For hundred years, we thought, that photography means reality. That was wrong, because it´s a false idea, that there is only one way to see reality. The same object will be seen different by a cat, a dragonfly, a butterfly, a bird or a human being. Lets ous take a beautifull lake as an example.
The cat with its different eyes, seeing above all the infrared colours, may see it in another way. And the view of the human beings will be the third.
Who is gonna tell, which view is wright and which is wrong? Noboddy. It´s the same situation as if you watch the sky with different kinds of telescopes. The X-ray telescope will bring other results than the infrared telescope. And in the opitcal light, which man can see, you will have the third impression of the examinated sky region. Each telescope will give you special informations according to its capicities.
There ist not one image of reality, there are lots of it. So if we know that, we have the right to find new aspects in our photos. We dont manipulate them, we just find new realities and astonishing new aspects behind the first view. All these pictures above are based on photos, but more and more they are moving towards painting. Thats what painting means: find new aspects of reality.In this sence, we can practise painting with photos. We are at the border between painting and photography. They kiss each other. They love to kiss each other. Nothing will be successful without love.
