Ich wusste nicht, ob ich in diesen Corona Zeiten wirklich nach Athen reisen sollte. Aber dann wollte ich auf jeden Fall Gavi und Anastasia treffen, zwei Tänzerinnen, mit denen ich zusammen im nächsten Jahr ein Fotoprojekt auf der Insel Samothraki realisieren will. Also bin ich hin. Habe ein Hotel ziemlich genau in der Plaka gebucht. […]
I visited the island of Syros in the 80’s. Sometime in March. Grey sky, scratched sea. We took the first accommodation they’ve offered us. A souterrain room, a cold and clamp wind whistled by the only window which faced the dooryard. The weathered charme of the proud, once rich port city Hermoupolis, still the capital […]
Colors. It’s not easy for me to get them right in my photography. That’s one of the reasons I ususally prefer black and white. To get rid of the endless possibilities to influence the character of a picture. And to spoil it. But this weekend with bright afternoon sunshine I decided to give colors another […]
Mein letzter Besuch in Amsterdam war in den späten 80er Jahren. My beloved studierte damals Tanz an der Theaterschool Amsterdam. In der Zeit hatte die Stadt einen ziemlich wilden, rauen, schmutzigen Ruf, wenn auch auf die irgendwie charmante Weise. Alle Spielarten eines individuellen Lebensstils in einer der schönsten Altstädte Europas. Ich erinnere Myriaden von Tauben, die die Fritten […]
Wir fahren fast jedes Jahr nach Holland an die Küste. Entweder im November oder rund um die Karnevalszeit. Meist bläst uns der kalte Wind ins Gesicht, dass die Ohren schmerzen. Dieses Mal war das Wetter ganz anders. Der erste Tag war fast windstill, feucht und schwer hing ein fahler Nebel über dem Meer. Am zweiten […]
It’s the Reds and Blues which sometimes (not very often) let me work the raw-files into color-pictures. Strong reds and blues. Preferably with a touch of Black. If I can find them in one frame: wonderful! These pictures were taken with the Ricoh GR and post-produced with the RNI-preset ‚Technicolor‘ . Deutsche Übersetzung: siehe unten. […]
Actually, I am not very interested in reviewing cameras. That doesn’t mean, I don’t like to read reviews – quite the opposite. They are an ever sparkling source for an illness a lot of amateur photographers suffer from: the gear acquisition syndrome. But truth to be told: new cameras or lenses just very rarely improve […]
Our perception of dance is largely influenced by the idea of perfection. Perfect bodies execute difficult movements in a hopefully perfect manner. Isn’t that what dancers are used to train for most of their lives? To stay in shape, give us an idea, what could be achieved if we would train as hard as dancers […]
Of course Cologne isn’t depressive, Cologne is exactly what it’s vsitors might see in it. But in January there is no laughter, not even in Cologne. There are weather conditions. And after some light-tight days the city is blurry – or at least my mood is. There is a long tradition of Cologne-Bashing, especially from […]
I don’t know, why I can’t see New York in normal colors. Technicolor seems much more appropriate for me. Of course cultural heritage plays an important role in the way you see places or faces. For me, New York is Technicolor, it’s the movies, the musicals which were made in the 50’s or 60’s of […]
