Experimenting today with zone plate photography. No lenses. Ironic when sooo much money went into these fabulous lenses sitting on my shelf. But today, all I took with me to the ebach was the zone plate. Trying to figure out how the world looks via its concentric circles.
....and I love it. Looking at this set of 3 images, it brought back memories of my first photography project, and farther away memories of me as a little girl reading 'Peter Pan in Kensington gardens'. The baby Peter Pan who could fly, since he never doubted that he could. And ceased flying when he started to ask himself whether he will be able to do so without wings.
Looking at the images of the little girl 'flying' bring an unexpected wish. I wish I would not doubt whether I can fly, I wish I would just fly.
3 hours on the beach. Soaked shoes and socks getting dry now in the sun. 3 images capturing one magnificent moment. I am flying !!!!!!!
