Landmark Series

Mon Nov 2, 2009, 8:48 AM
  • Listening to: In Extremo - Am Goldenen Rhein
  • Reading: Roger Zelazny "The Great Book of Amber"
  • Playing: The Witcher
I felt like I had to justify the pics of my ongoing landmarks-series. Due to those being...well...crappy for many reasons.

I had a rather rough time at that course, because being pressed into a certain style of photography that I felt didn't suit me didn't improve either my mood or my creativity. After two days had passed, I felt ready to chuck my camera and everything that belongs with it into the local river and never to think of pushing that trigger again.

A day before the course was through and so a day before the great exhibition, I was suddenly struck by an idea - something I had desperately tried to find (unsuccessfully) for five days in a row. It sprung me, when our instructor was asked whether we were going to go taking pictures together (we were 15 people), and he answered that something like that was to no avail, because we weren't a group of tourists taking pictures when signs told them to.

And since I had witnessed a lot of tourists taking very stereotypical pictures of the important landmarks in Innsbruck, I thought, "Why the hell not produce the stereotypical tour through Innsbruck". The fact that I had only one day left at that time kinda added to the whole "It's Thursday, it must be Brussels"-feeling, only this time it was

"It's Friday, it must be Innsbruck"

Unfortunately, the weather didn't really play its part, so I had to do with the overcast, kinda rainy day I was offered. The pictures turned out accordingly, and so I had to make the best out of the ones I had, lest I wanted to be without a project at that exhibition. So, please, bear with me and those flawy pictures.

Thanks go - again, to :iconpyanfar: for holding up that sign and to :icontheoldman: for helping me make the sign. :)

Enjoy the series about the most famous landmarks of my hometown
