After the great review we shall fly away to warm countries, far from here, over hills and forests. The Storks. Hans Christian Andersen. It is a commonplace that autumn is one of the best times of the year for a landscape photographer. But, it’s true…I think. It’s time for enjoying the magnificent and the richContinue reading “Time to Fly Away, over Hills and Forests”

The Party is Over
While summer is coming to a close, televisions and newspapers have reported about the drought that the country suffers. The woodlands are in a dreadful state, the trees died and the citizens have to save water. I wanted to say to summer goodbye and I visited the Kellerwald-Edersee National Park, in the middle of Germany.Continue reading “The Party is Over”
Has to Be a Photograph a Factual Rendition of Reality?
The judgement of whether a thing is a work of art is a simple one and can be answered unambiguously. The term art has been settled to mean objects expressing human skill and imagination (read: creativity). Anything that meets these qualifications is—by definition—art. […] What remains ambiguous and open to subjective judgement is not whetherContinue reading “Has to Be a Photograph a Factual Rendition of Reality?”
Noisy Society
This days I realized how noisy our society is. In Germany there is always a road, a highway nearby, where cars and trucks come and go, or someone is working with a machine, or a plane crosses the sky… This days we are reaching high temperatures, the drought is a fact, and Coronavirus makes aContinue reading “Noisy Society”
Evolution of a Landscape
In mid-July, I visited the Lower Lusatia (Niederlausitz), a historical region stretching from the southeast of the German state of Brandenburg to the southwest of Lubusz Province in Poland. Lusatia provided much of the lignite, known as soft brown coal, that heated German homes and powered the country’s industrial rise. Lignite mining in Lusatia beganContinue reading “Evolution of a Landscape”
Do Trees Dream of Cleaner Soils, Water and Atmosphere?
One of the best things of landscape photography is that this craft allows a deeper look into the World around us. It is not only about aperture, shutter speed or composition rules. It is, as well, about, for example, Meteorology, Geography, and Biology. Working on my project Not Be Able to See the Trees forContinue reading “Do Trees Dream of Cleaner Soils, Water and Atmosphere?”
Getaway to the Red Cliffs
With the lockdown relaxing in Germany and other European countries, I decided to spend some days visiting a well-know Nature Conservation Area called Red Cliffs, in the basin of a tributary to the Rhine. The Red Cliffs are huge deposits of the reddish extrusive rock Rhyolite. The walk last around 3 hours, but taking picturesContinue reading “Getaway to the Red Cliffs”
To Pedal or not to Pedal
That is the question Some months ago, I took part in an exhibition, which title was Our Future Europe. My contribution was just a picture. You can see it below, the first one. Far away from a naive joy between golden stars and blue fields. Naturally, I got some criticisms. But in the middle ofContinue reading “To Pedal or not to Pedal”
A True Animal
At some moments, I think on that photo project, The True of the Animal. I have to confess that it is not an easy theme for me. At the beginning I thouhgt about self- portraits, but my colleagues didn’t feel very excited about my idea. Their opinion was to visit the Zoo and see whatContinue reading “A True Animal”
Unexpected Subject
Some friends of mine wanted that I should take part on a project, with a name something like The True of the Animal. I have no idea of taking pictures of animals and I didn’t understand the real scope of the project. Regardless of that problems, I visited the banks of Main river where usuallyContinue reading “Unexpected Subject”
