If it’s not on a street, it’s still considered Street Art, right? I guess. Anyway, this was on the 2nd level of an old, abandoned WWII listening station just outside of Berlin. We stayed a little too late and got in trouble for being here, but it was worth it!
I think because I grew up without a subway system that I get overly excited in cities that have them. People that grow up in London probably kinda hate the subways. I sort of like the confusion and the challenge of figuring out what the hell is going on down there and how am I supposed to get to where I need to go? Thank god Google Maps helps you out with this stuff… otherwise I would probably take 5x as long to get to the wrong place.
A few days ago, we hiked up to the top of the Remarkables to see Lake Alta, but that was in autumn where there is no snow. Here’s one I got in the wintertime when the ski field was active… and no, I did not hike up here. I hate hiking mountains in the snow so I took a snowmobile instead!
My first trip after things calm down a little will be to visit the family and then I’ll probably go to Japan! 🙂 I’ll probably stay in a bunch of my old favorite spots as well get out into the countryside like this again. This magical area is in Ginzan Onsen.
You may recognize this canal from the “Making of” my prints video at www.TreyRatcliff.com.
One night in Dusseldorf after a long day working on the fine art project, I decided to grab my camera and tripod and walk around the city alone. It’s a great place for photography, just like most cities in Germany. This is one of the long canals near my hotel.
Here’s a little pre-Covid view of street life in London. I guess I could photoshop little masks on everyone and say I took it yesterday. Actually, I don’t even know if there’s a lot of people out on the streets there, but I suppose there are. I know Stu to runs all the tech and stuff for me is in full lockdown in Scotland… so there’s really none of this going on there, I suspect.
I love taking photos at festivals and raves. You end up seeing some of the most interesting people. They are always happy, engaged, and more than excited to have their photos taken. If you like people photography but sometimes are a bit afraid to take photos of strangers, then I recommend trying a festival or two. You’ll get loads of shots!
It was cool to go to Germany to see the next Hans Zimmer concert and watch everyone warming up. I know very little about music, but it’s always nice to watch people practicing their own craft. I got to talk to Tina and a bunch of the other band members to watch how incredible they are… their commitment and drive is really inspiring!
Well, this is pretty cool, if I do say so myself, and I do. We’ve designed about 100 of these things and here are some favorites all mashed together in about three minutes. Enjoy, and tell your friends, except for Joe Rogan.
When we were in Sydney, my friend David Maxwell got us on a boat to scoot around the harbour for a while. It was great fun. We went under the famous bridge there a few times and saw people casually walking across the top. I thought you had to be harnessed in or something, but, hey, you know how crazy Aussies can be!
If you’re a Passport Member then today you’ll get a little tour of what I’ve learned about NFT (Non-Fungible Tokens). You can think of them like bitcoin but for digital art. Strange, right? I’ll break it down for you!
I’ll show you two different marketplaces and a little bit about the way NFTs work. It’s a strange world we live in, and it just got stranger! But maybe also a bit more awesome!
As cheesy as it is, Disney World offers all kinds of great photo opportunities. I guess they are still going strong in the middle of Covid, but I haven’t been there in a few years. One of my best recommendations for a photographer is to go to Epcot and take your time taking photos, well into the night. Even after they close, the security is very nice and they let you take as many photos as you like.
