“Books are a uniquely portable magic.”
– Stephen King
Catching a moment to read whilst the world rushes by.
This is a very experimental shot.
Rue Neuve, Brussel

I approach the gate, there is a jolt.
Everything shifts, changes.
Nothing feels the same.
Mo(ve)ment.

architecture and morality
“Sealand forgets her friends
She’ll not leave them again
Mother, sister and home
These arms fail you so”
Sealand – OMD – “Architecture and Morality” – 1981
This place has quite a history.
photography101: architecture
Today’s challenge was to present architecture in mono.
Faced with a hectic day, the temptation to dig out an archive shot was strong, I have a large collection of such shots.
But…I wanted to enter into the spirit of things!
So, before leaving for work this morning, I stepped out into the rain and grabbed this grainy shot of the EU Parliament with my iPhone and then edited it with Silver Efex Pro.
I have featured this building, which is right outside my front door, in other posts and will again.

photography 101: a pop of color
photography101: weekend two:3 (playing with light)
My last post for the weekend…I think…
I’ve had another try at time-lapse, read a lot about how to do it, and sadly have failed to apply most of what I have read – I need to work on reflections, choppy sequences, shutter speed and a zillion other things
But hey, Photo101 is about learning?
So, time for a Belgian beer to close down the evening and prepare for another week at work 😉
Sunday evening…

photography101: weekend two:2 (playing with light)
This is the first time I have tried time lapse photography.
It seemed to fit our theme today on WordPress Photo 101.
I had a lot of fun figuring out how to do this.
As you can see, I have a little figuring to do yet 😉
photography101: weekend two (play with light)
This is my response to the weekend “homework” on the WordPress Photo 101 course.
Today’s theme is “playing with light”.
I am thrilled by this challenge because for a while now I have snapped the sky through the window of my apartment and tweeted it…
So, with a few extra snaps from today, I have played with light to show you the sky over Elsene in the heart of Brussel.
Follow me on twitter @andytownend if you’d like to see the light keep changing 😉
Oh, and as a ps, if you hit refresh in your browser the image in the main circle will change…

photography101: mystery
Eyes wide open, trying to see.
Water running overhead.
Faint electrical hum.
Whiff of decay.
Shiver runs down my spine as I extend my finger.
