We have a little replica of a Rapa Nui statue in our backyard. Our neighbour’s cat has a nicely dotted fur, which reminds us to Panda bears, hence we baptized her “Pandacat”. At Christmas Eve (sic) she sat in front of the Rapa Nui statue as she would be praying.
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.
