The art of patience

Photography is about time and light. We often don’t have the time and the light is rarely right when we do. That’s where patience comes in. Making time yields benefits for photography, slowing down, observing and being more considered. This is especially true with digital cameras which encourage us to shoot more not shoot better. This is what happened when I knew there was an image but didn’t know what. It took patience and a year and a half to find it.

Same planet, another world -Gaza

The world is an angry place. Conflicts spill over into destinations affecting the travel industry but, more importantly, decimating people’s lives. Nowhere more so than in Gaza and Israel. Whilst western media report on what’s happening there, they do so whilst excluded from Gaza. Civilians are caught in the middle of the conflict. Feeling abandoned by the world, one Gazan describes life in a place without hope.

Carnivals & Festivals – Böögg and Fritschi

Sechseläuten festival, Zürich, Switzerland. Böögg the snowman is burnt on a huge bonfire on the main square, at six o'clock sharp, and his head blown off with fireworks. The precise length of time taken to reach that point determines how good or bad a summer the city is in for. On 17 April 2023 it took over 50 minutes. © Rudolf Abraham
