We All Need Heroes
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
I believe everybody (including adults) needs a hero. We can all use someone to look up to, admire, and try to emulate; someone who inspires our best. Of course, we need to choose our heroes carefully. They should possess character traits worthy of admiring, and not just fame, talent, or possessions [...]
839 - Run Run Run
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
It’s a tiny bit colder now in Vienna and the drizzle has changed to snow. Not much, but enough to give a nice morning view from my living room.
I like this image. Actually I like this very much, and I had already decided to make it [...]
“Thoughts On Photography” Podcast
Submitted by Howard Grill Blog
My leaning in photography podcasts has been towards those that deal with the creative, as opposed to the technical, aspects of the medium. As such, I regularly listen to, and have previously written about, Jeff Curto’s Camera Position podcast, Brooks Jensen’s Lenswork podcast, and Ibarionex Perello’s The Candid Frame. I have [...]

“Hello Everyone! Been staying inside to stay warm lately and getting ready to gear up for the upcoming Romance Holiday. In spirit of one of my favorite holidays (yes…I’m a hopeless romantic) we’d like to offer a special for [...]
Flowers in Winter
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
From my archives, some potted orchids I photographed a few years back. (Click on photo to enlarge.) Even in the dead of winter, many towns or colleges have greenhouses in which they grow beautiful flowers year round. Some commercial greenhouses might let you photograph their flowers - it wouldn’t hurt to [...]
838 - A Walk In The Dark
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
Yesterday morning I rose very early and went to work through first drizzling rain and then some snowflakes, almost alone on the streets at the end of the night. After eleven hours of work I took a different way home, again in the dark and again in [...]

I Seldom Make Notes
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
Because I have the bad habit of seldom making notes while I’m making photographs, I can’t remember what building this is. It’s a dome on one of the Smithsonian museums in Washington DC, but I can’t remember which one. I guess I need to invest in a notebook! (Click on photo [...]
837 - Rainy Day Blues
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
In the morning I made some mediocre pictures of bicycles, quite spiritless, but there’s always the afternoon, right?
Well, shortly before noon it began to rain and it stubbornly kept to that all day, even when I went home. In the meantime I had looked at my bicycle [...]

Asking: Why is capitalism aloud to spread disease but democracy is not permitted to stop it?
Rick Mitchell at 9:58am January 27
What disease does capitalism spread, and how is democracy supposed to stop it? Poverty spreads disease and capitalism is capable of stopping it, by building hospitals, schools, and training and [...]

I made this photograph last April during our trip to Washington, DC. (Yes, I still have photos from that trip that I haven’t done anything with yet.) This is the Robert and Arlene Kogod courtyard in the center of the National Portrait Gallery building. The roof is a wavy glass–and–steel structure [...]

836 - The Threat
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
Sometimes I really wonder what people think when they see me standing somewhere on the street, bending over, down to, say, the handle of a garbage container, holding a big camera with a big lens near to it. Not that I care, but I wonder
For [...]
835 - Home
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
Michael had visited yesterday evening and stayed over night. When he left after a late breakfast, it was almost 11:30, and I had to make a decision: Go out or stay home?
The day had started quite well, only to go down in quick decline. This image [...]
834 - Winter Swamp
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
Today weather was indecisive. It began with fog, later we had some raindrops, some snowflakes, no fog but high clouds, freshly fallen but wet snow, actually more water than snow, in short: everything that makes you want to be at home, nothing that lures you out for [...]

‘41 Chevrolet
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
I found this 1941 Chevrolet Special Deluxe Coupe parked on a side street in Cherokee, NC. Except for the modern white letter tires, it had been restored to original condition. This one even has an authentic parking ticket under the windshield wiper, a detail added by the local police. I almost [...]
Big Red Buick
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
This 50’s era Buick was at a hot rod show, and it didn’t seem a bit out of place. (Click on photo to enlarge.) That’s because Buick used to make some hot cars. Buick used to compete in NASCAR, for crying out loud! What happened? Now Buick makes some of the [...]

833 - Beautiful Boyz
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
I’ve mentioned it some times, you may know, I have a science fiction phase right now. I am quite through with Ursula LeGuin’s classic novels, only two books with short stories left, and at the moment I read William Gibson’s “Count Zero”, the second part of his [...]
