Leonardo da Vinci, Trattato della Pittura:

"Look at a wall spotted with stains, or with a mixture of stones (...) you may discover a resemblance to landscapes (...) battles with figures in action ... strange faces and costumes (...) and an endless variety of objects"

"wenn du manches Gemäuer mit verschiedenen Flecken oder mit einem Gemisch aus verschiedenartigen Steinen anschaust; (...) so kannst Du dort Bilder verschiedener Landschaften mit Bergen, Flüssen, Felsen, Bäumen, großen Ebenen, Tälern und Hügeln verschiedener Arten sehen; ebenso kannst Du dort verschiedene Schlachten und Gestalten mit lebhaften Gebärden, seltsame Gesichter und Gewänder und unendlich viele Dinge sehen"
(Sämtliche Gemälde und die Schriften zur Malerei, hrsg., kommentiert und eingeleitet v. André Chastel, München 1990, 384-385)

    "I never fail to be amazed at the incredible images that HWSH sees, captures, and shares so generously. The magical textures and "worlds within worlds" keep me wondering, exploring and returning for new visual adventures. I truly admire this artist's work. rbanker"

    "Every time I take a look at the EXIF data for one of HWSH's works I am blown away. Hans Walter proves that the attainment of photographic art is not dependent upon more expensive technology, and for this reason his page is an important one. It should be held up as a challenge to the so-called "professional" photographers to dig out an old point-and-shoot and show us what they can do. Here too, is a testimonial to a Canon powershot. I never tire of Hans Walter's work, and I always look forward to his next offering."
