IN WAVES WE MOVE ...
“About summer breaks, why the water is “broken,”
and lots of waves…
Über „Räuber“, Stadt, Land & Fluss
“Why is the water broken?”
This question was recently asked by a small child next to me as I crossed back from Denmark to Germany on the ferry. I watched the fascinating waves left behind by the steaming ferry colossus in the Baltic Sea with a photographer’s eye.
“Who made the waves?” asked another child.
The parents eagerly explained technical concepts, using terms such as ship propeller and propulsion.
I stood on the sunny, windy deck and continued to gaze out at the water. There were so many different kinds of waves there:
the huge, white wake of our ferry—almost like a contrail. Then the less impressive wakes of fast-moving cargo ships in the distance. The delicate lines of small sailboats, which looked like nutshells here. And of course: the movement of the Baltic Sea itself.
I had already captured this photographically from the Danish shore—at different times of the day and evening: dancing lines, shapes, colors, reflections, light.
They reminded me of the waves on the lakes of southern Germany, which I had visited with my camera in recent months. Sometimes moving, sometimes completely still.
And that’s exactly what my picture show above is about—many special waves.
Whether captured using ICM technology or in a classic style, I have always found water and gentle waves to be incredibly positive and regenerating.
So it’s no wonder that my very first attempts at long exposure photography by the water and my first steps into ICM technology took place at a lake, specifically the beautiful and diverse Ammersee.
And how the circle closes: right there—at Lake Ammersee, in the Blaues Haus cultural forum in Dießen—I now have the opportunity to present my personal “Seewellen” series: as modern lightfast prints, but also digitally flooded (“ogschwemmt”).
The latter is this year’s theme of the art retreat, in which I am very happy to participate.
I am therefore all the more delighted to be able to offer a workshop as part of the exhibition—or, to be more precise, two free “introductory hands-on photography courses” between the Blue House and the lake shore—no matter what camera you have—facing the waves, so to speak.
Perhaps we will also find out who is making the waves—and why water may be broken. Or perhaps not. Who knows…
