Moments in time

Photography

Snowy mountain landscapeA photo is an image of a moment in time, experienced by a photographer. It shows colors and shapes that render an image in the mind of the beholder. Sometimes a photo will evoke emotions.

Tower of the Heilig Geist SpitalA photo does not show reality, it is not objective. Because the photographer chooses the motive, the view, the moment, the technical parameters, etc. a photo can only show the subjective reality of the photographer - or what he declares to be reality. The ubiquitous availability of digital image manipulation has made this self evident.

It is in this sense that my pictures show my subjective reality. I do not take photos, I create images.
