer. :-) Matanza
There are around 50 prints - after the darkroom work - to sift through and select ... not an easy task. Gomera Sunday
Too many people on the beach, too many walking tracks in the sand ... it is better to stay at home drinking a good glass of wine and enjoying the view over the valley. Thank you
Thank you so much for the encouraging letters, e-mails, phone calls and gifts. Silvia, I love your painting - stay healthy! Tim Hart
"The man in the picture is Tim Hart, musician, writer, photographer, and my husband. Since December 2008 we have known that he has Adenocarcinoma (lung cancer), which is inoperable. Unfortunately it was necessary to leave our house and our beloved island, La Gomera, and to find ourselves a small apartment in the English town of Reading.Although we are both feeling very homesick, we are grateful that Tim has found wonderful help in Reading’s Royal Berkshire Hospital. Of course doctors can’t just take away the disease. Self-responsibility is needed to conquer the illness and deal with all the side effects of chemo- and radiotherapy, especially the awful fatigue.We found lots of help from our friends and doctors on La Gomera, who advised Tim to seek treatment in England, and here in England we have been helped by the wonderful Macmillan Nurses, who have given us lots of advice on how to cope with cancer, as well as financial advice. It is also amazing how much patience and cooperation we get from the special cancer nurses and doctors in the hospital, who we have peppered with questions.We were recommended to the English website: ANY QUESTION ON ANY CANCER to get further information, which I can only further recommend. I also can recommend the special cancer forums in every language to share experiences, and where lots of personal help is given by people who have faced living with cancer for years. One thing is quite clear, cancer changes your life, and it is up to us how we start and live every day. Lots of love.

Sometimes you just need luck working as a farmer on La Gomera ... :-))) Time out
Sometimes you have to get out to open your mind. |
