Philosophy

My photography

There are a few things that I consider important. I'm showing my own photographs of subjects that I'm interested in. Nothing more. Nothing less. I've made the mistake in the past to copy a lot of photos, just to make them more likable to others (mostly Internet folk). That is happening no more. This is what I like. If you do too, then that's great.

I use no titles. I'm not giving titles to my photographs. I see no valid reason why I should do that. A title does not make a photo “better” by calling it "Street lights in Frankfurt". I know, it is not very Google friendly, but that is not the point.

Photo gear and technology. Irrelevant. I care about the subject of a photograph, not about ISO and megapixels. If you'd like to see some ISO noise comparison crops then find a forum. My gear? Guess and send the info to my email.

Mass production of photos. I usually shoot digital, but I'm not going to post a hundred images on my site every week. Maybe 2 per month. I will also create some things with an old analog camera. It's not that I have too much time on my hands. I generally want to slow down and create something good really slowly. Might even be only 2-3 slides in the end, but good ones.
