About one and a half years ago I bought my Mamiya 7 analogue camera, because I wanted to get to know the world of analogue photography. Now i started my first official analogue series about the “iron belt of Bilbao”. I walk around through the forests around Bilbao looking for remains of the belt. The series is going to be in black.
It was a very foggy day, the day I went to Ronda. I almost couldn´t see the famous bridge called “Puente Nuevo”. At the end I wasn´t so impressed by the bridge, I thought the huge lights that lighten it up at night were more interesting for my visual eye! The city was very idyllic though, even if it rained during the whole day.
Nice view onto the sea on the platform in Torrox. I dedicate this picture to the freedom I have been given with the Artist in Residency in Malaga I am in at the moment. It is nice to be able to work in what I most like, instead of needing to do commercial jobs. Photography is the perfect medium for me because I love to discover new places and meet all kinds of different people.
it was a beautiful and sunny day when I went to see the cemetary of Casabermeja. Walking in the mountains i discovered this nice little spot.
It was an interesting trip going to Torrox beach. Actually I had in mind going to this little idyllic town called Torrox, I had looked up in the internet, but then I accidently went off the bus one station too early and found myself in the middle of a “Las Vegas” made for German tourists. If Martin Parr would make movies, i would have definitely felt like being right in the middle of one. This place was flooded of artificiality, all waiters talking German, typical offers like tapas and sangria 2 for 1 written in fluorescent letters. At the beginning i was quite frustrated because of being there, because i really hate these touristic impersonal places, but it is a good and funny training for the mind and makes you thing about the absurdity of life. Thanks for that Torrox Beach.
At the end i found this spot at the beach I really liked and without my getting lost I wouldn´t have it in my collection of Malaga pictures.
It started out to be a very beautiful day, but then suddenly the weather changed, maybe I hadn´t got the best views, but the ambiance was just fantastic, melancholic and misterious.
The horses up in the “mountain” reminded me a lot of the cows we have in austria. There was no fence, they where just freely walking around with huge bells around their necks.
