A Visit at the Museum

A visit at the museum is always a special treat.
Somedays we realize what beauty some pictures hold, on others we forget the world and the fast moving reality.

Sometimes we do not even realize the beauty of nature which lies in front of us. Neither the less, we should keep our eyes open and seek the beauty of live.

Have a nice day!

Two Inventions

I went back a bit in time for this unique and a bit historic post...

While spending some time researching about the first digital camera, I spontaneously decided to make a little blog entry about Steven Sasson. Further more I choose to give the inventor of the instant camera, Edwin Land, just as much recognition as the inventor of the first digital camera.

Both of the following images where parts of videos, which had been print screened from these (Edwin Land / Steven Sasson) two videos. The images taken from the videos have been intentionally manipulated in these ways, to resemble the individual inventions.

Mister Edwin Herbert Land was the inventor of the polaroid camera, 1947 he presented his revolutionary instant camera, which became one of the most popular camera systems of all times! Up until today, this unique style which can be captured by the varieties of a polaroid film, is still of great meaning and desire! Thank you dear Mister Land














Mister Steven J. Sasson is know to be the inventor of the very first digital camera, which was developed around 1975. His fascinating device had a resolution of about 10'000 pixels and took about 23 seconds for one image! Incredible, but yet very impressive, the picture was captured on a simple digital cassette tape! Thank you dear Mister Sasson

The Girl of None

This was a private commission by SFZ,
simply retouched by AWM Photography.

schmidts mess

There's a guy I know, his name is Schmidt.
This is Schmidts mess; maybe to you.

But dear Mister Schmidt knows,
exactly where what is.

People might call it a mess...
...he calls it organized.

It's nice to know that
people are individual.

Junkorama

Enjoy the clean air and the sky, enjoy nature.

The human race is impacted by junk,
we live in a world of nonsense.

Everybody wants everything,
things we do not need...

Oh, but of course I want a porsche, a 80 megapixel digiback,
a great big home, a harley davidson, a race bike, a candy shop,
a little someone to clean my house, a great big swimming pool,
an iPad and an iPhone 4, a little pink dog, a private masseuse,
a house in the bahamas, a sail boat and millions of dollars,
and, and...

...and. Uhmm, mmh... what was I talking about???



A week later...


Another two weeks later..

do not judge me

Talk to the man in the mirror.

A strange world

Monday, 2:47 am......................

..........I'm a bit tired for a great comment of wisdom.

But I am sure you can enjoy this strange world without me:

Das Haus im Grünen

Dreaming of a little house, out in the green... Aren't you too?

A reflection of Art

Here's a little preview of my book that I've been working on.
It's about half done, although it will still take quite a bit of time.

It's basically a retroperspective of my creative and artistic past.
From the beginning until now. It will also be documenting some
detailed backgrounds, thoughts and ideas about certain artwork.

Please Say Hello

Sometimes we think we know people and yet we don't.
Sometimes we get to know new people and forget them.
Sometimes we forget people we know and nobody cares.

Oh well, I'm glad that sometimes I am different.

art again

Up until about two months ago, it has been a while back since I've actually painted. But as I've been back and living at the place where I have my atelier, I've become eager to paint again and to create another piece of artwork. This is my last painting which I've finished about two weeks ago, after working on it for a couple of days or should I say, long nights.

Here's a way how to make "ICE TEA" :-)

byproducts

Trash, junk, nonsense or just simply jack.
Byproducts can be all that and more.

Sometimes byproducts turn out to be
something unexpectedly perfect,
genuinely marvelous.

These two byproducts, as I call them,
originated while I was working on images
for my webpage, which will be up very
shortly at AWM PHOTOGRAPHY.

Hello, hello and goodbye.
Sitting and waiting, time goes by. People pass by.

Goodbye, goodbye and Oh! -Hello!!
Now, we can go. A person has arrived.

Tomorrow will be a new day,
what may come nobody knows.

rgb selfportrait

Two posts ago I promised a picture, following up on my promise,
here you will find "my word".

FOLLOW ME AND "LIKE"

Dia Dia Shanghai

Shanghai is a beautiful city.
It's big, dynamic and
full of contrasts.

My "Dia Dia" Project on Shanghai resembles this.
I choose to present the small Dias in a dynamic
and large environment, creating a contrast to each other.

Another day, another way.
Why not look at the world
from another angle...?






Well why not. Fast food, but it tastes alright.

curves and lines in rgb

Actually I am not sure, but somehow I do like this composition.
However the origin of these "rgb" curves and lines was another.
They originated from a school assignment, a couple weeks ago.
The picture I did back then will be coming up soon.

Take care and good night.

Green City

_____
GRÜN

Die grüne Farbe verbindet man in erster Linie mit der Natur, mit Bäumen, Pflanzen, Wälder und oftmals denk man auch an saftig grüne Wiesen.

Daher habe ich mich zum Thema Grün genau mit diesen nahegelegenen Gedanken befasst. Insbesondere habe ich mich auf Grünflächen in einer monotonen, grauen Stadt befasst.

Eine graue, hektische Stadt im Vergleich zu einem grünen, ruhigen Wald bildet einen grossen Kontrast und genau dies versuchte ich in meinen Bildern zum Ausdruck zu bringen.

Als ich die Bilder der wenigen Grünflächen, welche sich um vereinzelnde Bäume in einer lebhaft, hektischen Stadt machte, musste ich sehr gezielt den richtigen Moment abwarten, bei welchem sich gerade keine rasante Passanten durch die idyllische Stimmung meines Bildausschnittes flitzten.

Zur Bearbeitung der Bilder habe ich mich auch wieder auf den Kontrast von Stadt und Natur bezogen. Wobei ich gegensätzlich zur Realität, die Stadt möglichst kahl und leblos darstellen liess und die kaum beachteten Grünflächen, welche in der Menschenmenge und Gebäude Flut einer Stadt untergehen,habe ich als lebhaft, farbig und starkes Element des Bildes hervorgebrachte.

A tribute to Thomas Struth

Last sunday my companion and myself visited the lovely exhibition by Thomas Struth at the Kunshaus in Zürich. Since I am a great fan of all the known Bechers Students (without naming any further names),
I obviously love the work done by Mr. Struth and I advise anybody interested in art and photography to visit the exhibition.

It was an honor for me to see one of the leading photographer of our age and therefor I would like to dedicate this entry along with the following picture to Thomas Struth. Thank you.

Faces

Everywhere, they're behind every corner. Waiting for you.
Sometimes, they will come out of the dark. Seeking for you.
Desperately, they're waiting for a chance. Haunting for you.
Unexpectedly, they disappear to nowhere. Dreaming for you.

But aren't we all, one of them...?


138 and 6 times myself. Enjoy.

the way out

Often we try finding our way out - out of the dark.
Sometimes just as often we run into - into the light.
Out of the dark and into the light, is what we often do.

Out of the house, into the city.
Out of the cave, into the nature.

From dark to light - from black to white.



But what if it was the other way around?

Noemi

Actually I was working on a painting for a friend of mine. The painting will include photographs of her child, which she made herself. I was finishing up as I stacked the crumbled pictures together and placing them aside. As they lied there, the moment caught my eye and I could not resist capturing that sight.

Hotel Hotel

This was actually suppose to be a panorama... as you might see or not. My stitching program somehow, obviously had a different idea in mind. Panorama here or there... what ever happened within the software, this is what came out of it and yes, I actually kinda like it. I hope you do to.

A day at the Lake

...that was the day before yesterday.

Lying in the grass, enjoying the sun and the shadow.
Watching the people.

Lying in the grass enjoying the nature and the wind.
Watching the people, passing by.

Lying in the grass, enjoying the girl and the beauty.
Watching the people passing by, one by one.
