Dark Visual Poem.
July 2018. Corticiasca, Switzerland.
I could have sworn there were footsteps close behind me.
Hurry up to reach the cabin before darkness.
Here is the making of another image no one loves – at least it seems like that! – but me. It is one of my favourites.
In one of my previous posts I started my series ‘favourite #[number]. no one loves – but me’, which shows the making of one of my much beloved, but rather “difficult” images – “difficult” in terms of “no one loves” or better “not pleasing everybody” – but nevertheless beeing one of my favourites. For me it is essential to have my own photographic style – my images do not have to please everybody.
This week I tried to simplify my vision to only one (1) color – blue – and combined it with black & white. 4 subjects in #monochrome.

Like Torbjørn Ekelund (see his novel “Im Wald: Kleine Fluchten für das ganze Jahr“) I love wild camping throughout the year. This time I spent a perfect summer night outdoors in the forest near my home.
Photoessay. July 2018.
I’d like to tell you the stories of four of my favourite images; all of them were captured after a day of quite hard work, after gently slowing down. Finally and in the end I got more and more creative. All have one in common: I always had to take two. At least two. Two photographs? No. So, two of what?
