In winter 2021/22 I was in Venice and also visited the beach at the Lido. This is known to many from the film festivals, but here a completely different picture emerged. Abandoned by people and shrouded in thick fog, almost spooky. And so I passed the pier, which gave a really disastrous impression. In combination with the fog, it looked like a lost place, which was also appropriate for the Corona times.
I am 54 years old and live in Seligenstadt, Hesse. For many years, I worked as a landscape gardener, where I was able to work creatively with nature. Due to tragic events, I can no longer pursue my profession, which gave me time to devote more intensively to photography. Initially, it was primarily while traveling and in nature that I discovered abstract and contemporary photography. With a camera, you can create beautiful, individual works of art; you just have to get involved. This doesn't happen at the push of a button, however; it happens intuitively, based on the situation.
