Surrender (2) by

I could borrow a nice chess set from a colleague of mine after I told him about the ideas I have about photographing the pieces. The next couple of days I probably will upload some other variations but for now I think these will do…

About Bob Daalder

Bob is especially interested in ‘the soul’ of the things without one, the expressiveness of the lifeless, the essence of material….. macro photography, ‘things’ in particular.
‘Things’ don’t have the tendency to walk away, to fly, to move, to have a meaning, are always present and do not complex, have patience, don’t nag etc. etc….. As Bob wrote in his profile… “I like it simple!”…
