Winter colours and old doors
A friend suggested an abandoned railway line months ago, and this week I finally went. Halfway through I switched to black and white, which suited the quiet weather much better.

What window light taught me
Some places are better in the off-season, and the canal district is one of them. Walking back, I found a side street I had never noticed before, lined with tiny workshops.

Learning to see night trains
The forecast promised rain, so naturally I headed to a quiet monastery. I sat on a bench for almost an hour, just watching birds over water change as the clouds moved.

A morning at the old harbour
The forecast promised rain, so naturally I headed to the old harbour. The café near the old harbour still serves the same cinnamon buns; I had two and pretended it was research.

Slow afternoon at the city's oldest market
I went to the city's oldest market with an old film camera and no particular plan. Working with an old film camera forces you to slow down. You think twice before pressing the shutter, and that changes the pictures.

Learning to see morning markets
Some places are better in the off-season, and a lighthouse at the end of the spit is one of them. I sat on a bench for almost an hour, just watching early light change as the clouds moved.

Reflections at a small island ferry
I went to a small island ferry with a 28mm lens and no particular plan. The café near a small island ferry still serves the same cinnamon buns; I had two and pretended it was research.

A morning at the city's oldest market
It has been a while since my last trip to the city's oldest market. Most of the morning went into watching birds over water; I took fewer frames than usual, but each one felt deliberate.
