An amazing periphery – my purposeless photography (part 1).
(Zero AI – 100% human created content).
As one who is spending most of my time in the central part of the country, I prefer to live on the periphery. And if recently ) returned to the big cities for my photography, Now I stayed away from urbex – I just moved between villages and small towns. There is some charm in them – some forgotten leisurely, silence and tranquility, exactly what Ii need these crazy days.
This amazing periphery is what I mostly photographed these last two months. And even my photography objects don’t make much noise, but they are not silent. The feeling of human activity is impossible to hide and doesn’t draw the camera’s attention to it. We leave our marks on whatever we do and wherever we go. One day the aliens will find what we have turned this planet into and will force us to clean up the sh*t we left on everything we touched. This will be a century of spring cleaning.
Additionally, my slideshow of the photographs from the recently published magazine. Click on this Youtube video below for the preview.
I like the sense of solitude and quiet in these. I’m assuming you used the Ricoh GRii for these shots? It gives a really nice film look.
Thank you Stuart. Yes i used GRii for almost everything i photographed with a digital camera for the past 6 years.
I put a permanent digest page about my photography with GRii during these years

I’m sometimes tempted to shoot pictures of trash I find as I’m walking along. But it makes me sad and angry, and I don’t think that’s something I want to look back on.
Hehe trash around us is the inheritance we left to the next generation 😉 For me the old destroyed house and the 50 floors made from glass building finally is the same shit, which someone will need to clean from the earth. ;-)) but the first one is photographing sometimes very picturesque.
I wish I could argue with you about either of your points; but I can’t… if future generations are by nature less conscientious than the previous ones… the world of Idiocracy is imminent.
The world of Idiocracy is already here. i see the governments of different countries. They worry only about their ego, the status and amount of the followers on Twitter and TikTok. They are very sticky samples for all kinds of authorities – big and small.
You are, of course, correct. I was trying to be optimistic!
Well, as optimistic as a cynical realist can pretend to be.
My coworkers say that I’m pessimistic but i think that I’m realistic in a good mood 😉 i prefer to be ready for something bad instead of being surprised again and again.
Yeah, I think similarly. It’s not pessimistic to be able to see the potential outcomes of a situation.
Fine series, from a calmer world.. Take care!
Thank you Harrie. The closest to me part of the world is extremely not calm. I need these escapes.
Lovely B& W conversions, love the suitcase and the chair photos.
Thank you very much. I always enjoy finding these empty chairs on the streets This time the seat of the chair was full of fallen guavas 😉
So glad you are finding some escape…so sad that much of the world is run by greedy evil men these days. Fear not though, judgement awaits them!
Thank you Steve. Indeed hope some of these will meet in the Nuremberg Tribunal.
