Weekly Photo Challenge: Face
When I visited the Neue Pinakothek in Munich last month, one painting caught my eye from a distance. It was Ferdinand Hodler‘s “Tired of Life,” a very large oil painting depicting five men sitting on a bench, their posture and facial expressions conveying extreme disillusionment and hopelessness. I decided to photograph each one’s face separately to capture the artist’s vision of what it looks like to have had enough of life. I found these images disturbingly touching.
The painting. “Die Lebensmüden” (Tired of Life), Ferdinand Hodler, 1892.

Vienna
This was my first time in Austria, and Vienna was not disappointing. I wish we had planned to stay longer… But there was enough time to go the Opera, visit the gorgeous Belvedere complex (palaces/museum), the excellent Albertina Museum, the Hofburg Imperial Palace, St. Stephen’s cathedral, the MuseumsQuartier, and walk around the vibrant pedestrian streets, with stops for coffee and delicious cakes, apple strudel, and the famous Sacher torte.
A Rose for Lilly
