Summer Night in Pampaneira

-

I love strolling through small villages at dusk or night. I am afraid of big cities (I always have been), both day and night: too many people, too much light, too much advertising, and too much noise.

In small villages like Pampaneira (Alpujarra region, Spain) at night, you only hear birds of prey, howling dogs, and cats. Nothing reminds me of the world I want to forget. I cannot not see the lies or hear the arrogance.

Late Summer in the Countryside

It is still hot, but the days are getting shorter. It is August after all. We are impressed by how long the trees' shadows are.  And early in the morning, the countryside is full of life, with birds and hares everywhere.  Again: the province of Málaga is not just the coast. The interior is worth seeing and often has much more to offer. Here, near the small town of Archidona. Not far from the coast, but another world. Enjoy!

Even if I choose to disappear into my secret garden, I cannot forget that I am part of this world. Door to a hidden garden. Torremolinos (province of Málaga, Spain)

Urban decay

January. Time to forget the holiday season and to concentrate on  new projects. I wanted to begin this new year with something different.  With my camera, I mostly try to capture beauty. From unusual angles, but beauty - little details which one does not see because he or she is looking at the phone or just rushing, and which make this very moment unique at that place. A couple of months ago though, I saw pathetic pictures of urban decay in bankrupt Detroit (among them, pictures of hope as well). Very good work. Some of those photos remind me strongly the situation here (by far not as bad as in Detroit of course), so that I felt committed to documenting the situation next to my door. I chose to work with black and white.  Some pictures may look a bit surrealistic, but they are all very real. No montages, no filters, just the situation as it is - me with my small camera: when windows are dirty or broken and the sun is shining, one does not need any technical means to...
