Photographs & Memories

Pohang, South Korea, 15 June 2026 I have taken numerous pictures of the building of which the above image originates. Since the window bars are slightly blurred, I went back to take some other pics yet the light had changed. So in the end, I decided to be fond of the shot with the blurred window bars.  

Pohang, South Korea, 15 June 2026 When it comes to flowers, I'm totally ignorant. In a conventional sense, that is, for I rarely know how they are called. Well, it has never interested me, and it still doesn't. In fact, I do know so little about botany that I'm surprised to find the above flowers here in South Korea since I have seen them before in France, I think. Which to me means that they belong to France. Yes, I do know that similar climates will generate similar flowers ... nevertheless ...  

Pohang, South Korea, 13 June 2026 I was looking down from a pedestrian bridge when I discovered this, to my eyes, pretty uniquely covered bench. Later this Sunday, I took many more pictures but they didn't  seem to turn out much better.

Pohang, South Korea, 13 June 2026 I usually photograph flowers from the front. It’s rare for me to take  pictures of them from behind, and when it’s windy, as it was in this case,  it takes quite some patience not to give up.

Pohang, South Korea, 14 June 2026 It is an overcast Sunday, and I'm heading towards Songdo Beach through streets I haven't previously taken. As always, I feel very much drawn to ordinary things. This has been one constant of my life.

Pohang, South Korea, 13 June 2026 A photograph is always a moment in time, or, differently put, the next moment is not the same, cannot be the same, 'cause it has changed. Which brings to mind a thought I recently came across in Robert Galbraith's The Silkworm. We all are here by accident, really. Had conception happened just a moment later, we wouldn't be here.
