Friday Foto Flog, v 3.010

Rotterdam Makes It Happen

Hello photo lovers!

The series of foto flogs continues on the revamped and revitalized Progress Pond.

The Foto Flog was curated by a lot of people over the years. At one point, they were even themed – Foto Fairs. For now let’s keep it loose. This week’s featured photo is just one of the street murals I encountered in Rotterdam. It captures the city’s slogan. Someone added an s to “make” suggesting that the slogan is not empty. So although perhaps we are not quite ready for a Foto Fair, let’s see if anyone has any good street mural photography to share. Maybe it’ll be an informal Foto Fair.

Posting photos should be easy. Do you have images hosted somewhere? You should just need an url. Once you place an url of your photo into a comment, your photo should post just fine. No need for any code any more. I host some of my personal photos on Flickr. I think some others use Imgur and find that hosting service satisfactory. Whatever works.

To participate in the foto flogs, you don’t have to be a pro. I am definitely an amateur hobbyist. I’ve been taking tons of photos – mostly of landscapes and cityscapes – since I was in my early teens. Currently, I use my LG ThinQ 40 for everyday use. I do have a 35mm camera that is a good three decades old, although one of my daughters seems to have commandeered that one. I’ve always been impressed with the folks who have posted their work in the past. So, let’s make this come to life.

Cheers!

    This mural took the entire side of a building. I tried to get some close-up shots as well, as there was just so much info, so much context to try to absorb in that one mural.

    I saw this one a few times whenever I went to marqt, which was about 10-15 minutes from Centraal Station (if memory serves). Good place for fresh fruits and so on. Managed to find a pretty decent organic Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon that was very reasonably priced for someone on a budget.

    One of the cool things was I kept finding routes frequented primarily by locals and definitely off the beaten path for tourists.

  6. I am thinking that I will keep this particular foto flog up for the following week and see if anyone else wants to add. It is possible that I am one of the few who frequents this blog who enjoys street art as a photographic subject.

  11. Hopefully some of you all noticed the 3-D effects the mural artists responsible for the work captured in my featured photo produced. Wonderfully done.

  13. Well, Don, you asked for street photography. I don’t do much of it, but here are two from the area around Independence Hall in Philadelphia

  15. We got some participation – so it was not just me this time. Okay. I may post a new foto flog next week. Let’s think cityscapes and street scenes.
