Stolen Moments - Privacy in public spaces
Inspired by american painter Edward Hopper this is an ongoing free project about privacy in public places and furtive moments of intimacy - when people are on their's own. Pictures are taken with a *cheap* entry level digital camera - most of the time even without looking through the viewfinder, so that the photographed persons are not ware of the act of photography. The manipulation / "watercolor effect" is part of the challenge as it is immediately applied in camera during the photographic act - without any possibility for the photographer to intervene - similar to the effect of wet plate collodions. I'm photographing in the streets since 35 years. From the first bw - slow sync experiments with superwide angle following strangers or the sx-70 polaroid work to the new series it was a logical evolution as I like try out new things using the possibiliies of any camera.
