The Collection of Contrasts

I love colours and want to get inspired of all the different shades and juicy mixtures of the Natural palette. At the same time I know that there is much more behind the first colourful impression of the moment. The same spot and the view changes fluently during the day and during the seasons. Sometimes the change happens dramatically in one moment. The colours, the shadows and the structure including all the movement, are never exactly the same. Sometimes it is nice to play with the reality. I want to see things also in black and white. Then you notice the interaction of the light, the lines and even the composition of the picture better. Sometimes it is good to be aware why you are attracted to some certain themes and why you wanted to memorise a moment with your camera. With our intuition we react faster, and the analytical mind is often following. Even the most analytical person can be surprised of the hidden intuition of his/her actions.



If you would see just the black and white versions of these photos, it would be not so clear to guess the real colours of these moments.  The flower looks white and the landscape photo under could be taken in a frozen winter day.




A peaceful summer blue against the stormy looking landscape.




This seems to be a fine day to drive a bike by the dunes.


But suddenly the lines at the sky are telling me that it might be hard to cycle against the strong wind. Who knows. The pictures are giving  the impression of the moment, but who took them and maybe manipulated the images a little bit, knows the story behind.



By photos you tell the story of the moment. My story, feeling, memory or explanation will differ from yours..even if we would have been at the same spot at the same time. The good thing is, there is  necessarily no need to talk about it. It is good to keep some things secret and just enjoy the life, share the moments and continue to make our own story.
