Close to the horizon

Photographer Catherine Opie once said „The biggest cliché in photography is sunrise and sunset.” For understandable reasons the sky at this day- or night-time is a fantastic photo subject. First of all no sunrise or sunset is identical and offers many differences. In some the sun appears as an orange dot rising or disappearing into the distant horizon, in other it is not visible at all. The colours of the sky can shift from light to dark as in a colourful painting and sometimes it even looks like that there are actually some brushstrokes in the sky.
When I was in Finland a few weeks ago I couldn’t resist taking pictures of the sunset at Lake Näsijärvi and Pyhäjärvi. For me it still has something magical when sky and water meet...

We are all Wonder Women...

Happy International Women's Day!
I'd like to dedicate this blog entry to all the women of all ages in my life who encourage me to believe in myself and in my dreams.
Especially I would like to thank my lovely sister: She is so smart, beautiful, funny and my inspiration.

Behind every woman is herself.


To the future

I think everything in life is art. What you do. How you dress. The way you love someone, and how you talk. Your smile and your personality. What you believe in, and all your dreams. The way you drink your tea. How you decorate your home. Or party. Your grocery list. The food you make. How your writing looks. And the way you feel. Life is art.
— Helena Bonham Carter
