| Summary: | In the sixty-four years until this day, I have recorded, among my other topics, over four hundred human faces, above all those of family members and friends. I had studied geology and had become a geologist, which meant making endless journeys all over the world and also inevitably making countless human contacts. So I could also photograph human faces over and over again in all the visited countries. As a geologist,0I usually only met people living in the countryside such as farmers, shepherds, fishermen or innkeepers, but hardly a city dweller.0With the help of the camera, I have tried to capture the many expressive possibilities of the human face, understanding that every face is unmistakable.0I have experimented with various camera models and film types of analogue photography, but I said goodbye to them in 2014 in order to get to know and to use the almost inexhaustible possibilities of digital photography, most recently using a monochrome Leica. I have, however, remained as faithful as possible to one classical tool of photography: the tripod." |
