This week, John Steiner of the Lens-Artists came up with a challenge that really got me thinking: John prompts us to pick a word “that fits your topic and select three or four appropriate photos to share.” In view of my toy photography years and the time before that, would I find any common denominator? I used to be very intersted in abstract photography, exploring real space and pictorial composition. It also seems I like showing affiliations or connections, both spatial and social.
One way of doing so was employing neagative space and stark contrasts – which is something I’ve also been exploring with toys lately. So here’s a little retrospective: three toy photos, and three photos showing memorials.
The latter date back to 2012-13, while the picture with the three deck chairs is no older than a week.

These are simply great.
Just excellent 🙂
okay – the three deck chairs one is my fav today – but great post for the challenge and word graphic
Good choice!!! Wonderful images!
Excellent. 👏
Perfection yet again. Hard to pick a favourite, but I do love the first one a tiny bit more than the rest 🙂
Deckchairs? Thank you! My first thought was insects…😂
Great idea Tobias. I must admit the 3 deck chairs is my favorite of the set but the woman on the train (?) is a close second.
Incredibly well done!
I love the word you chose, and the images are simply stunning in their starkness! I love the train shot and the deck chairs!
Great word, and I love the images that you have taken, they are very clever.
