What is photography?

Push of a button on the camera, field of vision, aperture time, revision, feeling in the stomach, eye, heart, renal, brain.
Idea, action and beauty of a moment.

Possibility of profession, but also amateurish simplicity.

Creativity is a human being muse, which could be found already in the Stone Age. Painting is as old as mankind, but photography is as young as industrialization – younger, but so mercurial in finesse. This seemed to be impossible for 10 years and was an expensive undertaking 5 years ago.
Photography is everywhere and nowhere possible. A photo can be sent almost gratis in the smallest size via cell phone. A photo can be perfectly distorted with the latest technology – supposable simple and almost not identifiable for a human being.
However the photography is to be used with intellect. Small finenesses and phenomena of nature, small situations in this one second are my inspiration, my gut instinct and my will to lend my eye to other people who can see my photos in the way I have seen them. Possible subsequent changes are seldom. If there are any, they give a new inspiration for situations from picturesque till apparitional, from grey till colorful, from black till white, from life till death and regarding seeing and experience.

When I was a young boy and got a camera in my fingers, I have had a motto: photography is to keep life in a moment, because time is only a small light spot of the memories which will be lapsed.
Those who see my photos shall hold what I saw and thought in exactly this one moment of pushing the button.
