Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
No, this is not a SoFoBoMo image
We were in Hermagor today. Hermagor, a small town in Carinthia’s south-western valley Gailtal, is the heart of Carinthis’s bacon production, and every year there is a Bacon Festival. We ate Frigga, the traditional lumberjack meal made of [...]
959 - The Sun
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
One more week, one more sunrise in Vienna. This was Friday morning. I didn’t shoot much more that day, it was a travel day as usual, although I saw a breathtaking sunset when arriving in Carinthia, confined to the train and helpless as usual
Regarding “Urban [...]
958 - Red Is The Color
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
It’s late Saturday morning, I was not able to post Thursday’s images yesterday. Let’s try it now
Wednesday night I had plenty of images for my SoFoBoMo book, but now that I don’t have the need for numbers, I’m beginning to get picky
The [...]
The Influence Of The Past
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
Despite the profound effect that modern technology has had on photography, many of us are still captivated by the look of photographs from the medium’s early years. I was looking at photographs by William Henry Jackson the other day, and was quite impressed with the quality of his work using equipment [...]
Quick Quotes: Ibarionex Perello
Submitted by Howard Grill Blog
Ibarionex Perello, during one of his recent Candid Frame interviews, said, almost offhandedly:
“Living a photographic life doesn’t necessarily mean going into business as a photographer.”
Like my last post regarding what Brooks Jensen had to say about procrastination, it felt like this was being said directly to me. I suspect it has [...]
My Little Brother
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
I seem to be shooting more people photos lately. This one is of my little brother, Matt. Actually, I should say he’s my younger brother, since he’s been taller than me for a few decades now. But I guess no matter how old or big he gets, he’ll always be my [...]
Elementary School Memories
Submitted by Craig Photography Blog
Preschool – My first memories are of a teacher who yelled a lot, a very old, wrinkly, mean lady teacher who yelled a lot. I remember a very nice teacher’s aid that would take care of us (God bless her) from that wicked old witch. The trauma-highlight for me was [...]

957 - Remix!!
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
It’s Thursday morning, these are yesterday’s images.
No, I’ve made no SoFoBoMo bookmaking progress, I wanted to, but I went to sleep early (just for a nap, just for one and a half hours, just …) and woke up at 6am. That’s not so bad though. The [...]
It Takes Just One - 8 Months Later
Submitted by Ralph Nordstrom Photography Blog
You may recall a post from late last year where I lamented that protecting our beautiful earth requires constant vigilance, that it takes just one person to destroy it and once gone it can be gone forever. That was about the time the Schulman Grove visitor center in the Ancient [...]
Stop And Learn Something
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
We’ve passed this stone edifice on the main road through Smoky Mountain National Park dozens of times, but never stopped to see what it is. (Click on photo to enlarge.) Saturday, while traveling through the park to visit my brother in Pigeon Forge, we stopped to check it out. It turned [...]
R.I.P – Social Networking
Submitted by Craig Photography Blog
I just finished reading the entire FACE BOOK when I got to the end I was so TWITTERed out. I felt like I needed MYSPACE but I wanted to be LINKED-IN to the entire GAIA. When the universe opened up to me it said “this is YOU TUBE not mine.”
After [...]
956 - Everybody’s Gonna Be Happy
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
Today I’ll present only one image. I’ve shot more, but I didn’t process them. I was too busy creating the InDesign template for my SoFoBoMo book.
I’d say the layout is mostly done. The template contains master pages for all kinds of spreads that I may need: blank [...]
On God - Deism ???
Submitted by Craig Photography Blog
A comment was recently left on a posting of mine titled “On Being an Artist”. In that essay there is a paragraph where I compare man’s art creations to God’s creations, neither one have power over created work once released to the world.
Commenter wrote, “Your simplified version of 18th century [...]
955 - Pink On White Walls
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
So far I’m quite satisfied with my SoFoBoMo progress. Yesterday on the train from Vienna and then at home, I created an InDesign template.
Basically I do three things now: First there is work on the template. All layout changes are made exclusively in the template of [...]
Brother-in-law
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
My brother invited my family and my sister’s family over to a cabin they had rented for the weekend in Pigeon Forge, TN. We ate, drank, ate, caught up on all the latest family news, and then ate some more. Hey, we’re all from Louisiana and we like to eat! And [...]
A Little Cooperation
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
Normally, my oldest daughter, Heather, doesn’t want anything to do with my photo making activities, especially if she’s the target. That is, until I offered to do some portraits of her in the garb of her new obsession, fencing.
She got interested in fencing in her first year at Appalachian State University, [...]
Procrastination
Submitted by Howard Grill Blog
Brooks Jensen was talking to me….directly to me. Well, that’s the way it sure felt anyway! I am referring to his recent ‘Editor’s Comments’ in the current issue of LensWork. His thoughts were particularly apropos to me and, I suspect, to many other photographer/artists.
The basic premise of his essay was [...]
954 - Mirror
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
It’s Sunday evening, a short weekend is over, I’m back on my way to Vienna. From the train I just saw a breathtaking sundown, a little provocative after a steamy, hot day with dull, overcast sky
I don’t really care though. I was exhausted from yesterday [...]
953 - Come Away, Fellow Sailors
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
I had all kinds of plans for Saturday morning: I would quickly post Friday’s images, then I would work a little on my SoFoBoMo book, would go out into the bright, sunny day and shoot some nice images and …
I rose at 6:30am, and at 11:30 I [...]
952 - I Bet You’re All So Happy In Suburbian Dream
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
Well, that’s not really suburbia, at least has not been for 150 years now
This is in Vienna’s 8th district, very near from where I work, very near to the heart of the city.
Are these dreams? Does any of these images qualify? Actually I don’t [...]
951 - When the Sun Comes Out II
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
I’ve promised you a sunrise, well, that’s a sunrise
This V shape is the lowest piece of horizon that I see from my living room window, and twice a year, most probably for one day only, the sun rises exactly there.
It was purely by accident. The [...]
