“Photography, as we all know, is not real at all. It is an illusion of reality with which we create our own private world.”  [Arnold Newman]

“A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you, the less you know.”  [Diane Arbus]

The Crystal Ball goes colour…

I started a few 365-projects over the years. But somehow all of them run dry after some times. So I am quite happy (and a little bit proud ;-)) that my Crystal Ball-Project survived already a whole month. And it even serves me as a "testing ground" for my next project...

January 30, 2014 _ C.B. meets his brothers...

There is no progress in art, any more than there is progress in making love. There are simply different ways of doing it... [Man Ray]

THIS IS THE END, MY FRIENDS...

So this is the last day of the year 2013 (well, at least in our culture area). Usually it is the day when one is reflecting on the bygone year, planning ahead for the next year, making your New Year's resolution...

I have done this for the last few days. Most of it was thinking about the way my photography will develop in the next twelve month. But for sure this a thing you can't predict anyway. Just let it flow. Panta rhei... In any case it will be an interesting year. As it is always with photography...

There is nothing permanent except change.

In 365 days one can see which way your photography has developed. If you have taken the right turn or if you have fought yourself in a labyrinth... 

Taking the right turn...

...or running around in endless circles.

May the perfect light always be with you in 2014. ;-)
