For ages, capturing and reproducing fleeting daily life moments seems to have been a human urge. After all, the oldest remained charcoal drawings in the French Chauvet grottoes date back 32.000 years.
Illustrations chiseled in stone by our ancestors can be found almost anywhere on our planet: early representations of elks or buffalos, reptile-like creatures, scenes of armed conflicts or social togetherness.
Yet, thousands of years still had to pass until mankind developed the technique of bringing together light and chemicals to fix a picture onto paper... and just when photography developed into a commonly accepted art form at the end of the 20th century, megapixel-lunatic marketing berserks pitched digital miniature gizmos for mass-compatible prices to the aesthetically and stylistically handicapped that all along felt drawn to higher photographic spheres with a raging vehemence that can only be understood — and forgiven — from an illimitable enterprise point of view. With still incalculable consequences...
Be that as it may, the desire to visualize daily life impressions seems to be timeless and classless — and also captivated me. Despite today's widespread conception that pretty much everything is exhibited already, pictures, in my humble opinion, still hold an immense expressive power — even in the age of information overkill, accompanied by a plethora of pictures intractable by any living individual.
Whether I manage to achieve a good, even professional level or just ridicule myself by publishing trivial and dispensable snapshots lies in the eye of the beholder. That's where it belongs to anyhow. The photographs I show here are pictures that touch me... in one way or the other — and perhas my enthusiasm reaches as far as to your heart.
Oh, by the way...
