tschnitzlein's photostream  

Weaving back and forth between abstract and representational, between purist photography and heavily processed imagery, I am interested more in what is behind an image than what can be seen on its surface. Inner realities are often more exciting than outward appearance. My photostream highlights the search for commonalities of both spheres - if I could picture seeing itself, that would be my favourite topic.

My intention in making pictures is to unveil what goes beyond merely perceiving - it is about what it takes to recognize, to realize, to understand and to appraise the inner nature of the people or objects I show. This means to learn and understand the very principles of aesthetics and how our brain processes, analyzes and categorizes what we see. At the end of this journey, I hope to provoke moments of satori in the recipient of my images.

I currently use a Nikon D300 DSLR with lenses from 12mm to 200mm, a Konica Hexar RF film rangefinder camera with lenses from 15mm to 90mm and a Fujifilm X100 for my new passion - street photography.








It's a pity Flickr doesn't allow to fave entire sets - so I'll have to find another way to do this. Here is my collection of others' sets on Flickr that I keep coming back to:

Gwhugley's "Letting the days go by"

Amiko's "Computer Molested"

Nomm de Photo's "Abstracts"

Tous les noms sont déjà pris... pfff...'s "M-PEOPLE" set
