The picture was taken at the festivities around the Swiss National Holiday. The little girl sitting on the shoulders of his daddy was at the same time excited and afraid of the fireworks and seemed to have been to have taken her plush along with her for providing comfort (and for showing her the fireworks as well).
Thanks to the pictures of Andreas Feininger, Henri-Cartier Bresson and the group f.64, I discovered my passion for photography. I prefer black and white photography because it emphasizes form, whether natural-made in plants or man-made in architecture. Further I like to capture moods, such as the transience of industrial equipment or the lightness of the moment in street photography.Earlier In the mid-2010s, I switched from analogue to a digital workflow. However, I remained true to my image processing principles and there is nothing on my printed images that was not already on the negative.
