Shoot # 52

The above photo was shot at the reception of the Photo London fair. It’s a digital gift to you from Oberg PhotoGraphics – a moment of contemplation and beauty with which I wish you a good Sunday and ‘weekbegin’.

A special welcome to many new subscribers, visitors and friends on social media – not the least those participating in Photo London. Here is the preceding shoot that you didn’t get.

“Photo London” & more London
I’m just back from this very exciting international art photo event at Somerset House – 84 leading photo galleries exhibiting their best, all kinds, media, styles, techniques from vintage to today’s experimental and even camera-less photography.

I’ve written an art recommendation – I’m not an art critic – Photo London: Positive Notes with quite a few of my images from the fair and short texts about what fascinated me. Networking, sharing and creating positive energy is what I believe in.

Further, I made some out-of-focus shots from the venue – just images of details, people, Somerset House, mirrors, etc. For those who were there and for those who wish they had been able to go.

London is the world capital of photography in May at least. So I also went to Photographers’ Gallery with Deutsche Börse prize shortlisted artists, Tate Modern with Performing for the Camera, Tate Britain’s Painting With Light and the OXO Fix Photo 
Positive notes to come!

Montenegro
Recently hiked in Montenegro’s wild nature with its majestic mountains and magic lakes. Here a few shots – nature photography as well as Gerhard Richter-inspired ‘blurred’ images that I call contours.

This shoot newsletter
– leads you to the online GlobalArt magazine that I curate. Click and inspiration is guaranteed. It’s sharing of art for cultural bridgebuilding and civilisation – the opposite of war and bombing. And it’s news about a photo and other art blog.

Exhibition “Abstract Real” on into June
Visitors tell me that my studio is more like a home than a cool, commercial gallery. You can watch photos and browse books as well as discuss art and global affairs with me. It’s by appointment only – but anytime. And I am present to care for each visitor.
