Wideness
Wideness, Wideness. It calls me, it allures me, it takes me in, it laughs.
I travel through it - from hill to lake, from mountain to cloud and farther away into the endless lands. I jump
from stone to stone, whirl up the dust, I breath the wind. Fresh it blows after and to meet me. I find silence
and the rustle of water.
I dive into colours and light, spread my wings and sing.

As time goes by my way to take photos approached to a philosophical consideration of life itself. There are
entirely different possibilities to consider the things. And every possibility leads to a different reality.
In this way it opens the freedom for me, to let something new arise and create real own, extraordinary,
surprising and impressive effigies of reality - without manipulate the reality or the pictures which were
origined. In this way my photographs talk about the love I feel for the nature. It is a nature full of miracles,
and we can find it still these days.
For me technically manipulation of the things I see are needless. The nature still holds miracles. I deprecate
alteration of my photographs or the motive, because I think, that honesty is an essential of nature- photography.
For the fascination of nature- Photographs also and mainly rises from knowing, that what is seen is real.
Let the photographs inveigle you to regard and stay and to a new experience of nature.
Beside revelation of the beauty of nature and showing that the nature is worth to protect there is another
demand for me: to suggest a new experience of nature and life in its whole by a unit of photo and lyrics.
Since I was young I'm writing lyrics and poetic prose. Some of these words I show here for you.
As I stated, that a lot of my pictures not only show beautiful nature, but also suggest special vibrancies
and emotions I began to create "Lightcards" ("Lichtkarten"). Every picture on itself
responds an "inner theme", that reflects emotions and essential spheres of human existence and soul.
My lyrics pick up these themes in an affectionate way. My intention is to intensify the the positive effects
that the photographs have to the beholder, by light- fully words which gently pick up the theme of the picture.
So I join the cognition that colours can have curative effects. The unit of colours, atmospheric photographs
and affectionate words has all the more.
I wish, my photographs and Lightcards conjure up bright spots in your life.
