I am not my work.
I am a photographer, writer, a loving husband and father.
Most of my pictures are in black and white, that is not intentional when I take my pictures. I almost always make one color and one bw to see which one that speaks to me and which one does the picture most justice. Somehow, the choice is almost always the bw version. I love the dynamic and the beauty of it.
I read a quote at someones profile that just stuck in my head, because it describes so well how I feel concerning bw. It goes something like this and if I got it wrong I appologize.
"When you photograph people in color you can see the color of their clothes. But when you photograph people in black and white, you can see their souls! "
Anyway,
Be happy with what you got, it can ALWAYS get worse.
Life is a journey, not a destination..
Sincerly
Peter...

marcoqueigas says:
"Impressed me about your work because you have a perfect control over the high lights and strong contrasts. His work is clean and completely clear. And I'm not even talking about his compositions, which I consider one of the best I have ever seen.
Your photos are a real lesson for me. I just hope to be smart enough to learn."13th December, 2011

"Peter is one of the best photographers on Flickr in my eyes. He always gives that extra that makes an image special and makes you want to sit there and look at it for awhile..and wonder how he did it..In my books he is A+++++especially in his B&W images.
Keep giving us images from the soul . You express them so wonderfully in your work.."30th October, 2011
