street and travel photography
If you don’t have any problems, talk about the weather. Well, it’s pretty cold – and end of February. The wind’s biting your face. At least the sun’s stretching out, creating sinister games of light and shadow. I wish I had the blood of a Sibirian, but than I most probably would drink more alcohol […]
It was a relatively bright Saturday morning when I heard in the radio that this winter has been the darkest for a long time. And you can feel it. This lack of light creeping into your system to smother your vitality. I took my camera and found some places with just the right amount of […]
Yesterday was the 11th of November. The beginning of the carnival session. This year on a Saturday. Myriads of visitors had been announced, and when I left home I saw them: thousands of mostly young people, some of them in gorgeous colorful costumes, a lot of them already drunk. I took quite a long walk […]
Xanthi, located in the north-eastern part of Greece called Thrace, not far away from the greek-turkish border, isn’t exactly what’s called a megalopolis. What makes it quite special is the comparatively high share of students – and a strong muslim minority, some with turkish roots. Others are pomaks, slavic or thracian muslims living in Serbia, […]
Liège once had been a rich industrial town in Belgium. But with the decline of it’s factories you can see the scars poverty has left. Without wanting to be cynical: in almost any aspect it’s far more interesting to photograph in a city, which once had great times but now struggles to find a new […]
Praising the Beauty of Paris is somehow like bringing owls to Athens. But what’s beauty in the face of political hardship? Somehow I tend to visit Megacities during election campaigns, and this time the clash between the nationalist Marine Le Pen and young Emanuel Macron, the (maybe?) poster boy of globalized capital, overshadowed our stay in a […]
Ich war immer schon beeindruckt von großen Industrieanlagen – besonders, wenn sie geschlossen sind, wenn kein Mensch den Anblick einer gewaltigen Architektur beeinträchtigt, die dazu bestimmt ist, tausende von Menschen einzufassen und zu benutzen, um Profit zu generieren. Es liegt eine Atmosphäre von Erleichterung, Vergeblichkeit, ja Freiheit in der Luft, wenn man solche verlassene Anlagen […]
Die Leinwand bleibt schwarz, aber die Stimmen, die Schläge, das Stöhnen und Keuchen, all das verheißt nichts Gutes. Später werden wir die Vergewaltigung mehrfach sehen, sie bricht unvermittelt und brutal ein in das sonst gut eingemauerte Seelenleben der von Isabelle Huppert gewohnt großartig verkörperten Protagonistin, die maliziös und kühl und schlau ist, und alles mögliche sein […]
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 […]
