Germany Nominee Still Life Amateur "no.2" I immediately thought of a sailing ship with set sails that glides over the ocean no.2 of 8 self-taught and step by step with a lot of passion with patience and perseverance books and youtube, I stumbled into the medium of photography, around end of 2009 i start to work with 35mm old metal cameras like Voigtländer Vito II and a Voigtländer Bessamatic and have not stopped since. It is the one passion that keeps me going, keeps me moving forward, keeps me curious. Today I work almost exclusively with my workhorse Hasselbald 500cm. I am aware that there are endless species and fascinating places in this world, but it would be presumptuous to believe that I have the right to see all these places. We the people imagine that the earth belongs to us! I do not think so. We are only a tiny cog in the "big gear". But photography opens up the possibility for me, to be in places in nature at unusual times, that I would never have dreamed of visiting without a camera. I prefer the film camera style because for me is this the medium of "my" future. That's why I use film. Cheers folks |
