Photography versus reality

Food Photography versus reality. Have you ever admired the perfect photographs of food on the boxes of the products you buy in the supermarkets. The food looks so tempting and delicious and you want to buy what you see. But when you open the box you always find something totally different. There is a cool website in Germany who shows the box with the photo and the real product. It's a great project and you will have fun looking at it.

So make sure to check it out here

Below are some examples of what you will find on the site.

Gone To The Beach

I just updated my website and added my new project "Gone To The Beach". It is about the cemetery culture here in Europe and especially Germany. While I was traveling to France and Austria I found some very interesting sites there as well. So, whenever I go on a trip, cemeteries are on my list.

You can check the new project out here

Two Way Lens

My new project Two Way Lens is now officially launched, starting with the wonderful Deborah Hamon.

Two Way Lens is a project designed to inform and inspire emerging photographers wanting to focus their creative output in a way that enhances their chances of finding an audience, being included in exhibitions and ultimately achieving gallery representation. The journey from inspired artist to successful artist is one that is often difficult to negotiate and hard to control. On these pages, I will feature the experiences and opinions of other photographers who I have found inspiring, and hopefully the knowledge they have built in their own experiences will be valuable to all of us finding our own way to sharing our creativity with the wider world.

Thanks so much to Deborah for taking the time to answer my three questions. I am so happy that she is the first one to kick this project off and I look forward to many more fantastic photographers following her in informing and inspiring us with their knowledge, wisdom and success.

Salzburg

My mother in law arrives today. She is on a trip in Great Britain and comes for about one week to visit us. So tomorrow we are taking her for a trip to Salzburg. It is her birthday present and her big wish to see Salzburg and some things about Mozart and "The Sound Of Music". So a big family trip is in front of us, with mother in law and Blinky Bill our dog. It will be fun.
