Just walking the streets of Antwerp with a camera in hand, is still one of my favourite things to do.
The day starts most of the time a bit tense even a bit shy to take some photos, as the day goes by I get more relaxed and even get into a flow.
Always looking out for somebody interesting to photograph
Chinatown, only about two streets big but always busy
Bike delivery, you see them everyhere
All pictures take in Antwerp. With the mighty Jupiter 11 lens, a 135mm f4.0 Russian vintage lens.
That lens has become one of my favourite vintage lenses I own, Together with the Helios 44M
What fun! I love the open country, the peace and solitude of nature, but I do see that same thing exists when you just become part of the fabric of the backdrop of a large, vibrant city. You can just exist without judgement or reason and become a recorder, a witness. Great captures, Peter. And I love my Helios 81-H 50mm – came from the Ukraine, so I treasure it all the more. And in case I haven’t thanked you enough for the impetus and the drive to get us from PB to FB to here, please accept those thanks now!
The Arsenal in Ukraine maybe is going to be lost. The biggest warehouse for parts of Russian cameras . They still make new ones. It is my pleasure to try to save the community. Hope we can get more members here
Really crisp photos and so sharp!
Thanks, they were lost on pb
