Love Pink Love Flamingos

Who doesn't love flamingos. You see them on clothing as a print of some sorts, you got the pink plastic ones you can put in your garden and so on. But I still prefer the real ones. I saw them in the wild when I was in the Camargue South of France. Unfortunately I didn't had the pleasure to photograph them right there and then. No time and no save place to park the car. But we do have them in our zoo's. And a good thing we have an amazing zoo in Belgium. Where the animals have a good life. Just like these flamingos. You can see the nest and some new born flamingo.  I love the pink feathers against the green grass.

Bringing life back

I know it's been a long time since I wrote a blog. Sometimes live gets to me and when that happens I need to give it priority. It sucks, I really missed writing my blog. I'm not sure I can post on a regular basis but I'll do my best to keep the post coming. I do have lots of photos to show.

 

These photos are from a Jewish cemetery in Putte. Usually not my place to hang. No pun intended but it feels like dead and the atmosphere is sober in a cemetery. Yes, it is a place to grieve the los of a loved one. That doesn't mean the place needs to look dead. What we shouldn't forget is that our souls live on. So just incase they look down on us and see where they are buried, we need to make sure the place looks alive.

That is what I tried to do in these photos. I overexposed almost every photo. That wasn't a mistake. I intentionally made the photo brighter so it looked alive again. I wanted to give the light back to every person that is buried there. One photo is not even sharpe, even that is intentionally. The name on the tombstone is not important. I wanted to make the photo speak to everyone and bring a little bit of light back so we can fight the darkness that is called missing somebody.
