| Heuer, habe ich eine ausgezeichnete Webseite gefunden, namens Curiously Incongruous mit "foto-poetischen" Bildern von London. Dann ist es mir eingefallen, sowas ähnliches auch für meine Lieblingsstadt zu machen. Im Gegensatz zu der Londonseite, habe ich nur einen Fuji S304 Fotoapparat |
Earlier this year I came across an excellent website called Curiously Incongruous containing "photo-poetic images of London". This gave me the idea of producing something similar for my favourite city. Unlike the London site, I only have a Fuji S304 camera. |
