Peter Femto's photostream  

Amateur photographer, living in Lower Saxony, Germany.

I became more busily engaged in photography after buying my first DSLR in 2008. Most of my pictures were shot with a Nikon D300, some old analogue stuff was captured with a Nikon F-801.

Flickr is a great place to become inspired by other people`s creative work. Unfortunately, I`m too short of time to get more active here. Each comment on my photos whatsoever is most appreciated, even if I will not be able to visit as many streams in return as I would like to. Thank you for your interest!

No serial group invitations, please!!

Some of my favourite quotations somehow related to photography as I see it:

Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still. - Dorothea Lange

Digital photography allows us just not to capture memories but it also allows us to create them. - James Wayner

In my view you cannot claim to have seen something until you have photographed it.
- Emile Zola

Photography, as we all know, is not real at all. It is an illusion of reality with which we create our own private world. - Arnold Newman

Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one. - Albert Einstein

All photos are accurate. None of them is the truth. - Richard Avedon

Photography deals exquisitely with appearances, but nothing is what it appears to be. - Duane Michals

Photographs that transcend but do not deny their literal situation appeal to me. - Sam Abbel

It's weird that photographers spend years or even a whole lifetime, trying to capture moments that added together, don't even amount to a couple of hours. - James Lalropui Keivom

I have discovered photography. Now I can kill myself. I have nothing else to learn. - Pablo Picasso
