    Mysterium im Anmarsch, ich mach auch in Polaroid-Technik (also voll retromässig) mit oft ähnlicher Optik, immer eine Überraschung. Schönen Tag derweil und Grüsse aus Berlin!

      Vielen Dank.
      Bei mir ist das ja alles eher digital. Aber ich denke, wenn man analog arbeitet, kann man auch tolle Ergebnisse erziehlen.
      Ich habe mal Bilder von einem Fotografen gesehen, der Polaroids manipuliert hat, indem er teile wärend des Entwicklungsprozesses verwischt hat. Da waren wirklich beeindruckende Sachen dabei.

    Stel dat dit echt is… 🙃
    Er zitten rare surrealistische werelden verstopt in de oneindige ruimte van je creatief brein 👍
    Werelden, waar ik telkens graag van geniet ! 🤠

    Nothing says spite quite like a tiger in the yard.

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Definitely. That’s why I created this picture.

    Their maybe Something, that has attracted to much attention. Why humans have to undergo such a maddening pressure? This is a good old story, though.

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Indeed. Why do we make ourselves so much pressure?

    There is a novel in this picture. I need to read it!

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Well, I always try to write a novel – but then so many things come up and I loose my connection to what I have written.

      1. Kim in Fiji Avatar

        Keep trying to write that novel – I’m sure it will be fascinating.

      And in the lovely words of Maria Popova (as comment on your good work):
      Self-knowledge might be the most difficult of life’s rewards — the hardest to earn and the hardest to bear. To know yourself is to know that you are not an unassailable fixity amid the entropic storm of the universe but a set of fragilities in constant flux. To know yourself is to know that you are not invulnerable.

      The honest encounter with that vulnerability is the wellspring of art: Every artist’s art is their coping mechanism for the extreme sensitivity to aliveness that we call beauty — the transcendent and terrifying capacity to be moved by the world, to let something outside us stir deeply something within us. All great art — and only honest art can be great — is therefore the work of vulnerability and all integrity the function of fidelity to one’s fragilities.

    The guys below could be in trouble. The people above don’t seem to bothered by it! A commentary on today’s society perhaps. If it doesn’t affect ‘me’ why care.

      Thank you, Denise.
      Yes, that is exactly how people behave these days.

Share your thoughts! I'd love to hear what you think.
