this time last year
Photos from the school trip to Poland in January included this set of 4 which were part of a project designed to simulate an entry to the prestigious European Architecture Prize. I posted them in the summer to appear here in the future - it’ll be interesting to see whether I like them as much in 6 month’s time.
Edit:
Well, that was an interesting exercise. I do often post stuff into the future, say if I have a lot of posts I might spread them out a bit, or push a few ahead if I’m going away, so there aren’t too many gaps, or the gaps there are aren’t too long. But I’ve never posted anything as much as six months ahead before.
Can’t remember who it was who said that you’d better like your photos when you take them, because chances are that’ll be the only time you do. That resonate with anyone? It’s not quite like that for me. There are photographs I love when I see them coming through the lens, as I open the shutter, and then I don’t like them when they’re printed often. It takes a distance of maybe weeks or months to really enjoy the good ones, and then the pleasure fades when there are others, perhaps better (whatever that means), or more interesting (to me at least).
With this wall series, I loved them as I took them along the ancient town walls in Kracow in the snow, and then I forgot all about them. And I love them again now. The camera is terrible: these are about the only thing I made with it. There is a print of this I must make for someone: I haven’t forgotten.
