Dawn at the seaside...
Here you find an example for my picture-philosophy. A normal photographer would tear his hairs because the details are not "pin sharp". Normally people think since 1839, that is the advantage of photography is the image sharpness. So, the result is, that normally we have too much details on the photo, too many confusing details, too many items, which hinder us to see the main structures of the view or of the thing on the picture.
My "cetero censeo" is to reduce. Reduce image sharpness, wipe away uninportant details which are on the picture just by chance, reduce colours if necessary. Cut out all parts of the picture, which are not important for emotion, cut away all parts which are "empty", without life.
What is important on this picture: earth, sea and heaven, some houses. And first of all, the warm evening light. So I reduced the photo as long, until there is nothing to see than these elements. Heaven and sea merge into one colour, sand and sun just the same. The church and the house give shelter for the coming night...
