We don’t need to
travel far away to find beautiful harmonious pictures. They are near us.
Still, who said that probably we’ll have to first go really far before
being able to notice near us what we were looking for, was
right.
One idea behind my photos is that we don’t need posh equipment for
shooting beautiful photos either: A good middle range camera, some
close-up lenses and a supermarket in your neighborhood for developing the
film does it. Or nowadays a computer.
My camera was a film Nikon F50. I used to think, I’d wait for the
digital stuff to first become old-fashioned before using it. It’s
convenient indeed, but it bears too much soullessness: The symbol of our
era… But then ‘08 my late F50 conked out 
. I had to get a digital
one. A Nikon D50. It’s not yet really old-fashioned but not even I could
withstand progress anymore.
… Still wondering myself WHAT is progress...? Does civilization’s progress means the progress of us as humans, too?
...Plain pictures, which with only a few elements give birth to harmony. Relaxing warm surfaces. Soothing soft curves. The simple, enchanting magic of the light playing with water.
Photos which, out of the whole reality around us, extract one component: the idea of beauty.
The pictures here are all “honest” pictures: I didn’t use any filter or some other device for altering the reality, except for the close-up lens which barely helped me to come closer. I don’t like when technique and technology get mingled with arts. The results may be beautiful, but sometimes they get mingled to an extent at which they replace the feelings.
…Because I think that art means to give a body made out of words, pictures, sounds – to invisible feelings.
And I also think that we
have to enrich our world. We all make a difference in it, and we also bear
the responsibility for what kind of difference we make and for what kind
of feelings we express. The feelings one is releasing will get some kind
of resonance somwhere, thus growing and enhancing each other.
What kind of feelings do you release into our world?
