DIGGIN’ FOR AN OLD STORY ABOUT LIGHT…

Lobster boat leaving harbor at sunrise ------   

Commitments kept me grounded today, at least photographically seen, but there is always the chance to go into the photo library and dig out an image that has not seen the light of the day yet. I have created a book about the coast of Maine some time ago, sure sign that I’m in love with this area, and I like to return to the photos I made in 2013 at the Atlantic coast of the United States.

I can ensure you this is not just nostalgic thoughts of an aging man. It was the incredible light Joan and I have experienced during early morning and late afternoon hours that made us fell in love with Maine. Well, Joan may add that 50% was the limitless availability of fresh lobster and I have a hard time to argue about that…😉

Back to the light, I think during our visit in Maine it was the first time that I started really to understand what the term “quality of light” means. The photo above is not in my “coffee-table book” (Deutsch: Bildband), but if there is ever a second edition, I will consider this picture. Light as seen makes story telling a breeze…

VISUAL STORIES - COAST OF MAINE

I’m excited to announce that my latest photography project has been finished. It is called VISUAL STORIES- COAST OF MAINE and you can find it by clicking on the COLLECTIONS - tab above (or just HERE). The photos in this slide-show-like gallery are an excerpt from a book about the coast of Maine that I created already last year. I can tell you, it is the most difficult task during the whole process to downsize the number of pictures even more from an already existing project, like a book. The book is much bigger but I wanted to show you the essence of what we have seen, without making it too big. The coast of Maine is a wonderful place and has so many different things to offer. I want the photos tell the story about this great part of New England in the Northeast of the US, hence the title VISUAL STORIES. I hope you enjoy.
