Single Coated

Devoted to my photography and my always constant interest for retro cameras/lenses/techniques


For boat lovers

Such as Lynn, to which this entry is specially addressed :)

This specific one btw, after having spent the whole winter in the same place, was no longer there the weekend after this shot. A nice reminder not to pass on anything that gets our attention, and in a more general way, that nothing is for granted.

There


I think we'll never know what happened through the mind of the first person who looked there, to the nowhere, and then decided to go and find out. But if one spends some time looking, and as impossible as it is, tries to put himself in the shoes of that person, will soon realize that it had to be one of the most difficult decisions ever taken.

Closer


It was a revelation, suddenly being able to get closer. Even more revealing was to realize that I badly wanted to do so.

Fue una revelación el poder de repente acercarme tanto. Y aún lo fue más el darme cuenta de que había estado rogando por poder hacerlo.

The beach that wasn't there


Trust me, there were two realities going on at the same time in that beach. So close and so vastly different, yet back to back and apparently ignoring each other that I just couldn't believe it.


Honestamente, había dos realidades existiendo al mismo tiempo en aquella playa. Tan cercanas y tan radicalmente distintas, espalda contra espalda y en apariencia ignorándose mútuamente, si no hubiera estado allí, jamás lo hubiera creído.

Después de la lluvia


Además de ser el título de una obra de teatro cuya versión para la caja tonta me dejó literalmente con el trasero pegado al sofá de principio a fin, resulta ser a veces un lapso de tiempo, relativamente breve, en el que las cosas que nos rodean no están ni aquí ni allí, sino todo lo contrario, en el que todo parece distinto y en cierto modo lo es.

Claro, igual digo estas cosas porque ya ni recuerdo las semanas que han pasado desde que cayeron las últimas cuatro gotas!

Apart from the title of a theatre show whose TV version amazed me, it [that piece of time after a sudden rain] seems to be a moment during which everything around us is strangely there and not there at the same time, and where everything looks different and in some way it actually is.

Of course, maybe I'm just saying that because I don't remember how much it has been since the last rain ! [Actually, at the moment of this English version text, the last rain has just been a couple hours ago ;P]
