Now it is winter time
Now it is winter time
Now it is definite, we are into winter time.
And honestly, it doesn’t really feel like anything positive.
If I could have wished, the sunny autumn days would have continued far into November.
Sunshine and the colours in all the trees – there is so much to capture with the camera, every day.
But autumn doesn’t ask us.
It takes what it wants and leaves the rest to us.

Pelé
LFI’s Picture of the Week is called “Pelé” and was taken by Huseyin Ozbudun.
The Quiet Power of Women – Ute Mahler
Ute Mahler, born 1949 in Berka, is one of Germany’s most important photographers.
For about 25 years she photographed for the GDR fashion magazine Sibylle, with women who were not just models but personalities.
After the fall of the Wall, she and her husband Werner Mahler co-founded the photo agency Ostkreuz.
City at Play – Helen Levitt
Helen Levitt (1913–2009) is regarded as one of the most important street photographers of the 20th century.
She lived almost her whole life in New York and photographed not skyscrapers and speed, but everyday life in the streets, especially the children and their games, chalk on the pavement and faces in windows.
The retrospective City at Play at Kunsthal Rotterdam showed over 220 photographs, film and colour slides from more than fifty years of work, selected for the first time from her entire archive.

Windy photography
The wind at Elbakajen
Today the wind blew at 8–10 m/s.
Not as windy as they probably have it out on the coasts, but still enough for Lake Mälaren to rise.
The waves crashed up over the railing and washed in over the quay, and against the fence the water exploded into a wall of spray.
In the middle of all this a gull glided by, completely unmoved, as if the storm were just one more wind to carry itself on.
There is something to learn from a bird like that.
I took some pictures with the Leica and some with the Hubbo Foto app, three pictures in total.
No great harvest, but sometimes three is enough.

The leaves come back
Yesterday they had a clean-up day here.
They swept and raked leaves.
Today, however, you can’t tell that they did anything at all, the area looks exactly as before, leaves everywhere.
Perhaps that is how it is with much in life.
We rake, and autumn just smiles and drops more.

Out after four days inside
Actually, I didn’t really feel like going out today.
Still, after four days indoors with a man cold, it was just nice to get out.
Fresh air makes you well, they say.
Or someone does, anyway.
Yesterday I didn’t have much to do, and I was probably a bit bored.
Perhaps because I hadn’t been able to go on my walks.

A small program for backups
A small program for backups
At the same time, I have caught up a bit with the Hubbo Foto app.
Now I am waiting for Apple’s review to be finished.
The App Store Small Business Program and the F-tax registration were completed yesterday.
In addition, I made a small program that handles backups a bit more neatly.
It is a copying tool, or more simply put: a backup program.
More precisely, it does a one-way copy of folders with saved jobs, run with one click.
It only copies what is new or changed, and it never deletes anything in the destination folder.
Copies that work like that are usually called incremental backup.
Technically, it is a graphical user interface (GUI) for the built-in copy programs rsync on Mac and robocopy in Windows.
So the program does no copying of its own, but lets you run those tools with buttons instead of commands.
In short: a simple backup program where each button copies one folder to another.
