Winter Landscapes

January 17, 2018
Winter Tree

Most people hate it. It’s cold, wet, slippery, dark, dead. They prefer spring and summer which are hopeful, bright, and warm. I love winter. Yes, it’s dark, wet, slippery, and cold. But it also has the crystal clear beauty of ice and snow. The air is so fresh and clean and brand new, as it has never been breathed in and out by any living being before. And even if there’s no snow, the bleak and lonely silence of winter is also the sound of a new beginning. Somehow, with all distractions of colour removed, in winter it is easier to see and feel the essentials of life. So, here’s to winter, a collection of photographs of winter landscapes. Enjoy!

Top Ten Photographs from 2017, Pt. 1

January 3, 2018

Another year has gone by, and before I move on to 2018, it’s time to look back at 2017 and review my photography and to choose my top ten photographs. This is the 4th time I did this exercise, and besides the fun of looking back and relive all those moments, I think it also has significant benefits for everybody who wants to take his or her photography to the next level. I can’t thank Martin Bailey enough for introducing me to this exercise. At the end of this blog post you can find a video slideshow with all the images mentioned in this post.

Beyond the Postcard – Monochrome Sunsets

November 1, 2017
Serra de Tramuntana at Dusk

„With all these sensational black and white image challenges going around social media lately, who else has been craving a slice of color? Well, time to bring out your glorious sunsets. Show us a hint of pink… or the sky on fire!“ This message is what my friends over at The Arcanum posted recently on Facebook. But why? Monochrome sunsets are so much more interesting!

Right-wing populism in Germany and a trip to Dachau

October 6, 2017

September 24, 2017, probably won’t go down in the history of the Federal Republic of Germany as a day of celebration. On this day, for the first time since 1949 a far right wing party, the so-called AfD (Alternative for Germany) made into the German parliament with a disturbingly good result of 12.6% of all the votes. About 5-6 million people have voted for this party. A trip to the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial might help to put this disturbing new party into perspective.

Rechtspopulismus in Deutschland und ein Besuch in Dachau

October 6, 2017

Der 24.9.2017 dürfte sicher nicht als Feiertag in die Geschichte der Bundesrepublik Deutschland eingehen. An diesem Tag schaffte es erstmals seit 1949 wieder eine rechtsextreme Partei in den deutschen Bundestag, die AfD, und zwar mit dem bestürzend guten Ergebnis von 12,6% der Wählerstimmen. Zwischen 5-6 Millionen Menschen haben dieser Partei ihre Stimme gegeben. Ein Besuch in der Gedenkstätte des ehemaligen Konzentrationslagers Dachau rückt den Rechtspopulismus in Deutschland in eine geeignete Perspektive.

Deliberately confusing

September 28, 2017
Ghosts

Perfectly composed minimalist long exposures, compositions which lead the eye and assist the viewer, pixel-perfect Photoshop image manipulations wherever you turn. Today’s world of photography often follows the same rules. In this post, I go against the grain and showcase work which is deliberately confusing. Enjoy the photographs below and the animated slideshow at the end of the article.
