After a week of stark black and white photos here is a splash of color to soothe your eyes 🙂

April 2006, Kahlenberg, Vienna, Austria.

I spent a delightful weekend in the company of two wonderful friends. Good food, wine, films, walking and through it all as a constant; lovely conversation, this photo being one such moment caught in time. What more can anyone ask for? Thank you Smita and Sascha!

Coming to the shot, due to incorrect metering on my part the photo was quite underexposed but I managed to rescue it in PS. Or so I hope. As always would love to know your thoughts and reactions.

Hey Andy, did you hear about this one? Tell me, are you locked in the punch?
Hey Andy, are you goofing on Elvis? Hey baby, are you having fun?
If you believed they put a man on the moon, man on the moon
If you believe there’s nothing up my sleeve, then nothing is cool

(Man on the Moon-R.E.M.)

Open your eyes, your nose and inhale. Inhale the freshness and beauty of light raining down from heaven.

There are certain photos that only reveal their secrets long after they have been shot. This is one of them. When I took the shot it was because I liked the refelctive faces of the boy and girl. But it was only now when I looked once at the photo before I posted it that something else struck me. Can you tell me what it is I’m refering to? It is not that difficult I think. You just need to look at the photo for a few seconds and you should get it!

I’m happy that at last I captured some autumnal colors this year (sorry for the big file size though).
