Labels: Mike asked for some more images from Brazil. The strong Brazilian sun at noon really made the primary colours pop. You can also see some slight vignetting typical of the Holga I was using that day.

Labels: A display of figurines at Recife's indoor market. The relationship of the topless dancing girls to the madonnas below amused me.

Labels: Recife Brazil is a city of contrasts. Centuries old villas now deteriorated are the backdrop of the main outdoor market.

Labels: This late afternoon scene with high fog misting the hills is typical of fall afternoons in the Tyrol. Hear the cow bells?

Labels: Also taken in the Austrial Tyrol, for me this image carries a sense of quiet and slight foreboding.

Labels: I like the way the hoar frost mimics the shape of the barbs. (You'll see what I mean if you view this full frame - just click on the image and press F11)

About Me

JED: My name is Jan Dymond and I live in Toronto, Canada. I wear many hats in my day to day life, but this blog is for my photography - the one passion that has stayed constant throughout my life. I studied photography under Michael De Moree who continues to inspire me decades later through his blog - Silverpixel. After working for a short period for a weekly newspaper in the early seventies, career opportunities took me in a different direction. However, three years ago, I picked up my cameras again. At the same time I enrolled at Ryerson's CE photography program going right back to the basics with darkroom 101. So the term 2nd Curtain is more than a technical reference - it reflects my return to photography. My main interest is in documentary photography; however, this blog will include a variety of images. As I develop individual projects I will post links to their galleries. The photos I post to this blog are a combination of digital and scanned film images, both current and from my archives.
