Or so they say. The world is full of wintery pictures, each picture more beautiful than the next. Yet we all continue to photograph the subject as if it will never come back. I admit that I photograph subjects to remember them, one way or another. Wintery landscapes have always made me dream.

Not so much the temperatures of –30C, but hey, those come with the territory.

For a while now, I have been thinking about what my photography is all about. Wondering if it is about recording moments of life or if it is about telling a story. Sometimes, a situation or an environment makes me want to tell something. Something that is not immediately evident from the environment itself. Sometimes it’s not even there, but the feeling of the story makes me click that shutter.

Having a story in mind when you click that shutter seems to be a good idea. Some pro photographers even try to say that if you don’t have a story to tell with your picture, don’t even take it.

The time has come to ramp things up a little. While seeing pictures of wild seas and waves is nice, it might be nice to see them in action as well. So here is an edition that contains video files instead of only pictures.

The lead picture is still a still picture… The rest, well, come and see.

Yes, my phone tells me regularly that I am in “roaming” mode. Without ever leaving the province. I just hope they won’t charge me roaming fees for stepping outside.  Roaming around is most definitively recommended for anyone that wants to keep a healthy head and lifestyle.

Sitting inside, doing the job and not moving around will sooner or later become fatal. Going outside in a pouring rain may do the same. But at least you’d have had some fresh air while kicking that bucket .
